We Become the Stories We Tell. It’s the truth:

The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves combined with the stories we consume, click and share deeply impact our views of ourselves, others and the world around us. They impact our ability to navigate challenges, have healthy relationships at work and in our personal lives, and they impact our bottom line.
Are the stories you tell serving you or stopping you? Building bridges or walls? How do you begin to re-frame and re-tell?

  1. Be aware of the impact the stories you tell yourself and consume are having on you, your interpersonal relationships and your interactions.
  2. Understand how these stories can serve or stop you in being resilient and able to navigate challenges.
  3. Assist you to begin to set a new foundation with tips and techniques to re-frame, re-tell and be the author of your own story.
  4. Be able to better negotiate and navigate challenges.
  5. Stop the stories that stop you.
  6. Connect more completely to clients and potential partners.

I Know Victoria’s Secret:
She’s Not Perfect Either/ Love Your Body:

Every day we are inundated with airbrushed beyond recognition images of the human body; often these images are literally impossible to achieve and yet we struggle to mold & morph our bodies to fit the frame. Through a multi-media interactive, participatory presentation, Kristin re-frames our thinking to focus on all that our bodies CAN do and offers tips, activities and practical advice to celebrate rather than berate our bodies. This program can be customized for teens, adults and also for those recovering from catastrophic illness. 60 minutes.

Patient Centered Care
 
To Book Kristin or, Request More Info ...

More Than A Diagnosis:

Patients are more than their diagnosis or a coding number. Staff are more than their title. Are we fully hearing the stories of our clients and patients? Are we seeing beyond the diagnosis? Clients/patients are multifaceted human beings, unlock their stories so you can provide better care with more positive patient compliance and outcomes. Partner activities provide participants with hands-on application. 60 minutes

Wings of Hope:

Pushes past stigma and stereotypes in mental health. Every one of us is more than one descriptor, we do not need to be defined by a diagnosis. Kristin shares her journey out of darkness and the unexpected gifts gleaned from growing up with a Vietnam Vet, special ops and often suicidal father, an understandably anxiety-ridden mother and an alcoholic brother. She shares her story and those of survivors from around the world. Where there is darkness, there is also light and by sharing our stories we can offer healing to others and ourselves. 45 to 60 minutes.

 

Everyday Superhero:

True tales culled from the internet & in person interviews across the globe of people who positively impacted through sometimes seemingly small actions that created big changes.
