Get to Know Me as a Coach

Why I Became a Coach

I'm passionate about helping international school leaders, teachers, staff, and parents use the tools and principles of positive psychology coaching to develop community-wide wellbeing, energy, engagement, and teamwork while teaching, mentoring, and raising our next generation of change-makers. I've seen firsthand how positive psychology coaching transforms lives, teams, families, and schools - empowering and equipping each person to fulfill their unique, meaningful, and positive purpose in the world...and I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible do exactly that.

What to Expect from Me as a Coach

Clients describe me as warm, non-judgmental, and able to evoke useful stretches in perspective. I help clients understand their strengths and the impact of how they use them (on themselves and others). I have a deep trust in my clients’ abilities to identify what matters most to them and find meaningful ways to continue working toward their preferred future state. I am honored to share in their journeys as a trusted thinking partner.

"Working with Kristin transformed my approach to my school leadership journey. I am now able to fully articulate my leadership strengths while focusing on opportunities that align with those strengths.

In each session, I felt seen and heard because every conversation was tailored to exactly what I needed.

Anyone working with Kristin will undoubtedly benefit."

"As a Head of School, those spaces for personal exploration, reflection, and authenticity are rare. Each coaching session became something I genuinely looked forward to.

In this space, I was able to be more honest and vulnerable than I have ever been outside of my own family. From the very beginning, Kristin created an environment of trust, safety, and deep respect. I felt wholly seen and valued, not in spite of these traits, but because of them.

Kristin’s calm presence and thoughtful questions gave me room to think aloud, something that aligns with one of my strengths as a narrator and reflective thinker. Even when I felt I was being long-winded or uncertain, she never rushed or redirected me.

Her patience, encouragement, and affirmation allowed me to keep going and, in doing so, arrive at insights and solutions I may never have uncovered otherwise. She helped me reconnect with my own wisdom and gave me the confidence to recognize and visualize my true potential.

This experience was a true gift, one that not only supported me professionally but reminded me of the deep joy and value in being coached with care, presence, and trust.

Thank you, Kristin. You have an amazing gift for coaching and I thank you so much for sharing it with me."

"Kristin was so supportive and always kept the optimism front and centre in the conversation. I walked away with the tools and framework to adequately understand my job search preferences. I look forward to working with her again!

I would highly recommend working with Kristin as she is so good at framing the discussion and supporting the needs of the person in front of her - adjusting to the needs as appropriate."

Cindy Beals, Academic Vice Principal
Kodaikanal International School

"I’ve gained a lot of valuable insights! To begin with, the strengths profile provided a great starting point and framework for our conversations. I have gained more clarity about what I need to have in place to support others best and bring my skills to bear. Through my sessions, I have learnt practical ways to reframe situations and also made progress digging into some bigger themes.

Thank you for everything you have done for me. Your influence and impact have been so positive, and helped me reflect on myself, how I show up for the department, and in my role on the Board of Management. Having a safe space with you to tease things out has been so important for me, and that's not 'just' having a coach- it's a reflection of your skill and presence.

I absolutely would recommend Kristin to friends and colleagues. She listens intently, asks insightful questions and provides support and guidance. She brings an authentic warmth whilst keeping me accountable and on topic. There have been sessions that left me feeling lighter and others that reminded me of the tools at my disposal."

Elizabeth de Libero, Head of Communications and Admissions
The British School in the Netherlands
