Hi All,

This year has been so fantastic so far, I’ve decided to add a 2nd wave of clients to the program in early July.  Would you be willing to say a word or two about what you like about this coaching group and the materials I send out each week?  I’d much rather spend my time coaching you all than trying to explain what I do and how I do it.  Many thanks!

KristinCoach, Dallas, Texas

I really love this coaching program.  I feel that it is something that really helps me to keep working towards the goals that are important to me.  The weekly focus form really helps me to stay on track with my goals, which can be challenging with a busy work and personal life.  I especially love the new interactive (and optional) feature of sharing goals with others and discussing thought-provoking questions of the week with the rest of the “inner circle”.

Glenda Simmons ,Dallas, TX

The amazing thing about this program and Kristin is that she helps you do so much more that you thought you could.  It’s a very cumulative process so that a lot of small steps add up to big progress.  I really get a lot out of the weekly challenges or questions of the week that really make you think and put all of the smaller things into perspective.  Kristin doesn’t have you do things just as an exercise.  There’s always a bigger picture in mind and it’s nice when it all fits together. 

The weekly focus form is very comprehensive and definitely keeps you on track with your goals.  Kristin is great to work with and practice what she teaches.

In this program, a shift that can happen if you are open to it. What I mean is the shift from being focused on checking off goals to really getting clear about how you want your life to “BE”. When you find yourself asking these little questions that lead you closer to your authentic self (and most of them are her Questions of the Week), you realize that Kristin and her program are leading you right down the path to who you are meant to be.

I’ve done phone coaching before for an entire year with another coach.  It made such an impact on my life that I jumped at the chance to start again, but in this new way… via email.  I wasn’t sure how it would be, but I can tell you now that I am so happy to have Kristin in my life - giving insights, encouragement, accountability (that’s a big one for me and something the focus form provides perfectly), and a never-ending wealth of ideas to “push the envelope” (the optional question of the week and the bonus articles really help in this area).  Her zest for life is contagious! Her accompaniment on the path of change toward a better me is invaluable.

I had been receiving Kristin’s free Thoughts of the Day for probably five years before I actually decided to try coaching.  I have over 1000!  I chose Kristin because her thoughts were so applicable to my ever changing situation.

This year, I really needed to get my health and home in order; lose weight, gain energy, and get some clarity in my thinking and settle in to my home.  I started the program strong and developed visual anchors with Kristin’s encouragement.  After spending 3 months exercising, eating better and still not losing weight, I was ready to give up.  Even with email coaching, Kristin sensed that and encouraged me to keep going.  I really wanted to quit coaching. Some days I felt so lost with my life energy being so drained.  Kristin was right.  Do something different and don’t give up on an important goal.

Ultimately I attracted the right doctor and support to figure out why I wasn’t losing weight and why I was feeling so badly.  Now, I’ve lost 15 pounds in 8 weeks, feel great, have mental clarity and best of all I have hope for my future.

I have removed over 75 tolerations (energy drains) from my home and life, moved forward with the house remodeling plan, talked my husband into focusing on the things only he can do and letting me hire a handy man for the other items.  We have sold a property, and are moving forward to build our dream experience in our home appreciating what we have.

One of the exercises she gave us was to visualize that we got $10m and had to spend it.  Oh, I already knew how I would do that.  What I hadn’t counted on was the AHA! moment in the exercise.  I am already far along the road to creating many of the experiences I would buy - and I don’t need $10m to have those experiences.  It’s all quite attainable. 

The richness and expansiveness of ideas that are shared among her clients (in the discussion forum) really brings its own energy to each of us and expands our results.

All in all, this has been a great investment that is slowly getting my feet planted so that I can live the second half of my life the way I want and not waste anymore time flitting around like a hummingbird from shiny idea to shiny idea.  I love the balance of creativity with the discipline of the weekly focus form, knowing that Kristin has a much bigger plan.  All I have to do is go along for the ride each week and know that Kristin is driving the bus.

Maureen ,Dallas, TX

I can honestly say that the money I’ve paid for this program is the best investment I’ve ever made. 

I’ve tried other means to improve my life (therapy, reading self-help books, making New Year’s resolutions, working on goals with friends, meditating, etc), and none of those ways has been as effective as Kristin’s program. 

