 What Satisfied Clients Are Saying

I love working with Kristin. She's a great thought leader and was instrumental in helping me deliver my message to both internal and external audiences. She pushed me to be better at what I do. I learned a lot from the work we did together on my presentations - both on stage and video. She was patient while at the same time held me accountable.

It is rare to find an exceptional coach like Kristin. I first hired Kristin as a life coach and was so impressed with her skills that I subsequently hired her as a presentation coach. As a life coach, you will not find someone who can do a better job of helping you illuminate what is holding you back from living the life you dream about. As a presentation coach, she prepared me for a critical presentation to our board of directors which garnered rave reviews from the board and CEO. Her unique talent lies in helping people to authentically communicate – whether with themselves or an external audience.  Her experience as an actor, expertise working with senior executives and formal coaching training are a unique set of skills. People are naturally drawn to Kristin, and I could not be happier with what she has helped me accomplish.

I contacted Kristin because in the 14 years since founding my company I had yet to feel like a leader. I lacked confidence and felt unhappy even though I was working in a field I loved. Kristin helped me level-up to my Founder/CEO role by identifying simple and effective day-to-day changes and by pointing out myriad ways I was already leading. Importantly, she challenged fundamental beliefs that had stunted my growth both at work and in my personal life, then taught me tools to access the confidence to stand in my own power; tools I return to regularly when I find myself in old patterns. She’s educated and skilled to coach on any topic, and her expansive heart and unparalleled listening skills allow her to connect with anyone.

It’s amazing to work with someone who is so passionate about helping others. Not only was she able to expand my current mindset and allow me to view my life from a different perspective, but she also gave me new motivation to do something about my current situation and strive for a better life. Being from a military background, it’s easy for me to take what I’ve been “issued” and feel like I have no power in my own life. But through her life coaching sessions, I have learned to never settle for what I have. Because only I can decide the extent of my own happiness.

When I first starting coaching with Kristin, I noticed right away that she was a natural. She leaves space for you to explore your thoughts, using her instincts to help point out the most important parts. When Kristin is coaching me, I feel she is invested in what I’m saying and is dedicated to helping me find a way to end suffering, a painful thought or explore a new outlook for me going forward. She's the best and I am grateful for our partnership!

My experience with Kristin has been life changing. The sessions we have move me to dig deep, think outside my small box, and realize my potential to grow both personally and professionally. She has a unique way of getting me to see myself differently, to know that deep down I do feel confident, I do have dreams, I do have desires to do something I’ve never done before. After each session, I feel so empowered. She has a unique way of connecting that I cannot explain. I look forward to working with Kristin to find my true self and most importantly, I am HAPPY.

Kristin provided outstanding communications support for me while I was CIO at Sun Microsystems. She helped to transform my monthly CIO Newsletter into a highly-valued marketing and sales tool for the company. Translated into more than 12 languages, and published to over a million subscribers, it focused on technical and leadership topics that were relevant to the industry and our customers. Her passion for the work, her collaborative work ethic and her eloquent writing style gave Inner Circle a tone unique in the industry. Customers worldwide regularly commented on the value they derived from our newsletter and I owe much of that to Kristin for her dedication to proper due diligence and research, and her professionalism through to publication. She was a joy to work with.

Kristin - I got so much from your coaching, not the least of which was your suggestion that I “stop doing things I hate.” Wow. It sounds so simple but it has turned into such an important guiding principle for my life. You rock! You made a big difference in my life.”

C.B., vice president, technology sector

In a fast-paced, dynamic environment, Kristin was a constant, calm and strategic partner. She supported the president of Adobe's Americas organization, and did so with a great deal of comfort and competency. She crafted a compelling narrative focused on strong storytelling, and was at ease providing feedback and coaching that upped his game and delivered strong results.
