Kris is the most influential mentor I have had throughout my academic and professional career.

She instilled in me the confidence and clarity to achieve my professional goals and “step into” my leadership shoes. Kris’ ability to disentangle the carious challenges that we all face and provide simple solutions in order to find the most fulfilling path is truly remarkable. I am forever grateful for her honest and life-changing advice.”

I’ve always thought that everyone should have an executive coach, but after my experience with Kris, I am now more confident than ever before! When I met Kris initially and outlined the areas that I wanted to focus on, I knew immediately that this was going to be a great experience. Kris is very professional and personable, is an active listener, helps you develop and find your own answers and solutions, keeps you on-point, and holds you accountable based on what you’ve outlined as your focus areas. Kris has a ton of tools that are very beneficial in the coaching process.

As a result of my experience with Kris, I’ve been able to refine my purpose and vision for the future. I appreciate this so much – Thanks Kris!!”
