Hey there, I’m Kristi.
LET ME GUESS…
You’re an individual contributor, maybe in a corporate job, and enjoying the expertise you’ve gained.
You are ready to start leveraging some real-world how-to for corporate life versus all the entrepreneur lingo on the market!)
You’re a change-maker. An avid doer that likes to get seen for your contributions. And ready to get something consistent going so you’re not feeling like you’re chasing the next shiny thing all the time.
You are ready to grow your skills and create impact in the office that gets you noticed and gets you real recognition like pay raises, promotions, and new opportunities.
But…you don’t need someone telling you to “think outside the box” or “live outside your comfort zone’ one more time.
Or give you some inspirational quote about how “if you work hard, good things will just happen.”
You want someone who’s been in the game a while and knows more than your HR rep and your boss about navigating matrix organizations.
That’s where I come in.
I’m the mentor that you always heard you needed but never had the network to get.

WHAT’S MY STORY?
I started in corporate in 2010 after 6 years of working in the advertising agency world marketing big brands like Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ford Racing.
When I entered a 50,000+ employee organization it was a whirlwind of acronyms, a zillion colleagues in almost every time zone, bureaucracy that was hard to understand, and managers who were not equipped to be development coaches.
The scope and navigation was even more intense. At the time, I was a single mom of a toddler working full-time. The company soon went through company-wide layoffs, the largest I’ve seen to date in my career.
I was laid-off, even though I took all the steps that were laid out in front of me by my manager on projects and tasks.
After that point I knew there had to be more that I wasn’t being coached on. I soon discovered what it really took to be successful in corporate and in my career.
From there it all changed for me. I was no longer going with the flow in my career, waiting for opportunities from management.
FAST FORWARD TO NOW…
I’ve been at this whole 9-5 career thing for 15 years and I’m still in corporate today at a leading tech company. I’ve worked in corporate 100 and corporate 500 businesses and have worked on the most memorable brands across industries.
I received an MBA that I paid $0 for thanks to an employer
I have built a reputation that has leaders proactively offering to be my mentor
HOW I DID IT (& YOU CAN TOO)
I’ve learned personally through trial and error, from my 5 years in Human Resources, from being both an employee (individual contributor) and a people leader, and by coaching my teams how to navigate corporate to create career growth.
I created a results-focused project plan for my work projects to maintain leadership interest and create buzz at each stage
I’m sharing all my experiences with you.
It’s time to win at work so you can uplift your life and community.
I do this by teaching corporate 9-to-5er’s the action steps for career advancement so you can stand out from your peers, receive recognition consistently, and be first in line to get pay raises, promotions, and growth opportunities.
6 things you probably don’t know about me…
I’m a Libra, a seeker of all things to be in balance. One big thing that my circle says I excel at is creating Life-Work balance and I’m proud of that. You can find me outdoors exploring.
I have a life motto on a sticky note on my computer. It’s a reminder to “live, not merely exist.” We have abundant choices, let’s explore! I love taking adventures and trying new things.
As time has gone on, I’ve learned that failing is all part of the process. And when we do fail, we learn. When that happens, we fail forward and we grow. I love taking time for reflection.
