Attuned and Responsive
“Kristen Moreland by far is one of the most attuned and responsive coaches with whom I have ever worked. Her calm, compassionate demeanor causes the coachee to be open and receptive to her guidance and nudges. Kristen supported me through two distinct yet challenging school leadership roles. Her presence, voice, and follow-up were primary contributors to my success.”
