Testimonials for Best Year Coaching

“Kristin’s skills for helping me clarify and make my goals concrete for the year–and her entire energetic intention and way of being in her own life–made the process of getting my own goals so clear and easy. It’s not a small task to decide the direction of your life for the next 12 months–especially for someone like me who has a gadgillion projects going on at once. But Kristin met every resistance with compassion and high-vibration jujitsu to make the process go smoothly and even quickly!Wow. I love how I feel like she’s here rooting for me every time I open up Best Year Yet. And I’ve already achieved one of my major goals in the first three months! Thank you, Kristin, for the amazing, intimate space you hold to help me really focus on making my dreams come true.”

“Thank you for all your help during the VIP Coaching Day, Kristin. It was a great experience and you really helped me identify my goals and spell them out in a way that I could not do myself. Goal-setting is not my strong suit! I definitely recommend the VIP Coaching Day, especially for people like me who tend to learn better in person. Since every individual and business is difference, Kristin meets you where you are in order to tailor the VIP Day just for you and maximize what you get out of it. Thanks again, Kristin!”

“It’s incredible how much I’ve accomplished since starting the Best Year Yet program with Kristin Morrison. With Kristin’s help I was able to break down my yearly goals into monthly and then weekly tasks. I’m astonished that it’s only been one quarter! In just three months I have accomplished so much including: setting up a website, putting my business on Google My Business, set up admin software, created Facebook & Instagram pages, gotten over 25 five-star reviews for my business, and I got so many new clients. I have accomplished more in 3 months than I have in 5 years of my business! This is truly going to be my best year yet! Thank you for everything, Kristin!”

It felt great to put in some effort to work towards my goals of growing my business. I also appreciate her beautiful, positive, and real energy.  She’s a gem! Thank you, Kristin!”

“I really enjoyed our coaching session and it was so inspiring to hear your advice! I have been wanting to automate my styling courses for a long time, but you helped demystify the process for me. It doesn’t seem quite so daunting anymore. Having an online course will be the perfect way to promote my book and to bring in new coaching clients. Thank you so much, Kristin!”

“I have been very fortunate to receive Best Year Coaching from Kristin Morrison. What makes her support so valuable is her absolute sincerity and dedication to you and your vision. Kristin completely immerses herself in your vision as if it were her own, and the guidance flows forward effortlessly. Her expertise is readily apparent and her compassion in helping you see and get through your “sticking” points is superb. Kristin helps you to align your self internally, and then helps you effectively align your outside world with your inner vision. She can instantly spot when something is out of alignment and will gracefully bring it to your attention and work with you to find an appropriate resolution. You feel truly supported at all times. Sincere, dedicated, compassionate, and graceful……….that’s been my Kristin Morrison experience.”

“In the time spent together during our coaching session, Kristin unveiled several key awarenesses necessary for my forward professional growth.  She could see where I struggled and was able to articulate actionable items towards reaching my full potential.  Her emphasis on positive mind state and possibility resonated deeply with me and left me feeling motivated, uplifted and inspired. I’m grateful for the experience and recommend her highly to others, regardless of the situation they may face.”

“Kristin has been truly instrumental in transforming my professional and personal life. In a relatively short period of time, my business has grown significantly and my quality of life has improved. Kristin has gently guided me to get out of my comfort zone and go for goals that I would not have believed could be attainable. As a result, my business profit has doubled over the past year. I have also incorporated some of the strategies that Kristin uses for creating balance between the work life and the personal life. I would recommend Kristin to anyone who is starting a new business, or who just wants to greatly improve his or her life. She is very centered, focused, and specific in her goal-setting skills, which produces results! Kristin is an inspiration to me.”

“My coaching session with Kristin was invaluable. She answered my questions with a deep wisdom that comes from her many years as a business owner.  I came away with some practical tips I could immediately implement that have made a huge difference.  She also spoke words of encouragement and affirmation about me as a person that will stay with me forever. She has a way of seeing you for who you really are and calling forth your gifting, like planting seeds of courage and hope to carry with you as you pursue your dreams. I’m so grateful for her help and encouragement! 

