About Kristin Cappelli-Demarco

I am a problem solver and change agent bringing AI/ML innovation and HR thought leadership helping curate a ”great place to work” culture and the best employee experience.With over 2 decades of total rewards design, change management, communication and consulting experience, I partner with organizations to develop and implement results-based strategies for a wide range of human resources and business issues. My particular passion is to help achieve business goals, drive engagement via inclusion and to attract and retain an organizations\' most important resource, their people.The quotation I live my life by is… “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company.a church.a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past.we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you.we are in charge of our attitudes.” ~Charles Swindoll
