ABOUT ME

Certified Executive Coach, Leadership Consultant, Yogi & Mom

Hi, I'm Kristen.  I am a leader, coach, and guide.  I've always been a connector, favoring rich conversations and truly getting to know people.  I have an innate ability to see the good in others, to call forth their greatness and inspire them into action towards the life of their dreams.  

I am wildly committed to this work and my clients.  It's a true honor to witness their truth, vulnerability, courage, growth, and successes as they commit and take action towards what matters most to them, in their career and lives.  

Whether working 1:1 or with groups and teams, I lead with compassion, honesty, and respect.  I bring years of experience and expertise as a certified coach and former corporate leader to support individuals, teams, and organizations expand, grow, and thrive.  

I look forward to the possibility of partnering with you on the journey of courageous growth!
