The Kristin Gutierrez Podcast

You say you’re a good speaker.

But are you unforgettable?

In this high-impact conversation, Kristin Gutierrez interviews Caleb Spittler on the art and science of communication, and what it truly takes to move from “good talk” to transformational speaker.

They break down:

• Why most leaders overestimate their communication skills
• The 4 non-negotiables of a powerful keynote
• How to establish credibility without ego
• Why emotion, not information, drives action
• The real test of whether your talk worked
  

If you’re building your brand, leading teams, or stepping onto bigger stages, this episode will challenge you to raise your standard.

Because the goal isn’t applause.

Its impact.

What if the hardest part of dementia care is not caring for your loved one but learning how to care for yourself, too?

In this episode, Kristin sits down with dementia care specialist Ludie Hansen to talk about the emotional reality of caregiving, burnout, grief, and life after a dementia diagnosis.

What if the real problem is not that working moms cannot handle it all, but that they were never meant to do it alone?

Kristin Gutierrez reconnects with friend, author, and workplace advocate Heather Powers for a deeply honest conversation about career growth, motherhood, burnout, flexibility, and why community matters now more than ever.

Heather opens up about leaving behind the traditional corporate model that no longer worked for her family, writing a book on why organizations need moms in leadership, and launching The Village, a supportive community designed for women balancing ambition, work, and family life.

This conversation feels like sitting down with 2 friends who understand the pressure, the pivoting, the emotional load, and the desire to still want something for yourself beyond the daily schedules and responsibilities.

Let’s be honest.

Most professionals say they want to grow… but very few take full ownership of their development.

In this conversation, Kristin and Lee Densmer break down what upskilling really looks like in today’s world, and why waiting for permission is career quicksand.

From newsletters and books to stretch assignments, feedback, mentorship, and mindset, this episode gives you 10+ actionable ways to stay sharp, visible, and promotable.

If you’ve ever thought:  “I’ll grow when my company invests in me.”

This episode might lovingly challenge that belief.

Because the professionals who advance fastest?  They don’t wait.

They decide.

Okay, real talk. This conversation started with a simple but uncomfortable question. If money needed to be made fast, what would actually happen next?

That question led to a shift.

Kristin shares what changed recently, from considering getting a job at Costco to realizing there was an entire level of skill that had not been fully activated. Sales, marketing, and operations. The combination that changes everything when applied correctly.

This episode goes into what happens when pressure increases, why selling your own offers feels heavier, and the moment it becomes clear that it is not a strategy problem. It is a decision problem.

There is honesty in this one. About ego. About growth. About doing things that once felt off limits.

If things have felt stuck or repetitive in business, this conversation will land.

Ever feel like you don’t belong in the very room you worked so hard to enter?

This isn’t about buzzwords.

It’s about what happens when you evolve… and your identity has to catch up.

What happens when a four-year-old loses her hearing overnight… and no one around her knows how to support her?

In this episode of Confident Leadership, Kristin sits down with international speaker, author, and deaf advocate Kelina Powell to talk about resilience, advocacy, and breaking barriers for young adults with disabilities.

From being bullied in school to becoming a global voice for the deaf community, Kelina shares what it really takes to build confidence when the world isn’t built for you.

If you care about leadership, inclusion, education, or the next generation, this one will move you.

Because confidence starts with knowing you’re not alone.

We talk about leadership.

We talk about confidence.

But what about the voice in your head that says, “Who do you think you are?”

In this episode, Kristin sits down with Rasha Abu Taleb for a real, vulnerable conversation about starting over, imposter syndrome, fear, and what it actually takes to reinvent yourself.

If you’re entering a new season, pivoting careers, or feeling like a beginner again… this episode will hit home.

Because leadership isn’t about having it all figured out.

It’s about saying yes, and moving anyway.
