“Kristel Bauer is a phenomenal guest speaker who recently delivered the keynote for our cityCURRENT signature speaker series in Memphis, Tennessee. Her warm, positive energy radiated throughout the room and her customized presentation focused on “Finding Your Imperfect Happy” was filled with helpful tips for how we can show up for ourselves and others, how we can create new habits and protect and refocus our energy for productive outcomes, and how we can embrace the imperfections in life and career to find happiness and fulfillment. From the pre-event planning and finding the perfect topic blend for our audience through a delightful dinner with executives from our hosting corporate partner to her impactful and valuable keynote presentation the next morning, Kristel was an utmost professional and such a delight to work with and host. She made it easy, she made it fun, and she hit a home run with our audience, which is still sending us great feedback from the event. So, we’re looking forward to booking Kristel as a speaker for more events in the future.”

“As President-Elect of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) of the Rocky Mountains, it was our sincere pleasure to welcome Kristel Bauer as our keynote speaker at the 2025 Annual Conference in Avon, Colorado. From start to finish, Kristel was the utmost professional. She was engaged, collaborative, and deeply committed to creating a powerful and relevant experience for our audience of healthcare leaders. Her keynote, grounded in the principles of her book Work Life Tango, offered timely and impactful insights. She delivered a compelling message about finding peak performance without sacrificing well-being, showing ourselves grace as we stretch into new challenges, and becoming the kind of leader we truly admire. As we continue important conversations about supporting our workforce and protecting them from burnout, Kristel’s message was both rejuvenating and empowering. It resonated deeply with our audience and left a lasting impression. We are grateful for her voice in this conversation—and for the inspiration she brought to our leadership community.”
