Conn Coaching, LLC
“I highly recommend Kristine as a coach. She helped me sort through professional questions and anxieties I had for years. She was always direct, kind and respectful. I was able to develop an action plan, figure out what I want—and now I’m doing what I want to do.”

"Kristine provided a great balance between listening to my thoughts on my current post career dilemma, then providing thoughtful and useful feedback. Our sessions were a great give and take exchange, and her suggested readings helped me to approach things in a more structured manner. I truly feel I've made progress from my sessions with Kristine."

"Kristine's coaching was critical during a pivotal time in my career. She was able to help me create a strategic plan to raise my visibility, address conflict and get on a path to promotion. Long story short, I was promoted to Director in six months. I would not be here without her."
M., Director
"Working with Kristine was the best decision I made all year. I had been in the same job for a long time, feeling stuck and uninspired. I needed to change my mindset--or change my career. To be honest, I was skeptical about coaching. Did I really need to hire someone to help me consider my options, make plans, and hold myself accountable? Well: Yes! Because I sure wasn't doing it on my own. Kristine was a creative partner, a generous collaborator, and a steadying force. She didn't tell me what to do; she showed me that I was capable of more than I had imagined. She's a gift."

"My time with Kristine over the past few months was invaluable. She helped me at a time of transition when I wasn't sure how to proceed. She didn't give me the answers, but gave me her attention, her listening skills, and suggested reading which all helped shape the process and established an openness between us. The balance between having some direction and being curious about trying new things will, I hope, stick with me. I am glad to know her and will, no doubt, reach out to her in the future!"

"Kristine is insightful, supportive, and a true partner in the coaching process. She was instrumental in helping me get out of my own way and to eventually become “unstuck.” I was laid off due to COVID and struggled for many months trying to figure out what to do with my career. We were able to identify my key strengths as well as the type of environments I would thrive in. A few months -- and a lot of hard work -- later, I am happy to say that I have decided to attend graduate school to become a therapist. I can’t thank Kristine enough for helping me reconnect to those long-forgotten dreams; I am infinitely grateful for her guidance during this whole decision-making process."

"The Highlands Ability Battery Test brought clarity to the innate characteristics that shape my way of approaching problem solving and decision making. It reaffirmed why I do things the way I do and helped me identify opportunities to further my professional and personal life. It is a test like no other, eliminating my perception of weakness and turning them instead into strengths of character. Kristine is a highly competent professional who provided clear and concise explanation of the test results and how all of the components come together. Take the test! "

"I was recently displaced from my job of the past 12 years. It came out of the blue and I was at a loss of how to begin the next chapter of my career. I worked with Kristine to identify my strengths and to help me understand where my true interest lies. This has helped me change my mindset from despair to excitement for the next opportunity. She guided me to truly understand myself and that has made my career search much more focused. Looking forward to what the future holds!"

"Having Kristine Conn as a guide through the Highlands Ability Battery was incredibly valuable. She scheduled a quick prep call so I could be better prepared before taking the assessment, and was quick to schedule time with me after the assessment was completed to go over the results. At the end of the assessment I was provided with a lot of information and different reports, and Kristine helped me to make sense of all the information and connect the dots from these strengths and abilities to things in my everyday life and career. I've found myself thinking about these results often in the days that follow as I take note of how I approach certain things. It also helped me to feel more confident about my abilities and how they fit in with the career path I've chosen."

"I had the absolute pleasure of receiving coaching from Kristine, and I can't express how valuable the experience was. From the very beginning, she communicated clearly, and her genuine desire to see her coachees be successful was evident in every interaction. She was thorough in preparing me for the HAB and her insightful feedback and recommendations further show her dedication to her coachees. Her patience and ability to actively listen allowed me to openly share my thoughts and she was quickly able to make connections that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. She was always professional, kind, and engaged in our conversation. Thanks to her guidance, I now have a better understanding of my natural abilities and a set of actionable strategies to enhance both my career and personal life."
