Testimonials

Our misunderstood executive had the strength of “Maximizer.” She naturally wanted to maximize everything we did to continue to reach new heights. Understanding this through Kristen's workshop fundamentally changed our understanding of her and actually caused several staff members to keep that in mind when building conferences, workshops and programs for our clients. It was a great breakthrough and she now has the nickname “Maximizer!” Read More...

Kristen’s work with the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce, GO Topeka, FORGE, EMBD and Heartland Visioning was instrumental in an organizational transformation in engagement and morale. Kristen has a keen insight and understanding of organizational development and her work with StrengthsFinder strategies and employee engagement moved our team to a new level of understanding that was supported by action.

For me as a CPA, having Futuristic as a strength doesn’t necessarily fit in with the “stereotypical” CPA, but going through Kristen’s training helped me realize I need to especially use that strength, because bringing unique and diverse perspectives to solving issues is absolutely critical. Berberich Trahan & Co. PA conversations and expectations have changed now that we have incorporated strengths into our culture to be more in line with people’s natural talents. This is helping us optimize everything we do. Read More...
