COACHING
Experience Meaningful Growth and Change
At KB Collaborations, our experience has shown us that growth is rarely linear. People tend to experience learning in ups and downs, stuck points and confusion, exhilarations and frustrations. Often clients come to coaching with a sense that something needs to change but they’re not quite sure how to get there. Utilizing our background in adult development and applied behavioral science, we are able to expertly and quickly get to the essence of what needs to change, creating clarity and focus. Together, we’ll develop a roadmap with actionable, doable steps that challenge you to learn new skills and build increased self-capacity.

Radical Results.
“Kristen is a fantastic Leadership Coach! Before I started working with Kristen, I had a lot of reservations about leadership coaching. I wasn’t clear at first on what leadership coaching was, or how it could support my work. Kristen was incredibly transparent and flexible in helping me define how leadership coaching could support my work. She has supported me from the beginning of my leadership journey. She guided me in growing into and putting words to my unique leadership style. She has supported me in showing up at work the way I want: reflectively, authentically, and with a growth mindset. She is able to provide me with tangible tools and skills as well as reflective space. I have recommended her to other staff at my agency, and would highly recommend her to any folks looking to develop their own professional skills.”
Leadership Coaching
Lead with Purpose.
The data is in: Leadership is not an inherent trait that some people are born with, nor is it defined by your role or where you sit in the company org chart. Anyone can be a leader regardless of their personality, role, or position. And the most effective leaders we’ve coached demonstrate strong self-awareness, an investment in continuous learning, and a willingness to change. Because a leader’s actions can significantly ripple out and affect others, working towards the healthiest version of yourself can have an enormous positive impact. At KB Collaborations, our leadership coaching approach is rooted in this ethos.
Every leader has a unique constellation of strengths as well as less developed capabilities that make up their leadership style. Our approach focuses first on understanding and aligning with your values, getting a sense of your ideal self as a leader. Using your values as our foundation, the next step is to identify your development goals and determine how to reach those goals by leveraging your existing strengths while building capacity in underdeveloped areas.
The Change You’ll Feel:
Understand your leadership style: Leadership isn't a one-size-fits-all thing. We'll help you figure out your unique style and how to make it work for you and your team.
Grow self-awareness: You'll get to know yourself as we dig deep into your inner programming - what makes you tick, your strengths, your areas that need a bit of work, and what drives you.
Improve communication: We'll work on your communication skills, enhancing your ability to communicate with clarity, handle conflict, and deliver effective feedback.
Strengthen emotional agility: We’ll work on increasing your ability to regulate challenging emotions, understand the information your emotions are giving you about your experience, and learn how to make decisions grounded in emotional stability.
Build confidence: Learn to bounce back from setbacks, build fortitude, and understand yourself and your skills, gaining confidence in your own capabilities.
See your impact: Learn to see and appreciate your ripple effect. Understand the impact you have on those around you and learn how to take wise action.
KB Collaborations works with a range of clients, from new leaders taking on their first management roles to senior and executive leaders looking to refine their leadership styles.

We recognize the unique challenges and opportunities that women leaders face, and we're here to provide the support you need on your leadership journey.
“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.”

Personal Coaching
Navigating Life with Empathy and Expertise
Are you currently experiencing a turbulent phase in your personal life? Are you on the brink of a significant change and need support and guidance to find your way forward? Alternatively, are you looking to re-evaluate your perspective on life, and align with what’s important to you? Our Personal Coaching services at KB Collaborations are expertly designed to help you frame meaningful goals and identify your personal motivation for change.
We coach from the perspective that you have expert knowledge of yourself. Our role as a coach is to skillfully guide you through a process of self-discovery to help you gain better access to your internal wisdom.

Our approach is focused on helping you uncover and let go of old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you while supporting you to develop new capacities and live in better alignment with your values and goals. Leveraging your existing strengths, we work collaboratively with you to build these new capacities and practically apply the insights you gain to make lasting, sustainable changes.