I think one of the strongest features of this program is Kristin herself.  Knowing that Kristin lives out what she preaches gives all of her advice and exercises that much more weight and credibility.  I personally admire Kristin and her lifestyle, and hope to emulate her - so, it makes me want to follow her advice that much more.

Madeline ,Seoul, South Korea

This programme is excellent value considering that it costs about $180 -$200 per hour to see a life coach in person.  I love the fact Kristin is so professional, concise and punctual with her feedback.  She knows how to ask the right questions, and then it is up to us to come up with the right answers. 

I love the way Kristin has structured the course: - weekly progress reports, a question of the week, bonus articles and a quote of the day.  We are kept engaged throughout the whole week!

Kristin has also set up a discussion forum so that we can share our views with other course members.  I think it is an excellent idea since it satisfies our needs to connect with and to contribute to the group.

Kristin is upbeat, magnanimous, professional and flexible in her approach.  A wise man once said, “There are as many ways to the Truth as there are the lives of humans.”  And I feel that’s the approach Kristin takes.

Henry ,Auckland, New Zealand

I’ve been getting Kristin’s “Morning Mantra” (quote/thought of the day) for several years. I was always intrigued by the thought of having a life coach, but was never “quite ready.” Last winter, Kristin announced a new group starting at the beginning of this year. I knew it was my time to jump in.

My life had been very turbulent and chaotic for several years before I signed up with Kristin. By the time I signed up, my life was heading back in the right direction. With Kristin, however, it’s moving at a much faster rate. Kristin’s format is excellent for keeping me on track and focused on my goals. Sometimes, her input challenges me to move out of my comfort zone and take needed action. Other times, she offers a fresh perspective that helps me see something more clearly or in a new way.

I am thrilled with the progress I am making with Kristin’s help. I’m sure I would have gotten to where I am without her ... eventually ... but it would have taken a lot longer and it would have been a much bumpier ride. I have no regrets about signing on with Kristin - except possibly that I didn’t do it sooner!

Randi ,Omaha, Nebraska

My situation is certainly not anything near “normal”.  After a long battle with infertility, we have a beautiful 2 year old son who has a very significant brain disorder.  He’ll have a shortened life span and isn’t expected to walk or talk. 

I realized in our somewhat extreme situation the need and value for continuing to pursue life and goals with a passion. If I give in to the overwhelming-ness of the challenge ahead of us, then I lose out on some of the joy of life.  But my normally energetic bandwidth is no longer an option.  I have to get smart, focused, creative, diligent, and almost to the edge of selfish if I want to keep from giving in to the number of hours and work it takes to care for this precious little life of our son.  He is worth every second of my love and focus, but I can’t just stop and become “only” a caregiver; unless I risk living in a life not worth living for how I am wired.  And ultimately that would NOT be fair to him for me to be lifeless and depressed.

Kristen has been that focus.  I guess sometimes it takes the extremes in life, like our wonderful guy, for any of us to realize we need help.  But I would say: don’t wait for extreme.  Kristen has challenged me to deal with some tough things that have been in my habits for a long time but that now are more critical “life stealers”.  She’s good at what she does, lives out what she teaches, and has that rare gift of discernment and insightfulness.

Her encouragement and insight have helped me to have that extra set of eyes that I don’t have the energy to be in my own life.  I’ve tackled some tough decisions and reshaped some major life planning this year. 

I am thankful for her wisdom in this journey of life that brought a new twist of a HUGE (but different than expected)  blessing in our son.

Cyndi ,Cincinnati, Ohio

Finding Kristin has been a gift.

I always wanted to put my life in order and wondered what would be the best way for me. She knows exactly what I need and where to push and guide.
I look forward to each week knowing there is a focus form, question of the week and the bonus article.

I must admit my favorite one is the question of the week. It makes me think, grow and discover there is more than I thought.

One of my thrilling goals (Kristin helps you get clear about your goals for the year and urges you to have at least 10 thrilling/out of the box goals on the list) was to do a workshop in New York with a famous intuitive and that took place this past May.

Another goal was to buy a guitar and learn how to play. I have the guitar and setting up the lessons.
I enjoy sharing my thoughts in the discussion forum and I always learn from others. The energy is incredible.
I look forward to hear from Kristin by email. I know there will be something for me to work with and I simply enjoy the feedback.

