Work With Us

On a $50M acquisition, protecting just 1% of the deal's value is $500,000.

That pays for the coaching many times over.

Coaching is a cost you plan for. A bad transition is one you don't.

Needs your input. Swap $50M for your typical client deal size. The $500,000 updates to match (1% of the deal). Hidden on the live site until filled in.
Why transitions fail

The numbers rarely sink a transition. The people do.

70%

of major change programs fail to reach their goals, mostly because of employee resistance and a lack of management support. (McKinsey & Company)

1 in 3

In that analysis, a third of failures traced to management behavior that didn't support the change. That's a leadership problem, and it's coachable. (McKinsey & Company)

What working together looks like

I work alongside you and your leadership team during the real challenge, not from the sidelines.

We start with what's actually happening, then decide what has to change first.

Situations

What it looks like in practice.

ERP rollout

A manufacturing company preparing for a major ERP rollout.

Leadership believed they were aligned. Five executive interviews showed otherwise: competing priorities pulling focus, two divisions working toward different goals, and a habit of avoiding conflict under pressure. We named three conditions that had to be resolved before go live, while there was still time and budget to fix them.

In their words

What clients say.

“I'm more confident in approaching tough issues and addressing them in a constructive way. This leads to better results for the organization.”

Chad SoggeEVP/CTO, Enavate

“Rather than bury interpersonal challenges in the workplace, she develops strong teams who trust and hold each other accountable.”

By understanding complex situations, challenging preconceptions, and reinforcing positive action, she creates positive change. I highly recommend Kristin to any individual or organization who wants to elevate their culture and teams and achieve lasting results.
