In 2020 Kristyn was featured in the CEO Magazine for designing a leadership program to guide managers through the new ways of working that COVID-19 presented.

Coaching Approach
Kristyn has supported thousands of leaders to navigate the tension between fear-based and purpose-led decision-making, connect them deeply with their values and gently guide leaders to lessen their reactions to stressful situations so they show up with courage, compassion, and authenticity. In 2019 Kristyn joined 100 academics from across the US to learn from Dr. Mary Gentile on her ground-breaking research, ‘Giving Voice to Values’. Importantly, Kristyn holds a gentle, non-judgemental space for you to let down your guard and simply be you. The many parts of your personality are welcome in the coaching room. It’s a place to simply ‘be’ and ‘grow’ if you choose to.