Phone session are great since I know I cannot hide behind an email. When I hang up the phone I feel great because I know I have achieved another step and Kristin has help to clarify, break down and make it simple steps to reach a goal.  I’ve had 2 or 3 phone sessions total during the first 6 months of this year and they were a nice addition and a good boost.

I like all the elements in the focus form. Sometimes they are more challenging however it really brings out the best in me. I love writing what I am grateful for each week, which is something she asks us to do on the form.

I am grateful for being part of the course and process. I am learning, growing and expanding each day.

Thank you Kristin! I love your support, guidance, presence and your energy.  You have great insight and that is a great program.

Irene ,Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Recently I heard a song with the lyrics ,  “I always thought the sum of 1+1 was 2. ” So did I.  However, working with Kristin feels like the sum of 1+1 is 1000.  Her laser-like focus on my goals intensifies them so they are accomplished with speed and elegance.

Kristin describes her coaching as “boutique-style”. It is truly a gift to have direct access to a coach of her caliber. Each week I fill out a focus form. Many of my goals that never make it to the form are achieved. That’s how powerful this course is.

I have become a possibilities thinker and I practise seeing the positive in every situation. I’ve started to welcome the times when my flaws, hidden agendas and unconscious behaviors are highlighted. They have become opportunities for growth. It is so true that I can only change what I acknowledge.

There are remarkable people in the on-line discussion group. The Forum is a wonderful opportunity to share, to connect and to move past limiting beliefs with the support and encouragement of others.  It is an honor to be able to cheer other “first-class” goal-getters on as well.

On the other hand, just reading the program material would have sown magical seeds in my life. They would have just taken much longer to sprout.

Last but not least, this program is a lot of fun and attracts fun people.

Jo-Anne ,Ontario, Canada

I love this program!  In the Question(s) of the Week, she asks some very powerful questions.  There’s a lot to ponder, because if you don’t answer them honestly, you’re only short-changing yourself.  A couple of things I’m grateful to have accomplished are: I’ve gotten rid of a lot of excess stuff (much more to go, but I’m off to a good start), and my creativity is kicking back in (which I was beginning to think was all but gone).  That may not seem like an accomplishment (the latter), because the end result is not there yet.  The point is that the light of hope has returned and that’s a big one!  The bonus articles offer some great processes and more food for thought.  The discussion forum is a great addition to the program, as it helps me see in what ways other people are being motivated, too. 

The tone of the program is very uplifting, with the focus on progress, not pressure.

The Focus Form helps me stay on track.  Her email responses to what I’ve put on the Focus Form have always been positive, sometimes reframing what I say, to put it in a more positive light, which is very helpful.  The “ritual” aspect (doing something nurturing for yourself on a regular basis) has been great.  I’d been “holing up” indoors for so much of the time that I hadn’t been getting the good dose of fresh air that I really need.  I’m spending more time outside now, really enjoying the fresh air and semi-woodsy feel of our backyard.  I’m very grateful to be in this program.  Thank you, Kristin!

Karen ,Santa Clara, CA

Kristin, thank you!  I have learned that it is not only about coaching but how you put it together and Kristin you have a gift and are great at what you do.

I have worked with a coach before and did not feel like I accomplished 1/4 as much as I have with you, and that was phone coaching which was much more expensive than this program.

I have accomplished so much this year and have taken leaps of faith that I am still sometimes very nervous about but know that they are necessary to grow.  I am very excited to continue and take the next step.  It is like I am addicted.

I think it is great to be able to share thoughts, fears and accomplishments with a coach and the entire group if I want.

thank you,

Clivia ,Bedford, TX

I look forward to The Question of the Week, and related exercises as many of them are fun! In complete honesty I don’t always look forward to the focus form; however, I view this as a positive indication that I very much NEED the focus form to keep me on a straight path toward meeting my goals and objectives.

The focus form is integral to the program, as it serves as a tool to keep me organized and on track. Too it serves as a tool to review progress.

During the only phone session I’ve had this year, before I was off of the phone, Kristin assisted me in developing a thorough plan to resume writing projects that had stalled three years ago. Completing those projects is critical to meeting my most significant goal I identified at the beginning of the program.

