"I was very fortunate to have Kristen as a coach - she helped me prioritize areas for self-improvement, importantly, bringing out my 'more organized' self. She was excellent at listening and helping me work through various issues such as incorporating more personal time in my schedule, improving my effectiveness in conducting meetings, and developing a way to deal with different personalities and challenging situations in an empathetic manner. Her coaching style helped me make simple changes that brought impactful results into my professional and personal life."
"Due to a major acquisition, our company has experienced a lot of change. We partnered with Kristen to support our leaders. She provided 1:1 coaching as well as in-person and virtual group training.
Our leaders quickly developed a strong rapport with Kristen, feeling a deep sense of trust in her guidance and comfort in discussing real-life situations. She demonstrated a genuine care for each person's development, treating them as if they were her own employees. Kristen also took the time to listen to the executive team to understand their specific needs.
Kristen's involvement has already had a significant and positive impact on our organization. Her coaching and training have equipped our leaders with the skills and confidence to navigate the changes brought about by a major acquisition. We look forward to the continued benefits of our partnership with Kristen. "

"Kristen Schmitt is an exceptional coach. She helps you draw your own conclusions and deduce the solutions to issues in your business. She keeps you focused on the bigger purpose behind why you do what you do and whether it matters. She helped me eliminate many things that were weighing me and the company down while streamlining processes. Her coaching was incredibly helpful while navigating some tough employee situations and the financial downturn experienced by the real estate industry when the rates increased.
A month after completing our coaching concluded, I still used the tools she provided. Our business has increased and become much more efficient. I credit this largely to Kristen for keeping me centered and supporting my growth. These are her results as much as they are mine. She is worth the investment in your success!
