ABOUT Kris

Hi, I’m Kris!

I’M THE FOUNDER OF KRIS RISLEY COACHING, AN EXECUTIVE AND LEADERSHIP COACHING BUSINESS, ESTABLISHED IN 2005 (FULLTIME IN 2021)

My mission is to coach public health professionals who want to achieve their biggest dreams. I care about working with people who want to create the conditions for people to achieve physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

I want to create a community where we can all feel supported in achieving our next steps and wildest dreams for ourselves and others.
