Testimonials

Here's what people are saying about their experiences with me.

"Coaching was new territory for me, so I really didn't know what I was getting into. As a fresh graphic artist, I did what most designers do, took an entry level job and slowly moved up the ladder. I knew that I wanted more and began to freelance. After several years of freelancing, aside from my full time job, I still didn't have a clear vision of how to take my skill to the next level or how I was going to do it. I immediately understood what coaching was all about after the first couple of meetings with Kris. From there, the growth was steady, and the change was exhilarating. I've seen dramatic improvements in my personal and professional skills. I now have a clear understanding of my goals and I'm constantly taking steps to achieve them. Kris is an excellent listener, follows up on everything, and puts a lot of energy into the relationship." Narayan Raum

"Prior to my coaching sessions with Kris, I was working in a sales job for 3 years, feeling stuck, ineffective, financially pressed, with nowhere to go. I was unaware of how I felt about myself and what was priority in my life...I have experienced drastic career and personal changes that I attribute to Kris’ insight, passion, and coaching technique. I have discovered what is truly important to me, and how I feel about issues concerning myself and my family. I have set goals that I know can be attained." Larry Lieberum

My name is Ron Renaud, I've been training coaches for nearly 7 years for the Coaches Training Institute, and personally trained Kris Risley. She is a dynamic, gentle, edgy and spirited woman and likewise as a coach.

I have the wonderful opportunity to have Kris on 2 coaching journeys, each a continuation of the other getting to a plateau which I highly desired. She was able to be my mirror, standing and reflecting the inner parts that was neglected or required to be looked into, bringing to surface issues or topics that need to be "de-blocked". By doing so, I was able to get past a lot of barriers and went through a lot of internal transformation. I highly recommend Kris as a coach any time, anywhere. LP

Kris Risley and I worked together for 6 months this past year. She inspired and modivated me towards a goal I'd been working on for a long time. She helped keep me directed and centered and on track for what needed to be done. She is an awesome, thoughtful and gentle coach. She also has the ability to call me on things I was avoiding and to direct me to explore the reasons I'd avoided them in the past. She is an inspiration to me toward my own desire to coach others with grace and ease. I recommend Kris highly as a Coach! CA

Kris Risley is one of the most professional coaches I know. She is passionate in her desire to make a difference in the lives of those she coaches. She respects the profession, having completed CTI's rigorous certification program, as well as their Leadership program. Her warmth and sense of humor touch everyone. TC

I'm sure you recall speaking with me recently as the Dyer-Schererville library as I was taking notes for an article about your presentation...I found your coaching style to be firm and decisive, yet your voice was soothing. AA
