Testimonials for Kristel Bauer as a Top Keynote Speaker and Podcast Host
“Kristel Bauer is a gift. I have worked in the public/private sector for nearly 40 years and believe she is the best Keynote conference speaker I’ve ever encountered. It is not an overstatement to describe her style and message as “life changing.”
“I had the opportunity to hear Kristel's inspirational message at the Vision Source Exchange and WOW! As a fellow heath care professional, she was able to perfectly blend real life challenges of knowing yourself with science to help me really understand my own challenges in a way that shows me I can make changes to bring more happiness into my own life. Because of Kristel's message, I will be a stronger leader of my team, a more compassionate doctor to my patients and, most importantly, a better husband and dad. How do you thank someone for that? My advice is that if you have an opportunity to bring Kristel Bauer to your team, you should take it.”

Her approach was both refreshing and enlightening. Kristel did not just talk about the usual "tips and tricks" but delved into how we can nurture a profound connection. What made Kristel’s talk especially impactful was her ability to connect with the audience through personal anecdotes and evidence-based practices. She provided actionable insights that I, along with many others, found immediately applicable. Kristel's message left a lasting imprint on my outlook. It was not just another lecture, but a compelling call to action to rethink and reprioritize what truly matters in our lives."

This was the NCA Chapter’s first in-person MAC since 2019. Her opening keynote address on "Reduce Stress & Thrive Personally and Professionally with Work/Life Integration” was incredibly timely and needed given all that we have been through over the last 3 years. Her messages resonated with our audience and set the stage for a great day of education and networking with colleagues and friends in our industry. Kristel was so easy-going, and an immense pleasure to work with from the first days of reaching out to check her interest and availability for this event; through the planning and preparation of the event; and then culminating in a spot-on kick-off to our MAC 2022.

I'm A-type by nature, so attended every possible session and Kristel's was one of the most inspiring, uplifting, yet soothing talks! I'm no stranger to health and wellness working in the healthcare arena, yet, Kristel's talk was erudite, clear, and thought provoking throughout. I particularly enjoyed her touching on various practical interventions to boost one's inner well being, but in addition, branching that out to influence positively all those around you, from corporate teams, clients, and other customers. At the end of the day, as Kristel emphasized so well, there is a positive synergy between self nurturing and optimally impacting others. I would highly recommend her as an expert and positive influencer in this space.”
