Ready for a new sustainable path forward?

Let’s RISE to meet it.

The RISE Program

Re-center, Inspire, Sustain, Evolve

For professionals struggling to stay resilient, creative, communicative, motivated and connected.

In tumultuous times, you’re navigating new pressures with fewer resources. You can’t control the uncertainty, but you can fortify yourself in new ways, communicate with greater calm and learn to shift from firefighting to empowered focus.

The RISE program changes how you communicate, work and what you bring.

Who is this for?

  • Senior or Mid-level Leaders

  • Team or Project Leads

  • Driven and impact-oriented

  • Growth-minded

Coaching is a collaborative partnership. We clarify your goals and priorities and introduce new tools and practices that expedite your growth. The goal isn’t to talk endlessly — it’s to get focused, clear and grounded enough to take meaningful action. Together, we sidestep overwhelm and paralysis to realize new results.

Under the RISE framework, clients report feeling greater calm, less self-doubt, and more energy. They’re empowered to communicate, set limits and lead from a new center. One that’s sustaining.

You may be experiencing:

  • Burnout

  • Overwhelm

  • Self-doubt and low confidence

  • Feeling trapped or discouraged

  • Stuck in a career plateau

“I partnered with Kristin during a time when I felt ready for change but was exhausted and doubting myself. Through our sessions and exercises, I reconnected with the strengths I had stopped seeing in myself. Our work clarified patterns and beliefs that had been holding me back. Today I have greater confidence and a renewed sense of direction and possibility. I’m grateful for the guidance and insight that helped me get here.”

Today I feel empowered and more clear about what is important and able to make decisions based on careful consideration of all of my options.”

“Coaching with Kristin is the best thing I have invested in for myself. Within a year I opened doors to a tenure-track position, multiple job talks, and pulled together a multidisciplinary team for my dream research. Most importantly, I reconnected with many friends who are now partnering with me for research, support, and life fulfillment.”
