life, leadership, and transition coach

helping busy professionals achieve their goals and enjoy the life they're living

Get clarity, define your next steps, and build the habits that bring you happiness.

We’ll explore who you want to be, what you want to learn, and design the actions that will get you there. I’ll also provide accountability and support; checking in on how things went with the goals you set. Each session can help to sharpen your focus and identify the next step forward.

Not sure if coaching is for you? We’ll be a great fit if:

 

you’re ready to shift from reacting to moving with purpose

Maybe something in your life that seems just beyond your reach - goal setting, time management, or building more intentional habits. Whether your focus is on work or at home, I'm here to help you close that gap.

you’re in the midst of a life changing transition

Are you on the verge of a promotion? Preparing to return to work after taking child care leave? Moving or working across cultures? I understand what it's like to be a new parent, as well as a new manager, and love working with both.

you have goals and know where you’re going, but want support

Whether it's accountability you need or a new way of looking at things, coaching is a partnership that helps you achieve your goals. It can be helpful to have someone walk beside you and I’d love to be that partner for you.

 

 

About me

I grew up in New York and have lived in Japan since 2005. I expected to stay abroad for 1-2 years, but decided to give Tokyo more time and it became my home. For the past 15 years I've worked with globally-minded professionals as they build the careers they want.

As a full-time working mom, navigating cultures to raise bilingual children, I understand feeling like there’s always somewhere to rush off to - all while worrying that you’re not doing enough. So if you're carving out time for yourself with the latest Disney movie playing in the other room, you can be sure I've been there too.

I'm an Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation (ICF), Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certified, and a practitioner of the EQ-i 2.0 assessment for emotional intelligence. I graduated from Cornell University with a BS in Human Development and Purdue University with a MS in Corporate Training & Communication.

Testimonials

“Our sessions give me a chance to reflect and ensure I set aside time to be introspective. Instead of keeping issues and emotions piling up in my head, I can take a moment to decompress and get clear on my priorities. Having this outlet for talking things through has also helped me reduce stress levels, especially during the challenges of the past year.”

“Working with Kristine helps me move toward my goals. I leave every session with a plan, including strategies for how to communicate with the people who will be involved in those solutions.”
