“Kris Boesch brought energy and excitement to the Utah Library Association’s Annual Conference. Her ideas and approaches to making the workplace better are innovative and empowering. I’ve already used what I learned to coach 2 of my employees in the few weeks since our conference. We had a diverse group of conference attendees and it’s not always easy to find a speaker who can resonate with everyone. Kris accomplished this and her keynote address was listed the most as the favorite session by our conference attendees.”
Dan Compton, Director, Summit County Library
“AMAZING! AWESOME! I can’t wait to take this back to my workplace and start implementing! These types of comments were repeated over and over as our attendees filed out of Kris’s closing keynote at the 2019 HR Florida Conference & Expo. She even had our 2,700 attendees up and doing the chicken dance! She cleverly mixed valuable insights with interactive experiences. Boesch contributed to making our conference a huge success and was incredibly easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a down-to-earth, high-energy keynote speaker who provides innovative and actionable content (and good dancing!).”

Thank you for your contribution to creating extraordinary workplace cultures – and not just in the private sector, but in the public sector as well.

Thank you for providing BOTH insightful innovative content AND tangible ways to meaningfully implement the ideas shared.”
