About Kristen Kafka
I’m Kristen. I\'m here to make your life better.Your parents may have taught you to, “leave every place better than you found it.” They probably meant throw away your trash and pick your dirty socks up off the floor. But I see it as a lifelong goal to effect positive change. That\'s why I love Industrial-Organizational Psychology. I/O Psych applies psychological principles and research to the workplace, with the intent of making it better. Many of us dedicate a large portion of our lives to work – why not make that time more enjoyable? More productive? More profitable? More impactful? My passion is helping you achieve exactly that.Let\'s go improve some lives.
