About Kristen K.

My mission is to help people and teams achieve peak performance by uncovering and maximizing their untapped potential through greater flexibility and clear outcomes. As an NLP practitioner and certified coach, I help people to become more resourceful by creating change from within. With parents who were on the leading edge when it came to raising a daughter in equality with their sons, I was raised to believe that I could do or be anything – with hard work and commitment. While I initially played DI softball at the University of Virginia (UVA), I finished my UVA career on a tennis scholarship and was team captain in my final year. Competitive sports taught me tenacity, leadership, resiliency, and the power of team. These learnings have been instrumental in my leadership and coaching experience. Colleagues describe me as a quick learner, a transformative leader and coach, a team builder, an achiever committed to excellence, and an orchestrator who knows how to collaborate with others to “get things done” to progress the business. Working for GlaxoSmithKline in L&D, sales, leadership, and operations roles in the US and Globally, I have gained experience in organizational leadership, cross-functional team management, business operations, culture & change management, and system deployment. Through this experience, I have developed exceptional business acumen and operations experience but what I love most is building and leading teams and accelerating others to maximize their impact in a positive and productive environment.
