The Leap from Corporate Leadership to Purpose
Kristy Kuhl joins Oui Talk Raw for a conversation about ambition, fulfillment, and what happens when you’ve achieved success but still feel called toward something more.
After a 15-year career leading disruptive technologies in the medical device industry, Kristy made a bold decision to leave corporate leadership behind and build a business centered around helping others unlock their potential.
Today she works with executives, founders, entrepreneurs, and high performers who are seeking greater clarity, alignment, and momentum in their lives and leadership.
In this episode, Terry Hudson explores the tension between achievement and fulfillment, the role identity plays in personal growth, and how people can create lives that feel successful on their own terms.
Helping High Performers Unlock Their Next Level
Kristy Kuhl
Kristy Kuhl is a high performance coach, strategic advisor, speaker, and host of the Keep Rising with Kristy Kuhl podcast. She is widely recognized for her ability to help ambitious leaders unlock levels of potential, clarity, and momentum they have not yet been able to access on their own.
Kristy began her career in the highly competitive medical device industry, where she spent 15 years leading the launch of multiple disruptive technologies and building a reputation for elite execution and rapid advancement in environments dominated by high stakes performance. While she achieved significant success in corporate leadership, she reached a moment where she questioned whether the path she was on truly reflected who she wanted to become.
In a move that surprised many around her, Kristy stepped away from a high profile, high income corporate career to pursue work fully aligned with her purpose. That decision became the foundation for the work she does today.
Kristy now works with executives, founders, entrepreneurs, and high achieving professionals who sense another level of expansion is available in their lives and leadership. Many of her clients have already achieved significant success and are looking for a way to move forward with greater clarity, precision, and alignment.
Her approach blends high performance strategy, neuroscience, identity work, and operational thinking. Clients often describe her presence as magnetic and her ability to identify unseen patterns and opportunities as rare. Kristy helps people remove friction, access deeper confidence, and create environments that allow them to operate at their highest level.
At the center of her work is a belief that the next level of someone’s life and leadership becomes possible when they give themselves permission to be fully who they are while aligning how they live and operate with what matters most.
Kristy delivers this work through private advisory relationships, executive coaching, speaking engagements, corporate programs, and her transformational framework, UNLEASHED. She is also the founder of the Success Unleashed Summit, an event designed to help entrepreneurs and high performers elevate their mindset, gain clarity, and build momentum for their next chapter.
Through every platform she touches, Kristy’s mission remains consistent: to help people see themselves and their potential in a new way so they can step forward with confidence, alignment, and unstoppable momentum.
