Keynote Speaker:
Krista Ryan is a certified executive coach, speaker, and Workplace Performance expert on a mission to help leaders thrive through chaos and change. As CEO of KfG Coaching , she works with everyone from startup founders to elite athletes. A former HR Director and third-generation bank leader, she brings nearly 20 years of hands-on leadership experience. Krista is the author of The Keep F!#ING Going*—a bold, practical guide for leading with clarity and confidence.
This keynote introduces Krista’s transformative KFG Method — an empowering formula developed in the wake of personal and professional upheaval. Originally created as a response to personal tragedy (involvement in the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017 and also a recent Stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis as of May 2024) this method has evolved into a powerful approach for leading with purpose, perseverance, and resilience through challenging times. Teams will learn how to build unity and collaboration by focusing on shared goals, mutual accountability, and forward momentum.
Rated PG for candid and authentic conversations, The KFG Method (Keep F*!#ing Going) equips participants with a tangible action plan for navigating unexpected changes with confidence, ultimately creating stronger team bonds and a deeper sense of purpose.
