- How & why she created YouMap® as a holistic tool to help people understand how they work, what’s important to them, the skills that motivate them & their personality & interests
- How coaching & guided conversation allows us to connect details, be more honest with ourselves & see possibilities
- Leading vs managing
- How & why labels can become barriers, & how our identities are inherited from the authority figures in our lives
- The importance of deep self-discovery & reflection to ensure we live the lives we want rather than the lives someone else wants us to live
- Career types
- The bottomless pursuit of money

Kristin’s advice to her younger self:
