Hello,
...and I’ll keep you organized
I'm Kristen
THE STORY
For years I’ve been at the end of the boardroom table - pen in hand, laptop plugged into the screen, watching men get rich. I spent the majority of my young adult life standing in two places: behind a bar or next to a very powerful businessman. Sometimes both because I liked having a fancy house, ha!
By the time I was 25 I had supported the government, political, oil and gas, construction, and engineering sectors. Feeling ambitious, this south Louisiana native packed up her fancy house and moved it into a humble space in San Diego with one goal – QUIT PLAYING SMALL.
I ultimately became the Advisor to the President of a women-owned National Engineering firm doing business analytics and managing continuous improvement initiatives across the enterprise. This role was a dream job and it challenged my team and me every day.
Very often I'm told:
I've learned when you have the right mindset, a bit of patience, and the right team, impossible doesn't exist.
When you simplify, organize, and strategically plan, the projects that seem SO OVERWHELMING aren't as scary - they are just really big goals.
I'll never get tired of seeing a look of relaxation when things get easier for people. The exhale, the shoulder drop, the immediate ideas of what to fix next.
At the beginning of Covid I attended a call with 12 female business owners. Nearly every one of them had to pivot in their business in order to keep making money. They spoke with such passion -- their business being a lifelong dream they had made come true! As obstacles and pivots and ideas were discussed it became crystal clear to me…
These were the people I wanted to support. I wanted to be able to take what I had learned and help every woman in the room who had found a way to support herself through passion and talents.
I’ve always been a member of the team that makes things happen. I’m committed to being the woman who shows up with an open mind, listens, works with patience and creativity, and makes dreams of simplicity a reality.
The problem is too complicated.
So many obstacles have prevented
that dream for years.
Good luck.

WHY A KALEIDOSCOPE?
When I think about a kaleidoscope, I think about how when you turn it up to the light and twist the end. There are several patterns, but you keep twisting until you find your favorite.
Business is full of patterns. Business owners create patterns for how things get done: sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they work, but can work better. The patterns of your actions ultimately create patterns as your results.
Just like a kaleidoscope, I reflect patterns back to you. I create an ideal pattern, and then I keep twisting until together we have a beautiful, fascinating systematic pattern that’s your favorite.
Let’s not forget about the light. When we work together, we look at it all. I shine light on the things you might not usually look at and the things you keep stacked away in paper files. We integrate them into the pattern, making sure they not only get done, but are utilized to create data within your business.
