“Through the coaching I received when working with Kristine, I discovered I possessed skills to balance my life. I just needed to learn to overcome my fears of approaching unfamiliar situations and learn to detach from work. The skills I gained from working with Kristine taught me how to be assertive but not threatening. This is vital for my current job, where I interact with colleagues on a daily basis to make important decisions regarding the direction of our department. I now have the skills to manage these situations without taking personal offense to conflicting arguments. I started working with Kristine when I was in graduate school. Now that I am a university faculty member, the importance of these skills have been paramount for my survival and sanity.”

“What if you unknowingly held the key to overcoming a significant issue in your life? Because you don't know that you hold this key, you need someone special to guide you in unlocking your potential. My point is this, the changes that I experienced came about because of Kristine Van Dorsten's skillful, professional guidance. Don't let more time go by wondering "what if?" You hold your own key to success, let Kristine guide you to unlock your potential. I highly recommend her services.”

“Working with Kristine has literally renewed my confidence in my own drive and ability to build the life I want. When we started working together, I had a very hard time prioritizing healthy actions in my day to day because of how much I have going on personally and professionally. And what’s amazing about this coaching process with Kristine is that life hasn’t gotten any easier, but I have gotten stronger! Her questions, the way she helps me refocus my attention onto a healthier way of functioning, her deep empathy…they all helped me create and stick to sustainable habits that bring massive shift. Week after week, I’ve regained energy, enthusiasm, and an overall sense of wellbeing that was very hard to dream with only four months ago. And these feelings flow into how I now approach work challenges that used to overwhelm me before. Truly grateful for this process with her.”

“Kristine has been just simply incredible and our team respects and admires her. During our offsite retreat, there was an unresolved issue between team members that came to the surface as we were discussing building trust and how the lack of that brings an avoidance to conflict. (Kristine) quickly pivoted the meeting to help us navigate that much needed conversation. We were able to give and receive forgiveness from one another and are the better for it as a team. I believe that was a drop anchor moment that we will remember and carry with us as a team when the seas get choppy again.”

“Impulse control is something that I have struggled with all my life so I feel like I gained some valuable information.” “I really enjoyed her. She is informative and engaging, listens, and seems to care about what we have to say.”

“Content was great and relatable.” “The tools provided were presented in a way that is not complicated.” “I have more confidence to navigate through difficult conversations.” “Kristine is awesome and very knowledgeable at what she does and teaches and I appreciate learning from her very much.” “I enjoy the specifics on how to start a conversation. That has always been the most difficult for me.”

“The course was set up well…very clear objectives and an openness on how to achieve it.”

“Kristine presented the content with just the right amount of seriousness and calm friendliness. It made the subject matter easier to deal with.”
