About Kristina's Coaching:

 

Kristina is a NY-based career and life coach who has a proven record of getting "stuck" clients empowered to make lasting professional and personal changes aligned with their true passions and talents in a short time. Her holistic, gimmick-free, and minimalist approach has earned her widely diverse and fiercely loyal following from all walks and stations of life, including savvy New Yorkers who have tried other coaches, approaches, and therapy with little or limited results.  

 

Kristina gets clients to achieve long-term, break-through success by actively listening to their situation with understanding, and without judgment. She encourages her clients to creatively and independently problem-solve by asking them to make conscious, small choices to start. As a result of this, clients learn to stand on their own, think for themselves, and believe in their own abilities to effect change in larger life decisions.

She has a laid-back approach, but don't let that fool anyone. Her ability to read people is amazing and her assessments of how a person can enrich their lives/careers are spot-on. After she asked me lots of questions, she was somehow able to give me an assessment that was frighteningly accurate and illuminating.   

 

I like everything about how Kristina works because it almost seems custom made for the individual she is working with. 

 

Kristina gave me permission to be myself!  I can say no other person has empowered me in that way as much as she has - and I am TRULY forever grateful for that.   

 

A session with Kristina is always an investment in myself. I never feel like any time was wasted and I always leaving feeling better and more inspired than I did when I got there

What Kind of Job Should I Look For?
What Kind of Job Should I Look For?

"I had just lost my job a few weeks earlier and I was a little out of sorts. I attended Kristina's breakout session entitled "How Losing Your Job Can Be a Good Thing". After listening and actively participating in the session, I was really able to put things in perspective. It allowed me to dig deep within myself and really determine what I wanted to do with my life. After the conference, I decided to have a one on one coaching session, which helped validate my career goals, and have also attended her Thursday at Three Transition Group meetings. Kristina is truly an inspiration and I recommend her to anyone who is feeling a bit lost and needs some career and life counseling."

- Justin S.
