In a world driven by AI, automation, and constant change, service-based organizations are losing what matters most...human connection.

Kristi Lyn Davis helps hospitality and service-based leaders build cultures where people feel seen, valued, and welcomed so their teams create exceptional customer experiences that drive loyalty and long-term growth.

She delivers an immersive experience that models human connection in real time while teaching leaders how to create that same connection within their own teams and organizations.

These sessions give leaders and teams the space to practice new skills and apply them immediately, amplifying the impact long after the event ends.
As a seasoned entrepreneur and goal-execution strategist, Kristi Lyn brings more than 20 years of real-world leadership experience across multiple industries. She built her first business at the age of twenty two and has since owned and operated service-driven companies including restaurants, car washes, and a lakeside resort. Her background also includes retail management and corporate consulting where she was entrusted with identifying leadership breakdowns, elevating company culture, and improving customer experience.
Kristi Lyn has held leadership roles in nonprofit organizations and served on multiple executive boards, giving her a deep understanding of organizational dynamics, community impact, and high-level decision-making.
