Resources

On this page, you'll find a variety of resources that may be useful to you as you consider working with a coach, as well as some tools and resources I generally find helpful whether you're considering coaching or not. I regularly update this page as I discover new resources that you may find valuable. Please let me know if there are resources you'd like to see added, or if you find something compelling that I can share here with others!

Testimonial

Kristi is an extraordinarily compassionate and patient person.  I went into our first session feeling overwhelmed with life.  I knew my priorities didn't match with what I found myself doing each day, but I felt helpless to be able to change them. Upon meeting with Kristi, I felt immediately connected and comfortable when discussing my situation. Kristi asked powerful questions that both helped her really understand me as well as allowed me to better understand myself as well. I left feeling empowered and having direction in my life again. Kristi is truly remarkable at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone!