A couple of years ago I traded work out with another coach. Although the coach was helpful in identifying what I needed to be working on (aforementioned writing projects), Kristin moves beyond identifying issues into focusing on action plans to make things happen efficiently and swiftly.

Over a decade ago as a result of a work-related injury, my goals at that time became no longer possible. What I had worked and studied for decades was abruptly finished, yet painfully unfinished. With that, I lost hope…specifically I lost hope in planning ANYTHING. In working with Kristin, I have re-established hope, and with her assistance hope is becoming reality. This is HUGE, and I am forever grateful for her assistance which has most-certainly been life-saving.

Over the years I have known Kristin I have referred many of my clients to her. It has been thrilling to watch those clients that we share grow and prosper. Kristin is magical!

Traci Bray ,Kansas City, Missouri

This program is amazing! Kristin is amazing. I am so glad i found her.

So far i have removed 45% of the items on my tolerations list and since it’s 3 weeks into June i would say that is about as on-track as you can get.

I have been working on two goals, one was to simplify all room which has been completed and the other was to sell my house for a good price so i have been renovating and decorating. I am thrilled to say (and Kristin doesn’t even know it yet because it just happened last night) I SOLD my house for $30,000 over what i thought i would get for it and in only 6 days in this market!!

I love the bonus articles and QOTW (Question of the week) emails, they are really well thought out, concise and well written and most importantly they make me think and grow, all in the perfect bite size pieces, it’s impossible to get overwhelmed by them.

Kristin is amazing, i think she is superwoman in disguise, how she keeps track of all 100 of us and knows everything is just staggering, i have always felt like “the only one” and never “one of a hundred” she is truly one of a kind.

I am so thrilled and so thankful to Kristin and her program for helping me figure things out and keeping me on track, i could not have done it without her and it’s only half way through the year, I’m excited to see what the rest of the year holds in store for me.

Kel ,Calgary, Alberta

I love these discussion forums.  I am so inspired by each an every individual person in this program.  I am in awe at what everyone is achieving.  A big thanks to Kristin for putting together a great set of tools that offer motivation, encouragement and attraction for what I need to live a wonderful life.

The focus form is wonderful.  The ‘healthy ritual’ is always a difficult one for me.  I really see how I don’t nuture myself.  Kristin has been instrumental in uncannily pointing out my roadblocks and resistence, offering me encouragement and concrete steps to accomplish what I need to do.

I have never been coached before finding Kristin.  I did own almost every self help book published.  I would diligently read them, but I didn’t take much action.  This program works.

Many of my goals are simmering below the surface as I take my little baby steps each week.

Thanks Kristin!

Cynthia ,Alhambra, CA

I find Kristin’s program HUGELY uplifting and rewarding… I first came across her Morning Mantra quite by “chance” and after having subscribed for a couple of years or so, she offered this special program for Jan 2009 and i literally JUMPED on it!  I have been very much wanting to resume my photography career after a very long break and this program has just been WONDERFUL and quite necessary to my progress.

Kristin is extremely intuitive, knowing exactly what to say when and how, in addition to focusing on what parts of my goals I should be focusing on!

I am quite certain that without the weekly focus forms, daily motivation, personal attention, amazingly delicious bonus articles, etc., i would not be where i am already with my goals.

Thank you Kristin, i REALLY appreciate you and am SO GRATEFUL to be a part of this program!!!

Leila ,Los Angeles

Kristin has been my coach for the last 5 years and her program has helped me through several major life transitions, including two different jobs, a major interpersonal crisis, and starting my own business, to name a few.

What has been useful for me this year is the emphasis on eliminating the “tolerations” in my life—things that drain my energy and focus. So far, I’ve done a major decluttering of several rooms, repaired a dozen things in the house that I have been putting off, and decluttered my volunteer and work commitments too—what do I really want to spend my energy on?

Every week, Kristin states, “The *simple* act of selecting at least one goal a week to focus on will add up to a tremendous list of accomplishments by the end of this year.” But I would also add that the simple thing of someone else knowing your goal can be helpful too! Kristin has been incredibly encouraging and supportive, and has also held me accountable to what I want to change in my life.

I’m very certain that the last five years would have been very different and probably less positive without Kristin’s guiding hand. Thank you!

Alice ,Flagstaff AZ

Signing up to be a part of the Inner Circle is the best thing I’ve ever done.

