Let’s recalibrate — and lead differently
So your efforts, impact and energy are sustained.
I’m Dr. Kristin.
I know the challenges facing leaders — because I’ve been there.
Before launching my firm, I was a mission-driven leader overseeing $5m+ in programs that served thousands of young adults and families.
Then a massive disruption forced a change. Overnight our team was reduced by 75%. But the same workload and demands persisted.
I struggled to elevate and lead. Old ways of adapting were falling short. Work came home with me. My personal relationships and health suffered. I couldn’t seem to get ahead.
Turnover cascaded across our organization and softened morale. Disengagement was high.
We needed a different way of working and engaging as leaders. Not just strategies, but practices we could sustain.
The RISE framework is born of my 20+ yrs of experience in communications and research and hundreds of hours coaching leaders and professionals through tough seasons. I’ve seen patterns that hold the best leaders back. They stymie your impact and that of the people you lead.
Change happens. How we meet it matters.
If you’re a leader who can’t seem to get traction, who’s straining to stay clear-eyed and communicative amid growing stress and disconnection, you’re not alone.
It’s time to adopt a new way of leading. One that’s sustainable.
It’s time to RISE.
How I Work
Integrity, science-based solutions and a commitment to excellence are at the core of everything I do. Here’s what else you can expect.
Curiosity
Questions drive our work. Whether it’s a coaching engagement, training or talk, every collaboration begins with a conversation to clarify your priorities, needs and unique perspective.
Confidentiality
Effective coaching and collaboration rely on trust. I’m committed to creating spaces of safety that allow for sharing and reflection. Every coaching engagement is private and confidential.
Non-judgmental
Powerful coaching happens when clients can reflect freely. I’m practiced at cultivating spaces absent of judgment and agendas so you can better hear your own inner wisdom.
Who I Work With
Mid-career professionals who feel stuck, frustrated and ready for new growth
Leaders who want sustainable approaches for leading in uncertainty
Department leaders, HR directors, event or conference planners
My Approach
Recalibrate | Ignite | Sustain | Elevate
I guide you to approach work differently – with fortified focus, new communication and resilience practices and calm. Instead of cycling burnout, we build a level path. A way forward that honors you and all sides of your life.
Every engagement relies upon:
Psychology & Neuroscience: What’s studied and proven about motivation, focus, resilience, and the brain.
Behavior Science: Default actions and how we learn to respond differently.
Communications: How we listen, speak, negotiate and guide.
Inner wisdom: Drawing from values, “inner compass” and long-term vision.
A better way to lead is waiting – let’s meet it.
If you’re feeling depleted, disconnected and unclear, don’t stay spinning.
Let’s connect and build a plan that honors your experience, uses actionable practices to move you into a new season of leadership that’s sustainable and rewarding.
