Kristin Ericksen

Kristin Ericksen is a keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, and peak performance coach with more than 25 years of experience coaching 3,000+ clients across 20+ industries, including celebrities, elite athletes, executives, and entrepreneurs. Peak performance is in Kristin's DNA. She grew up around it, watching her father, a strength coach for the Utah Jazz, train NBA greats like Karl Malone and John Stockton. That early education shaped a 25-year career at the intersection of fitness, kinesiology, and human performance, where she optimized the bodies and wellbeing of some of the most recognizable names in entertainment, including Linda Hamilton, Cindy Crawford, Olivia Newton-John, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jeff Goldblum, and Gary Sinise. When she lost her fitness business overnight, Kristin rebuilt in a completely new industry. Within 18 months, she rose to the top 2% in sales for a leading financial services company. She knows the drive to achieve from the inside, along with the decisions that make performance sustainable, especially when circumstances change. We measure results, revenue, and return on investment. Kristin believes those numbers tell only part of the story. Her Return on Energy perspective asks people to examine what they spend to produce those results and what that investment is doing to their health, relationships, and ability to keep performing when the pressure rises and the ground shifts. On stage, Kristin speaks to corporate and association audiences, leaders, high-performing teams, and women in business about how to sustain peak performance through change, uncertainty, and difficult times: performing under pressure, protecting their energy, building resilience, avoiding burnout, and leading through transition. Through personal stories, humor, and audience interaction, she challenges people to ask: "Is the energy I'm spending worth what I'm getting, and is what I'm getting worth what it's costing me?" Audiences leave with a way to spot where their energy is being drained, rethink what they have been calling success, and make a more deliberate choice about where to invest themselves next, so they can keep performing at their peak no matter what changes around them. Your energy is always becoming something.