After experiencing the most profound loss of my life, I was stuck and unsure of how to move forward. When I signed up, I was looking for a way to reclaim my life, to find joy again, and to find support as I set out to redefine my goals.

Kristin is such a kind, thoughtful, insightful, positive presence in my life. Where I once only thought about or considered things, I now take action. Filling out the focus form each week has helped me to remove hundreds of tolerations, set goals both big and small, and make significant changes in my life. There’s momentum to my life now. I always look forward to Kristin’s feedback, encouragement, or thought provoking questions – what clarity and focus they provide! Sometimes, I revisit my focus forms and it’s amazing and rewarding to see the changes I’ve made since January.

At first I wondered how effective email coaching could be, but Kristin’s warmth immediately shone through and I truly feel connected.

I’ve enjoyed one phone session with Kristin so far. I’d been stuck so long, I forgot how to make changes. By the end of our conversation, I had happily committed to transitioning into a new career, come to see that the city I live in is suffocating me, that I can investigate the place I want to live in, that I owe it to our clients to be in a place that nurtures my creativity and I even received some writing assignments. WOW! All in 50 minutes. I got off the phone feeling so energized and full of possibility. Now, I’m invigorated with new purpose and focus as I work to move towards and fulfill my dreams.

A few years ago, I tried coaching for my business.  We didn’t set goals and that coach was highly critical and negative. Needless to say, I stopped the program. This is why I was hesitant to sign up for more coaching, but my experience with Kristin has been the polar opposite of the other coach. I especially appreciate her focus, articles, timely responses, and support.

In just six months, I’ve learned that possibility is still all around me. I’ve come to see that I can be the person I want to be and live the life I desire.

Thank you, Kristin!

Jocelyn ,Edmonton, AB Canada

Kristin,
This program has been life changing for me. My life is in more balance; each day has purpose to it beyond the everyday “regular” stuff; my to do lists seem manageable and my tolerations get ticked away each week; I feel grateful each day!
Meg

I feel extremely blessed to have found Kristin.

I utilized her telephone coaching program several years ago, and in just a few sessions, she put a plan in place for me to significantly increase my savings, help me determine whether or not I wanted to have a baby, and find my dream job. 

At the time, I was working in a hyper-competitve hi-tech sales environment and was so stressed out that I was grinding my teeth in my sleep according to my husband (and dentist!).  I was financially successful, but my body and mind were paying dearly.  Not to mention the people around me.  I was trying lots of different things to reduce my stress, but nothing was working.  Yoga, self-help books, postive thinking, career development books, you name it.

While working with Kristin, I increased my savings account by 8x.  I CREATED my dream job (instead of trying to find it), I did 6 triathlons (I even had to learn how to swim before training!), and then got pregnant. 

Kristin helped me realize that I could create my ‘dream life’, not just my dream job.

Years later I tried another (local) life coach, and to say the difference was “night and day” would be putting it lightly. 

I signed up for Kristin’s Inner Circle Program, and this has been an amazing year already.

I also utilized two “power” phone sessions during the program, in the first 6 months.

Needless to say, I love this program.  It is worth every penny, and is the best investment I have ever made (I tell my friends that all the time).

I’m still not sure how Kristin does what she does, but it’s clear that she has met her calling.  She helps you get crystal clear about what you want, and then she tells you exactly what you need to do, to get it.  And when it happens, it feels like magic.

Carolyn

Kristin is a blessing to me.

I’ve been a phone client and done several of her e-courses and I’ve grown so much from every experience that it’s hard to know where to start!

With the Inner Circle program, I feel like I have access to all kinds of inspiration. The focus form really keeps me on track and has helped me accomplish much: decluttering around my house, toleration removal, new exercise program and recently, a new career training opportunity.

I really enjoy the recent discussion forum with the question of the week. It’s great to see what other people in the group think and often inspires me to think “outside the box”. I love that! The tone of the group is so upbeat and fun and energetic that I gain energy from them!  This helps me accomplish more of the goals that I’ve set forth for myself.

I look forward to Kristin’s comments about my focus form and the question of the week which always leads me on an interesting thought journey. Usually, these questions lead me to make another shift in my thinking.

I love the Inner Circle program because it really gives me a direction in my life and helps me take little steps which together add up to big changes.
Thank you Kristin for your vision!
