Women in Print Alliance recently hosted its first Quarterly Connect of 2026, an exclusive members-only leadership workshop moderated by Lisbeth Lyons Black, Director of Women in Print Alliance, featuring keynote speaker and leadership coach Kristi Duvall, founder of Kristi Duvall Coaching, LLC and creator of the “SPARK” method.

This session was designed specifically for our women navigating growth, ambiguity, and evolving roles across the printing industry.

Below are just a few mantras that led to powerful conversation and practical insights from Kristi, who shared stories of the highs and lows she’s experienced as a high-performing salesperson with 25 years of experience in the print and packaging industry.

Set a Vision: Clarity isn’t handed down. Rather, it’s created within your scope.

Be Willing to Grow: Your internal state shapes your external leadership.

Build (and Refine) Skills: Executive leadership is steady energy under pressure.

And finally:

Self-trust is the ultimate strategy.

The discussion that ensued was candid, practical, and highly interactive — with members engaging in reflection and real-time application.
