"Thank you again for your coaching session with the leadership team yesterday. Every individual in the room is able to perform their duties in a remote scenario. I am a huge fan of human interaction and being able to read facial expression and body language. It is important to have in person interaction with your team and coworkers. This team building coaching came at a perfect time. You brought in a new perspective that allowed us to look at ourselves in a mirror, as well other with work and interact with. You have a unique approach that I liked. Nobody felt shamed or embarrassed of their type. So many times you hear its bad to be a “Type A” or “Type D” personality or etc. I saw it was alright to be a type person, but also to be sure to understand what others are and have a more diplomatic approach. The round table discussions also showed the importance to communicate to others how certain phrases or actions can impact the team dynamic. Again, this is why being face to face and not remote is so important to be able to read people and see what you do or say impacts them.
Lastly, I am a huge fan of your speaking style. You did not come across as clinical nor over analytical. You were very relatable and phrased things in a manner that were easy to comprehend.." - Laurens Pitts, VP of Technology, Salsarita's

Her coaching abilities combined with her knowledge of organizations and talent development really drive organizational effectiveness." - Managing Director / VP - Human Resources
"Kristy has been my mentor for the past several months and has been absolutely fantastic. She is kind and understanding, but also straightforward. I appreciate how she would ask questions to get me thinking about what I really want out of a job. I have always struggled figuring out what exactly I want to do with my career, so having Kristy to discuss this with has been incredibly helpful. I would recommend Kristy as a mentor to anyone, especially if that person feels so lost that they aren't sure a mentor can help. The right mentor definitely can help! " - Manager, Sales Operations
