Kristen helped me to slow down. I had been rushing, bouncing around, yet felt trapped in a rut. She asked the right questions and really listened to my answers, but perhaps more importantly, helped me to hear the responses and to feel them in my body. My sessions with her showed me habitual behaviors and thoughts, and together, we came up with creative and manageable ways to change what wasn't working for me. I felt happy and optimistic at the end of each session, and the shift in my perspective and thought processes opened me up to new possibilities and, more specifically, to the arrival of a new job - one that had my desired characteristics as established during my sessions with her.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
David Daskal, writer & business development executive
There were a few things that really impressed me with Kristen’s coaching. First, she was an extremely attentive and sympathetic listener. Second, she processed all that she heard in truly creative ways. She made connections between experiences, thoughts and ideas of mine that I never would have thought of, and then put these connections into a broader context. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, she worked with me to come up with exercises and practices to squarely address the issues I faced. Kristen’s combination of warmth, intelligence and insight made her a terrific coach for me. I highly recommend her.

I started working with Kristen when I was a graduate student in Finance at the University of Kentucky. The business school did not have any resources that fit with my goals for voice coaching, so I was lucky to connect with Kristen. With her guidance, I improved my speech fluency and my presentation skills, which are critical in my professional life. Kristen helped me to reimagine what I could do with the voice work and ultimately, how it can help me in all the various situations I find myself in when called upon to speak. I am forever indebted to her for what she taught me and the level of success I have gained in the short amount of time we spent together."
