Whether through keynotes, workshops, breakout sessions, or in my own events, one of my favorite things to do is spread the message and tools to achieve career happiness through speaking.

I’ve spoken all over the world (all over the United States, as well as Canada, Sweden and Singapore to name a few) on a range of career-related topics including:

✓ How to be Happier and More Productive at Work
✓ Personal Branding for Career & Business Success
✓ 3 Secrets to Landing the Job of Your Dreams
✓ Workplace Confidence and Empowerment for Women
✓ Establishing Influence at Work
✓ Finding Joy in Your Career, No Matter Your Job
✓ Networking for Introverts

Here are some kind words from the planner and coordinator of a recent event:

Working with Kristen was such a pleasure! She spoke about finding happiness and fulfillment at work – why it is so important and how to do it in the real world. She offered both insight and practical tools for the audience to be happier at work now. Her personal experience and client stories made the audience feel like they weren’t alone or wrong for being unhappy at work and gave them hope for turning it around. She was personable, motivating, and encouraged the audience to make their career dreams a reality. ~Danielle Wilson, Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber

I signed up for the Executive Interview Summit and saw your presentation. You were AWESOME! Of course you were. You were funny, engaging and full of great insights from the beginning to the end. We were all leaning in on the edge of our seats when you were speaking. If I were looking for a job, I would definitely want to hire you! ~JoAnn Durrette

Kristen is an alumna for my current firm and we hosted an Alumni Lunch & Learn event where Kristen was asked to be our speaker. Every detail from working with Kristen was top notch, from her pre-event organization and communication, to her presence on screen and how she executed her workshop on the topic of “Resilience”. I could’ve listened for another 2 hours of Kristen’s content and super stoked to continue learning from her by reading her book, “Job Joy”.

Kristen is truly living out her dharma by exalting her skills and talents to be career coach, keynote speaker and mentor. She is kind, articulate, organic, charismatic, incredibly intelligent and teaches practices that will make a difference in your career happiness. I have hosted and watched several keynote speakers on the topics that Kristen covered with us but what she is teaching on how to recognize discontentment in your career, building resilience, recover from burnout and work towards your truest career dreams is unmatched. I would highly recommend hiring Kristen to make a difference for you or your organization. ~Lindsay Dorio

As a co-lead for my company’s women’s group, I hired Kristen Zavo to present a Self-Leadership Workshop to over 200 people at our company. Kristen had multiple interesting topics that she could present and was happy to blend content and modify in a way that best served our audience. As we organized the event, she was responsive, professional, and overall a great partner. The event itself was highly successful. We received many unprompted compliments afterwards from attendees.

Kristen has a down-to-earth approach that helps employees to relate to her as a person. Sometimes, speakers can appear too scripted or formal, resulting in a stiff or unrelatable output. Contrary to this, Kristen did a great job of clearly knowing her material and communicating professionally, while also interacting with participants as someone who can truly empathize with them. Overall, I would recommend working with Kristen and we look forward to partnering with her in the future! ~Amy Duquette
