Speaking

“It’s one thing to be have a powerful insight, and it’s another to be able to communicate it—and this is Krishna’s strength. With the mind of an engineer and the heart of an entrepreneur, he’s a fascinating speaker, one of the rare few who can lay bare the complexities and behaviors of the human mind, and explain why we do what we do. Then he’ll show you how to pair actions with insights so that you don’t just come away knowing what your problem is, but change how you see it and solve it for yourself.” — Terri Trespicio

“Krishna has many amazing gifts. His ability to captivate and empower his audience is astonishing! He is very sincere and realistic when he speaks to a large crowd or a one on one conversation. It is such an honor to personally know this fine gentleman. I strongly recommend Krishna for his specialized work.” — Daniel Martinez

““When EF Hutton speaks, people listen.” Krishna is my EF Hutton, and I suspect that he serves in the same way for many people. Spending a day with him is often not enough, and yet your concern for this gentle and giving soul makes you know that he must be shared with the world, and therefore, you recognize that the time you spend is precious and not to be used selfishly. Anyone in Krishna’s presence comes away better than they were when they started.” — Harvey Young

Keynote Talks
You got IQ. What about JQ? Exercising Judgment in the Heat of the Moment
Leaders need to exercise wise and sound judgment during challenging times—this can be made exponentially harder when underestimating the influence of hidden forces that can impact our choices. Every single day we have a mind-boggling number of opportunities to demonstrate our power to choose. However, in these moments we are not always exercising our judgment effectively or consciously. This keynote highlights the importance of being strategic and not reacting hastily to crisis without considering the broader landscape and long-term consequences of our actions.
This keynote/vnote will help you:
- Stay hyper-focused while keeping an eye on the big picture
- Avoid analysis paralysis and take action
- Integrate perspectives to avoid blind spots
- Be less impulsive and more conscious
Being Consciously Effective: A Practical Crisis Response Regimen
Economic pressures, fierce competition, and a global pandemic have heightened the need to respond quickly leading to hasty ill-conceived decisions with devastating long-term consequences. We let our biases, beliefs, and assumptions rule our thinking and tend to confuse correlation with causation. In this talk, Krishna provides the space to reflect and reach the highest level of decision-making where you can integrate instinct, intellect, insight, and intuition to operate in “the zone.” He will also share his Crisis Response Regimen that can be applied to any challenging situation.
Takeaways:
- Managing your attention and tunnel-vision
- Ways to address and avoid burnout
- Overcoming incessant thinking to give your mind a break
- Manage impulsivity and develop a conscious response
Make Foresight 20/20: Improve your JQ
We simply cannot afford to rely solely on the old school of trial and error or experience-based learning in our fast-paced global environment. We have to seek out methods to accelerate our learning—reducing the time to insights and converting insights into effective actions. We also have to reduce the gap between our intentions and behaviors. In this interactive keynote, Krishna deconstructs one of life's most overlooked and vital skills: the ability to exercise conscious judgment and make values-based choices at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
Takeaways:
- Becoming more aware of beliefs and conditioned habits
- Realizing the impact of impulsive behavior
- Measuring performance in each Life Space
- Illuminating the invisible drivers of influence
BIG DECISIONS | Small Choices: Taking Effective Action
Making wise choices, no matter how small, and exercising good judgment is the foundation for a productive and fulfilled life. What people don’t realize is that it’s the quality of their day-to-day small choices that cause their problems. People tend to get overwhelmed either by analysis paralysis or a deluge of information, leading to inaction when they are supposed to take action. In this talk, Krishna brings to light the hidden forces that drive our impulsive choices—the kind that ultimately affect our overall level of success and happiness.
You will learn how:
- Small choices have a much larger impact on your life
- Smart people make dumb choices
- To avoid the mirage of the star performer
- To prevent big decisions from consuming our minds
2 Days at a Time: Taking Charge of your Life
“One Day at a Time” is a slogan most of us are familiar with. It’s not a bad maxim, but it has a pitfall that can lead us to think and act like there’s no tomorrow. Living “Two days at a time” overcomes this pitfall, and makes you keenly aware not to do anything that could jeopardize your tomorrow. In this presentation, Krishna will share a proven strategy to improve your quality of life—work, relationships, and self—in less than 60 days by reflecting for just two minutes a day.
The keynote will:
- Provide a simple tool for self-reflection
- Generate insights from their own daily experiences

- Recognize the impact of a meager 1% daily improvement
