About Kristi De Paul
I’m at home in the Middle East and also in the Pacific Northwest. I am an immigrant, a company founder, a mother, a language learner, a wife, a journalist, a joke-teller, and the daughter of parents who left this world far too soon. My life has taken a series of (at times unexpected) twists and turns—some of which have led down wonderful detours. Traveling through 50+ countries has taught me much about our planet, but a whole lot more about people: the deep bonds we share across superficial lines, the lives we aim to lead, and the stories we tell to hold memories close. My mission is simple: I empower others to live the life they’ve envisioned. My work has centered on access, rallying global communities around life-changing education and novel technologies. Location independence has enabled me to collaborate with clients on meaningful marketing projects across five continents. Audiences in the U.S., England, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and others around the world have watched my keynote speeches, workshops and presentations both in-person and online. My team and I help organizations focused on the future of learning and work to better define their own inherent value and to more effectively tell their stories—not just to convert, but to inspire, motivate and empower. Our specialties include editorial strategy, blog management, article ghostwriting, social media campaigns, longform collateral, website and presentation design, executive branding and thought leadership efforts.
