Led by Kristi Atwater, CPA, CIA, CRMA, CISA, ACC
I’ve spent my career navigating complex environments, breaking glass ceilings, and earning a seat at tables where consequential decisions are made. I work with leaders across industries and levels, and I bring particular perspective to supporting women in leadership based on my own experience.
“This webinar truly touched me on a personal level. I was so engaged throughout, and Kristi Atwater was absolutely excellent. I never expected to see such a powerful connection between internal auditing and personal life, but she made it so clear and relatable. Every step an Internal Auditor takes was thoughtfully linked to our own self-reflection and growth. Kristi wasn’t just a speaker—she was an outstanding coach. Thank you for such an inspiring and eye-opening session! GRACIAS KRISTI!”
