KEYNOTE: THE KFG METHOD
Keep F*!#ing Going
Change is inevitable, but how teams navigate through it defines their ability to grow stronger together. 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 (involvment 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.

“Krista did not just speak TO us. She connected WITH us and it felt like she was speaking directly to me!’
My job is to help you learn a little, laugh a lot, and get clear on action steps for your success.
It may have taken a life changing event to shake me awake and decide I no longer wanted to live a comfortable life… I wanted to embrace the discomfort and live a life of courage and intention.
My audience members will walk away with a heightened awareness, self accountability, and clear action… while having a ton of fun! Warning: Sore cheeks from smiling may occur.
After 16+ years as a Human Resources Director at a financial organization, I stepped out of the office and onto the stage to share my strategies of transitioning from average to elite in your personal and professional world. And yes, we are getting in our own d*mn way!
