Kristin’s Story
I've been called a "titan of industry and domestic goddess," which makes me laugh every time. But there's truth in it – I've always believed that building deep, trusted relationships can transform how we get work done.
My background is in management consulting, where I've spent over 15 years focused on strategy development, change initiatives, portfolio and program management, and large-scale organizational transformation. I hold my MPA/MIS degree along with Prosci ADKAR Change Management and PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications.
Change management is a deeply human process at its core. The technical credentials matter, but what really drives my work is something harder to quantify: Helping people navigate the messy, uncomfortable, necessary conversations that make transformation possible.
People say my superpower is building connections and navigating tough situations.
Kavita and I connected through the consulting world, and quickly realized we aligned on our why. Organizations were being told to "be resilient" without any real framework for what that meant or how to build it.
So in 2021, we founded UPlift Collaborative. We wanted to work with mission-driven clients—nonprofits, government agencies, purpose-driven businesses—who were trying to create real impact. And we wanted to do consulting differently: as true partners, not just deliverers of decks and recommendations.
My StrengthsFinder top five:
Futuristic, Relator, Positivity, Activator, Harmony
Means I'm always looking ahead while building the relationships that make change possible. I bring optimism and energy to get things moving, and I'm constantly working to create environments where people can do their best work.
A few years in, and UPlift continues to evolve into what we hoped for: A way to elevate strategies, expand impact, and harness technology (like our Resilience Quotient assessment) to deliver growth across the org.
If you're facing change and need a partner who leads with both head and heart, let's connect. Find me on LinkedIn or schedule a call to explore what's possible.
