    Redefining Your Purpose with Kristina DiPalo (Speaker’s Salon Showcase)

    Today, I’m super excited to share a talk from my 2023 Speaker’s Salon Showcase. This showcase is the culmination of a 6-week live intensive speaking program I curate each year in New York City. 
     
    The speakers featured in previous showcases have gone on to speak on multiple TEDx stages, in front of Congress, at the United Nations, for The Fearless Women Summit, and have been picked up by the same speaker bureaus who represent talents such as Mel Robbins, Jay Shetty, and Barbara Corcoran. 
     
    They are game-changing thought leaders, and I know you’ll love hearing their big talks in these special bonus episodes.
     
    This week, I am featuring speaker Kristina DiPalo as she shares her talk, “I Am Not Done.”
     
    Kristina is recognized as a gifted leadership coach, public speaker, strategic communicator, and leadership brand professional.
     
    Leveraging her skills in narrative and dynamic storytelling, Kristina brings her clients insights and tools to reframe their thinking around what is possible, how to achieve it, and how to articulate their truth in compelling ways.
     
    In her talk, she explores:
     
    The heartbreaking story of her father's struggle with retirement and the belief that his productive years were over
    Why you should find clarity in your passions
    The power of redefining your purpose 
    How to forge your path in a world that too often dictates worth based on age

Embracing Vulnerability

Tricia’s podcasts are full of wisdom nuggets for speakers. However, many of them address topics that anyone can benefit from such as Embracing Vulnerability or How Fear Sabotages the Way we Show Up. I recommend anyone interested in overcoming life limitations to listen to her podcasts which are usually short enough to squeeze in any busy schedule! Have fun!

Love this show!!!! ,

Unique Show, Great Guests!

Love this show. Such great information being shared!

So authentic!

I love how deep Tricia goes in these conversations- way deeper than I’ve heard these guests go on other shows! By authentically unpacking the success of others, I’ve found deeper ways to embody the “next level” me I aspire for! Beyond inspiring!
