Wife and Death: Book Them Together
Their signature joint keynote. By 35, Will had survived two cancer occurrences and a sudden cardiac arrest. Kristin was there through all of it, including the night she performed ten minutes of CPR to save his life while their children slept in the next room. Together they turned that shared trauma into a platform for a more compassionate, humanity centered healthcare system. Also available as An Evening With the Glaucomfleckens, a turnkey 90 minute theatrical show for plenary sessions and evening events.
Audience takeaways
- The lifesaving impact of bystander CPR in emergency response
- Humor as a coping mechanism and a tool for connection
- What witnessing medical trauma does to co survivors and bystanders
