##### *"Kristen’s coaching was invaluable to me. She knew when to empathetically listen and when to kindly challenge me to think about things differently. I really appreciated her ability to both troubleshoot specific tactical situations in my day-to-day work as well as to help me think about what I wanted out of my career holistically. Kristen helped me grow enormously both personally and professionally."* *— Lara Yu, Manager, Machine Learning and Analytics, Google*

##### *"Kristen is an incredible listener and asks deeply perceptive questions. She is also great about homework and seems to have an exercise and worksheet for every issue we uncover that needs work. Finally, Kristen exudes trust and care. I highly recommend Kristen as a coach."* *— Karson Kovakovich, PhD, Former VP of Sales & Operations, Wiley*
