How Kristy is building a better working world
“As an athlete myself, I am acutely aware of how sport has helped shape my own professional career. Resilience, confidence, passion, leadership and an unwavering focus are qualities elite athletes possess and qualities that the business world requires. I am thankful to be helping create the leaders of tomorrow by developing programs that support the successful transition of athletes into the business world.”
