 HOW IT WORKS

1.

SCHEDULE a Free 30-minute consultation call

We’ll discuss the problem you’re trying to solve in detail and mutually decide if we’re a good fit for coaching.

2.

CREATE A PLAN

We’ll work together to create a plan that helps you achieve your specific, measurable goals by the end of the engagement. Most coaching engagements are made up of one-hour sessions weekly or bi-weekly for 6 months. Depending on the needs of your specific situation, your engagement may also include a WorkPlace Big Five Profile™ assessment, 360 assessment, team coaching, retreat facilitation, relevant resources (e.g. books), and/or follow-up sessions.

START ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS

Each of our coaching sessions will address a short-term goal based on your current needs, and we’ll also track towards your larger goals for the full engagement.

What Clients Are Saying

  • Kristen's empathetic approach and keen understanding of leadership dynamics have made her the perfect partner in tackling some of the toughest challenges I've faced as an executive. She goes above and beyond to understand unique challenges and offers tailored solutions that lead to tangible results. Partnering with Kristen brings a deep understanding of leadership dynamics and a coaching relationship that leaves a lasting impact on your personal and professional journey.

    — Rebecca Yang, VP of Engineering

  • Kristen helped me make the transition into thinking more deeply and developing strategies to engage staff in quality learning and conversations. I was able to put into place these changes, a safety net to hold myself accountable, and provide a safe space for staff to thoroughly share their thoughts and ideas while making valuable decisions. Kristen was very personable and the sessions were directly related to my interests and needs.

    —Karla Mancini, Community Programs Director

  • Kristen is a great coach. She coached me over several sessions and helped me work through several issues that were causing me difficulty. These are two examples: (1) she helped me develop a plan to navigate a difficult founder conflict scenario, and (2) she helped me prepare for a stressful offsite facilitation. Kristen does a great job of asking really smart questions that help me think about my problems in new ways. She brings thoughtfulness and insight to her coaching practice. I highly recommend working with her.

    —Dave Schappel, Startup Advisor and Investor

  • Kristen’s exercises and discussions were eye-opening and refocused me on the “Why” I spend my time in certain ways, not just on the “How." Her gentle questioning also led me to identify practices to prioritize and be more effective with my time (which I am still using today). She’s also full of nuggets of wisdom and has a very calming presence.

    —Theresa Dykoschak, Attorney
