Conscious Connections Coach + Speaker
Why Coach K?
In these interactive, soul-shifting trainings, Coach K shares what she's learned on her exhausting 20+ year journey of figuring out how to please everyone. As the oldest of 5 in a high-conflict family, a former public school teacher, a near-death survivor, and a professional development trainer + curriculum developer serving over 13,200 schools + organizations in 33 countries, Coach K has experienced the gamut of human connections.
​
In 2017, she realized that each and every one of our connections – smooth, bumpy, and in between – could make sense when related to the 8 elements in nature. This unlocked the secret to proactively strengthen relationships, release reactive patterns of taking things personally, and honor each person's unique needs, desires, and stressors without any lengthy assessments.
​
Captivating, compassionate, and lovingly honest, Coach K brings practical tools inspired by the elements of nature to help you create environments where people thrive because each person's "true nature" is balanced and honored.
