What People Are Saying
“Kristin listens deeply to your needs and goals then supports you, as the leader, to create a plan that will take you step-by-step toward meeting your goals and addressing your needs. Kristin shifts gears to meet you where you are and ensure forward progress. Kristin is a joy to work with and makes you feel that she is as invested in your success as you are.”

“Kristin's partnership as a coach was critical to a life transition. She positioned me to define my own next steps and held me accountable to action and aspirations I would have been afraid of on my own. Unlike mentors and coaches I have worked with in the past, she trusted me to be the expert and empowered me to set more ambitious goal than I think someone else would have named for me. As a result, I made a significant career transition and climbed several ladder rungs in a way I dreamed of, but wasn't sure was possible. She is skilled, masterful, and inspiring at what she does.”
— Amy R., Marketing and Communications Director
“The [introduction to empathy workshop] was an excellent training, one worth having at least once a year. I see how valuable empathy is needed throughout life, both personally and in the workplace. It is most important when volunteering in an organization where you are constantly interacting with people with a variety of life perspectives. I was engaged, had fun, and I really learned a lot. I would sign up to take this again next week!”
— Court Appointed Special Advocate Volunteer, Georgia
“It was learning how empathy could make me more successful at work and that it was powerful that was the real shift for me. I think I always heard empathy as this 'soft skill,' and that didn't resonate. But when [Kristin] explained the science behind it, the way empathy positions you to influence behavior, how it is rooted in power, I could understand how that makes a difference in outcomes. And that matters for a doctor. That matters for my patients and in how I see myself. That is a way of building empathy I haven't encountered before that is compelling for me, and it works.”
— Dr. Kanika Sims, hospitalist
“The greatest strength of this [empathetic leadership] course was learning the numerous was of applying empathy in leadership roles. I learned about empathy, leadership, and myself in ways I never thought of before. I feel like this course should be mandatory for all college students because it teaches us how to connect with people who are different from us, how to lead in ways that are inclusive, and how to really think through why we feel the way we do about different topics. I am hoping they will offer an upper level course for this content to go deeper.”
— Morehouse Business Major, Junior
