  • The LPP has been a life changing experience for me with my one-on-ones with Kristen. I learnt how to set boundaries, that it was ok to say no and to put not just at work, but also in my personal life.... Kristen's enthusiasm, passion and encouragement is awe inspiring – it’s given me more confidence and belief in my abilities as a leader” -

    Maree Quinlan, LPP EVT Emerging Leaders

Kristen brought value to each of our team members, meeting them where they were at on their own personal leadership journey. She made the course concepts relatable and actionable to a diverse group, and was effective at achieving broad engagement and accountability.
