Meet Your Coach Kristin

Hi there! I'm Kristin Brenner, an explorer of human potential with a strong foundation in quantitative research. My career began in market research, where I spent over 20 years as a consultant specializing in product design, development, and brand strategy. I used a psychology-based approach to understand how values and attitudes influence consumer decisions. My analytical skills and intuitive insights have driven innovation and growth.

While I've cherished my research career, my greatest fulfillment comes from my family. As a mom of two young adults and a recent empty nester, I found the transition surprisingly challenging, especially in redefining my identity and purpose beyond parenting. My love for understanding what makes people tick, along with my passion for guiding/advising his led me to positive psychology and coaching, a field grounded in scientific studies that resonates with my love for research. My certification in applied positive psychology and International Coaching Federation coaching accreditation has not only prepared me for a meaningful new career but also provided life-changing tools for my own  transformation.

I hold a BS in Business Administration, a certification in Market Research Analysis and Methodologies, a Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology and I am currently obtaining my ICF coaching accreditation.

I am an empath at heart, and consider empathy to be my superpower. It allows me to connect deeply with others and use my intuitive sense to facilitate meaningful insights. As a coach, I provide a compassionate space for clients to explore goals through thought-provoking questions, deep listening, and actionable steps. 

My approach is centered around helping my clients cultivate self-awareness, identify their values and goals, and create actionable steps towards achieving them through positive psychology tools. I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their inner world and work towards their desired outcomes.

I'm excited to blend my analytical skills, empathy, and passion for positive psychology to make a meaningful impact in others' lives.  I truly believe in the power of positivity and resilience to transform challenges into opportunities for growth. I believe that every individual has the potential to live a fulfilling and purposeful life. 

Coaching is beneficial in all areas of life including stress management, work-life balance, career transitions, personal growth, personal relationships, uncovering one's meaning and purpose, vitality and more. 

I currently offer one-on-one coaching services, and plan to offer workshops, and retreats in the future. 

As an empty nester who was a bit blindsided by empty nesting, I have a passion for guiding women through the empty nesting transition.
