About Kristin
The conversation beneath the conversation
Make the shift
that changes everything.
Kristin Stapleton helps leadership teams have the conversations no one's having.
Not the conversations about strategy or metrics — those happen constantly. The ones about what's actually keeping a team stuck: a leader who can't let go, an executive whose standards have quietly become a ceiling, a team that's stopped telling the truth about what isn't working.
Most organizations avoid these conversations for years. Kristin has spent 15 years inside manufacturing and mid-market companies making them possible. As the founder of amplify 3x and creator of The Multiplication Effect, she's worked with more than 1,500 senior leaders on exactly this — because the shift from bottleneck to force multiplier doesn't happen through a framework alone.
It happens when a leader finally hears the thing their team has been afraid to say. Kristin is a graduate of Heroic Public Speaking and is based in Lafayette, Indiana, just outside Indianapolis.
The keynotes
01 / The Multiplication Effect
[Featured]
Your team knows
the strategy.
So why aren't
they executing it?
Most leaders are frustrated that clear strategy isn't delivering the results they expect. The problem isn't the strategy—it's the assumption that logic alone drives execution. Emotion does.
Kristin Stapleton has spent 15 years inside manufacturing and mid-market companies building a framework around what the highest-impact leaders do differently: they help people feel seen, heard, and valued—transforming from the person responsible for all the results into the one who multiplies them through everyone else.
