Let’s Get Started!

I’m passionate about helping people realize the qualities they possess that make them a unique leader AND expressing this leadership in positions that light them up.

Over time, I’ve fine-tuned my skills as an Executive and Leadership Coach. I am dedicated to applying these skills with those who seek the support of a coach to help them create the joy-filled lives they desire.

1-1 EXECUTIVE & LEADERSHIP COACHING:

  • STRATEGIC THOUGHT PARTNERSHIP WITH SENIOR LEADERS
  • CAREER TRANSITIONS FOR EARLY AND MID-CAREER PROFESSIONALS
  • CAREER TRANSITIONS FOR PEOPLE PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT
  • LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
  • IDENTIFICATION OF PURPOSE, VISION, MISSION, AND VALUES
  • PARTNERING WITH ORGANIZATIONS TO UTILIZE COACHING AS A TOOL TO RECRUIT, ENGAGE, AND RETAIN STAFF
  • SHIFTING MINDSETS (E.G., FROM: WORK IS LIFE TO: I HAVE A FULFILLING LIFE AND WORK IS ONE COMPONENT OF MY LIFE)

GROUP EXECUTIVE & LEADERSHIP COACHING:

  • BUILD RELATIONSHIPS FROM A PLACE OF STRENGTHS
  • WORK THROUGH TOUGH CHALLENGES
  • SERVE AS THOUGHT PARTNERS FOR ONE ANOTHER
  • INCREASE SELF-AWARENESS
  • BUILD CONFIDENCE
  • APPLY LEADERSHIP SKILLS
  • STAY ON TRACK
  • ACHIEVE DESIRED PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL OUTCOMES

* A GROUP MAY INCLUDE A COHORT OF STUDENTS, WORK TEAMS, OR AN UNRELATED GROUP OF PEOPLE GOING THROUGH A SHARED EXPERIENCE.

Have you ever thought you wanted to go in one direction and then realized you were off course? I experienced that over a year and a half coaching journey with Kris. As a result of her coaching and my hard work, I transformed and continue to grow. I let go, I am following my life’s purpose, and I am living a fulfilled authentic life! As a result I am happier than I have ever been because I am present..

I benefited greatly from my from my coaching with Kris on a personal as well as professional level. I had completed a few leadership trainings before, but Kris’ approach to personal leadership was different. She diffused my initial incredulity by showing much understanding and almost palpable care. I opened up and she gently channeled me to look deep inside, find myself and lead from my strengths.

As a result of her coaching I took the b old step of applying for a job that was better aligned with my passion (women and children’s health) even though it was a big risk. Because of the coaching I have a clearer view of who I am and where my values really lie. Thank you, Kris.”

HI THERE, I’M Kris Risley

My goal is to help people learn and grow. I want you to get clear about the work and life that lights you up so that you feel free, alive, content, peaceful, joyful, and accomplished. I want you to engage in work you love, in a life that is joyful, and in a world that you positively impact.

Most importantly, I want you to have what I needed when I started on this journey and that is to feel seen and supported as you pave your unique path in the world.

Join me in reaching for the next phase of your life!
