Every room has a different energy.
My job is to read it, meet it, and move it.
The Leadership Performance Program
A 12-month virtual programme for middle managers, senior leaders and emerging leaders. Practical. Proven. Built on the reality that lasting change takes time.

Private Cohorts
For organisations. Enquire for group pricing.
The LPP — How It Works
The LPP runs virtually via Teams — same day, same time, every month. No pulling people off the floor. No travel. No disruption. Just structured, progressive leadership development that builds habit and actually sticks.
01
Middle managers, senior leaders, emerging leaders, or high-potentials ready to take their leadership seriously. You can send one person or build a full private cohort.
02
Ten live virtual sessions across twelve months. Each one builds on the last. Group coaching plus individual one-on-ones built in. You receive exec recap notes after every session.
03
Better communication. Stronger accountability. Less escalating upward. The managers who complete the LPP lead differently — and it shows in the teams beneath them.
$3,000 per person ($250/month)
Mixed-industry open cohorts — individuals welcome
Private cohorts from 12 people
Fully customised for your organisation

“Kristen has demonstrated her gift of leadership on countless occasions. She has a natural instinct to inspire and motivate those around her.”
Brian Parr · Former Special Agent in Charge, New York Field Office — US Secret Service
About Kristen
There are thousands of leadership consultants. There are very few who have worked on Wall Street, supported US law enforcement and intelligence, defined cultures across Canada, built hospitality teams across the Pacific, and are now working at the intersection of American ambition and Kiwi collaboration.
The same invisible defaults running the room. In every context. In every country. The unspoken expectations, the decisions landing on the same desk, the friction nobody wrote down but everyone is paying for. I’ve watched it operate for twenty years. I know what it looks like before anyone names it.

Kristen is proactive, detail oriented, and a consummate professional. She is very responsive and an absolute delight to work with. I recommend Kristen without reservation.
Senior Counselor to the Secretary, US Department of Homeland Security
Kristen delivered an outstanding communication session. The impact was immediate and lasting. She connected with the audience, who found her highly engaging, relatable, and full of practical tools. Her energy, storytelling, and strategies resonated and we had brilliant feedback. Kristen is a natural facilitator with a real gift for working with people. I highly recommend her.
Director of Shine, Woodford House NZ
The LPP has been a life-changing experience. I learnt how to set boundaries, that it was ok to say no — not just at work, but in my personal life too. Kristen's enthusiasm, passion and encouragement is awe-inspiring. It's given me more confidence and belief in my abilities as a leader.
