About Kristen

I'm an energetic, optimistic, creative and results-oriented individual who is insatiably curious and loves connecting with people human-to-human. Watching people soar and experience personal transformation feeds my soul.

For 15+ years, I have helped executives and emerging leaders in hundreds of organizations worldwide achieve extraordinary and sustainable results through increased self-awareness, emotional intelligence and mindfulness.

In addition to being an in-demand speaker and facilitator, I'm also an accredited coach, empowering leaders to become more aware of their strengths, blind spots, values and purpose so they can build lives and organizations of success, health and sustainability. Nothing makes me happier than working with people in a coaching relationship and witnessing the powerful shifts that happen. My personal mission is to help leaders transform from the inside out, creating a meaningful career and purpose-driven life where they reach their full potential.

Through my journey of self-discovery I have developed a high level of intuition, radical candor and empathy which leads to powerful coaching sessions. I'm a compassionate coach who builds trust from a place of authenticity and creates a safe space where clients feel seen, heard and understood.

I'm a graduate of McMaster University, having attained my Honours Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology. I did my coach training and certification through The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and I hold my CPCC and PCC designation through The International Coaching Federation (ICF), considered the “gold standard” in global coaching certification. I'm also a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS).

I host a bi-weekly podcast called Inspirational Leadership where I interview progressive CEOs, strategic HR leaders and forward-thinking experts who share my passion for leadership development and creating positive work cultures.

On a personal note, I'm a big believer in authenticity, inclusivity and conscious leadership. I love spending time with my family and friends, practicing yoga, kickboxing and meditation, exploring new places and using my voice to make a positive impact in the world.
