Leaders have an outsized impact on the health of any organization.

Leadership Coaching

Designed for leaders who have a specific need or situation to work through, Kristen’s “quick hit” coaching package helps leaders find quick(er) solutions, implement agile change(s), and swiftly make an impact. It’s a combination of coaching and training, with assorted readings, models, and videos to help drive home the point.
Typically 6 weeks @ 1 session per week
Designed for leaders who are ready to make changes in their leadership style or dive deeper into personal and professional experiences, Kristen’s Behavior Change Coaching program uses the Enneagram to deepen self-awareness and make sense of their behaviors in the context of work. The power of changing behaviors lies in the opportunities to understand our impact, experiment with new actions, and build new, healthier habits.
Typically 6 months @ 2-3 sessions per month
Designed for a small cohort of leaders (3-5 people in a group), Kristen’s group coaching services help grow trust amongst a small group, increase independence and interdependence so leaders can begin helping each other, and most importantly creates an environment of shared accountability and shared learning.
Typically 3 months @ 2-3 sessions per month

A 6-week intensive to get leaders upskilled and upleveled.

This program uses the Enneagram to help leaders understand their personal styles and how they impact others. The value of this assessment is NOT identifying a number or a color or an animal ... but rather to unearth motivations, preferences, and behaviors, to better learn how to adjust those things to maximize leadership effectiveness.
The research is clear that training alone is less effective in producing behavior change than training paired with coaching. The coaching component helps the leader integrate their learnings, apply them, and find a safe space to explore their personal limitations or fears. It is also a place where leaders can truly understand the impact of their behaviors - good and bad. This program includes ongoing 1:1 coaching to help each individual leader find their most effective leadership approach.
While a one-time session can certainly add to a leader’s toolbox, their ability to implement what they learned goes down exponentially over time. That "forgetting curve" is a troubling reality, making this bootcamp a better investment in a leader’s growth.
The program includes 5 half-day sessions over 5 weeks, which gives leaders time to reflect, try, practice, fail, succeed, and collect experiences to learn from.
The topics will vary based on leadership needs, but typically include the most imperative skills like emotional intelligence, coaching, feedback, hard conversations, and motivation.

Example situations where the Leader Feedback process has been used:

The Board of a non-profit had only one main conduit to understand the ins and outs of the organization: the Executive Director. But with rumblings from the staff about the ED’s performance and impact, they were not sure they could or should trust the information they were receiving. Kristen came in and helped put together a more cohesive and comprehensive picture of what was happening inside the organization, particularly on the ED’s performance metrics, the trust amongst staff, and other myriad staff issues related to the ED. She presented to the board AND delivered the tough feedback to the Director, enabling more honest communication and measurement of her effectiveness.
A divisional leadership team was struggling to coalesce behind its leader, causing factions and splinters throughout their individual teams. Kristen deployed her process and was able to identify three key leadership behaviors that the team leader was lacking, and helped him develop those skills to bring the team together more effectively.
