“After leaving my last role, I knew what I wanted next but had no idea how to start. Feeling tired, overwhelmed and isolated as an expat, I felt stuck.
Kristy became the activation energy I needed. Her infectious enthusiasm and strong, make-it-happen attitude were exactly what I needed.
Kristy helped me define clear, achievable goals, giving me a renewed sense of direction. We then mapped out a step-by-step plan to reach those goals, making the journey feel manageable. Her guidance transformed my block into clarity and boosted my sense of possibility.
With Kristy's support, I now feel a sense of clarity and purpose that I very much needed. Her expertise and energy were instrumental in helping me navigate this transition and set a clear path for my future."

“Before I started coaching with Kristy I was indecisive about what I want for my career and life.
I had so many ideas, so many dreams, but I couldn’t make a decision which made me feel stuck. After coaching with Kristy I was finally able to make a decision, I know where I’m going and I have plan for my future career and life. I feel that now everything is aligned with what I want.
I’m an expat in a foreign country and not only did Kristy help me find out what I want in my career, I also gained a lot of insights into who I am. Kristy also helped me to be more positive about a lot of things through working on my mindset.
She has a lot of world knowledge and comes up with many ideas and options which really helped me a lot in my own decision making process.
I loved coaching with Kristy and I didn’t want it to stop.
Therefore we will continue our coaching sessions with a new set of goals.”

“Before working with Kristy I had so many projects and ideas, that it caused me to be unclear about what I really wanted in my career.
Through coaching with Kristy I discovered what mattered to me most and what I should focus on.
Kristy helped me clear my head, motivated me to take that important first step forward knowing that I CAN do it, and that I am worth the success of starting my own business.
Kristy helped me discover what is most important to me regarding my work-life balance, and to recognize when I’m trying to live up to other people’s expectations of me and not setting clear boundaries.
I needed to get that push and self-esteem to get out of my own head in order to see what I really want in my career, to uderstand myself and to follow my own heart.
I experienced Kristy’s coaching as very positive and motivating.
Investing in coaching is something everyone should do to get motivated and a clear view of the road ahead in your career.
Kristy is absolutely lovely to speak with! She makes it both comfortable and creates an environment of trust which makes it so easy to open up to her.”

“During my coaching sessions with Kristy, I discovered that change in behavior and feelings is possible. If you believe in your new beliefs, it can consciously affect you positively.

Kristy is pleasant as a coach, together we discussed which goals I want to achieve
and how I’m going to accomplish this. The action points that I worked on allowed me to reach and achieve my goals.
Kristy is a good listener and comes up with good ideas.”

"I am delighted to express my utmost satisfaction with Kristy as a coach. Her 3 month 1:1 coaching program was a transformative experience, offering a holistic approach that integrated the balance between my career, family life, and mental well-being.
A significant advantage of the program was its ability to bring clarity to my decision-making process. Kristy guided me in pinpointing my needs and wants, assisting me in filtering through various career options and narrowing down my choices. Her expertise was vital in setting clear, achievable goals, both for the present and the future.
What truly set Kristy apart was her commitment to my success. She provided the extra push I needed, consistently checking in on my progress and helping me transform my goals from abstract ideas to concrete, actionable steps within the 3 months.
Throughout the program, Kristy equipped me with essential tools, including career-changing and self-searching exercises, professional and spiritual contacts, and supporting materials such as captivating books and meditation lessons—all tailored to my personal needs.
Kristy's coaching program was comprehensive, addressing not only my professional goals but also exploring my personal aspirations. Through a series of enlightening yet fun exercises and prioritization techniques, I gained invaluable insights into my needs as a working mom regarding commuting, working hours, working conditions, and salary requirements. The program didn't just focus on immediate needs and wants; it took a strategic approach, considering both short-term decisions and long-term visions for my future and my family.
Kristy's coaching transformed my approach, enabling me to confidently pursue Product Owner or Project Manager roles transitioning from a Director of Sales position. Emphasizing soft skills over formal education, her guidance equips me to communicate my unique strengths effectively to potential employers.
Grateful for Kristy's support, I am excited for this new chapter! I sincerely recommend the 3 month 1:1 program and Kristy to anyone seeking a dedicated and insightful partner in their journey towards professional and personal fulfilment."

I loved that Kristy always started our session with a short meditation, this was a great way for me to get into the right mindset and focus on our session even in the middle of a busy day.
Kristy leads the sessions with a natural tone and keeps it light and enjoyable whilst at the same time helping to set achievable and accountable goals.

"I very much enjoyed coaching with Kristy.
What started in a rather easy exercise resulted in an extraordinary voyage of self-discovery, it provided an illuminating glimpse into my unique set of conscious and unconscious competencies.
It was a window into aspects of myself that I had not fully recognized or appreciated before.
The accuracy of the results was remarkable, the scan revealed a true reflection of who I am and I`m eager to explore the opportunities to grow further with the expertise of Kristy.
I highly recommend this extensive competency scan to anyone seeking a truly eye-opening experience that uncovers their true capabilities."

"Thanks to our coaching session and our thorough conversation, I gained valuable insight into the things that contributed to the development of my patterns and beliefs.
I found it interesting and at the same time confronting to see and hear that I have developed skills that do not naturally suit me.
It is also an eye opener to know which natural strengths I have and which natural talents I can still develop.
If I had known this earlier, I would have made different choices in the past.
I'm grateful for this valuable information and that I now can start to develop my natural strengths that I didn't know I had."
IRMA VAN OS

"I was in this crossroad and new phase of my life where I felt I needed some guidance again. Lot of things changed in the past years.
Mainly becoming a mom for the second time and really starting my own family, made me live more in the now and my focus really shifted on them these years. Which is fine and necessary with small kids, but I also started to miss a future goal and plan to what I now want - instead of what my kids and family need.
The coaching session with Kristy really gave me valuable insights again. It showed me what I was already doing well, but mainly where I can still grow. It also showed me some things that I was feeling deep down was the right way, but what never really outed itself in my life. It never seemed like a natural choice for me.
Now I know that I SHOULD pursue this direction after all. Kristy also took her time with me to really explain and coach me on this topic. Very grateful for that. Thank you for helping me getting some direction back, Kristy! Really happy with the outcome!"
