Kristen has keen insight with regard to helping organizations work more smoothly. She encourages the participants to dig deep and discuss the issues that are important to them, and then helps them translate the information, so that others can understand and comprehend. Through her guidance organizations can take that information and form concrete goals and objectives and ways to achieve those goals.

Over several consultations with Kristen, my thinking process transformed dramatically. In this day and age, we're wired to identify good from bad, so I used to get caught up in dealing with opposing forces that inhibit what I considered progress. Now I experience how alternative approaches have their own merit and notice the benefit of moderating between what I think is important and its interdependent value (e.g. accountability and flexibility). Now I see that people operating under different value systems can face challenges in working together, even if we share the same motivation and vision. Instead of being annoyed at the differences, I am learning to cherish this "creative tension." The ability to turn “negative” situations into challenges I look forward to is a powerful and essential tool for my long-term organizational development skills.
