- The situation
- Kristi delivered the opening keynote for 300+ attendees at the NC TECH Summit for Women in Tech, connecting AI with human judgment, trust, and decision-making.
- What Lighthouse did
- Kristi used Authentic Authority™ and practical decision questions to connect trust and leadership styles with human judgment, decision ownership, and the people affected by a decision. Archetype stickers gave participants a visible way to start the conversation.
- The result
- Within three hours of the keynote, Kristi was hired for a leadership retreat, a workshop, and a keynote. Every book she brought to the summit sold, and the opening keynote received a standing ovation.
- After the room
- The keynote led directly to three new engagements. Authentic Authority™ gave participants a shared language to take into their teams and continued conversations after the session.