Kristin, I got so much out of our time together. You are truly gifted in what you do! Thanks to you, I figured out the hashtag game on Instagram. I found 30 of the top Instagram hashtags for my business and in my last Insta post, I got a bunch of new people looking at my post. You were right, it’s amazing!”

“Kristin was wonderful to work with. Within 30 minutes, she was able to give me concrete steps towards finding employees that I need to run my growing business. Kristin was able to offer ideas on where to find staffing as well as how to break down position descriptions to doable tasks. She was friendly and easy to work with. I felt supported as a small business owner and excited about taking on finding the help that I needed to help my business grow. I have spoken with a variety of other professionals in the field regarding this topic and Kristin’s suggestions have been some of the most useful. I will definitely contact her in the future when looking for more assistance.”

“Working with Kristin has been absolutely revelatory! Not only do I know myself better, but I know exactly who I want to be and I am developing the tools to become that (pretty cool) person. I am able to move purposefully through each day, with an ease of mind I’ve never had, nor ever expected. I can confidently defuse obstacles I previously found daunting and I am managing my flourishing business more strategically and sustainably with greater independence. Eureka! What it is to have a life again! Achieving my interim goals has given me the courage and self-trust to seek what I have always wanted, but wasn’t sure I deserved or believed truly possible. My friends and family have all noted a profound change. They find me simultaneously more grounded, but lighter at heart and in spirit. And although this transformation appears miraculous to them, it is the result of daily progress and maintenance—largely a much-needed shoring up of my thoughts and reactions that keep moving toward balance and joy.

Unequivocally, Kristin has been my catalyst. I am continually in awe of her wisdom and warm heart. I came to her guarded, but her extraordinary empathy and her earnest desire to help me live a better life melted all my defensiveness. Where I feared I might find a critic or judge I found an amazingly caring ally. During our sessions I feel heard, and I know I am thoroughly understood; after our sessions I positively buzz with the energy and excitement of creating what already is and will continue to be an awesome life.

Thank you so, so, so much, Kristin! I will remain forever grateful.”

“Working with Kristin was a total joy because of her kindness and sweet presence. In a fairly short session and without a lot of background information she was able to offer up some very specific, practical things I could implement right away to help amplify my business!”

“The coaching strategies I experienced with Kristin brought me from ground zero to clarity on how to approach realizing my dreams. I was able to bounce my ideas off Kristin and with her valuable knowledge and genuine desire to help others she guided me on a clearer path to accomplishing my vision. I was given various different ideas and created a grounded and achievable first step to achieving my soul’s purpose as a creator and entrepreneur.”

“Thank you so much for the masterful consultation through my Best Year Yet Planning! I don’t have words to explain how enormously helpful you were. I not only observed you skillfully working your way through my plan (especially my guidelines) but was able to model you this morning with my client. I truly feel that my guidelines really represent who I am and how I want to approach my new year. Kristin, you truly are a master and there is no doubt you’re doing the work you are meant to do. Thank you again! I know that it was no accident our paths crossed.”

“Many moons ago I had the delightful pleasure of meeting Kristin, an amazing woman and business owner. We were next door neighbors at a beautiful self-retreat we were both attending. Her dedication to life immediately drew me in as I listened to her talk of being honest & genuine in all of life’s endeavors. Fast forward 10+ years and we meet again! Kristin is not only an author, but also a business coach, a podcast host and a deeply spiritual and in-tune boss babe! To my delight, I was chosen to be in her new podcast where she coaches self-employed business owners on everything from spirituality to how to organize and make business plans. After our session I felt renewed and grateful for her advice. The podcast airs this fall and I can’t wait for you all to hear it!”

“I’ve known Kristin for many years as we have referred business back and forth. She was one of a few business owners welcoming me into the business community when I first started my business. As my business has evolved and increased in clients, things are busier and busier. I found myself working in my business day in and day out with no end in sight. Remembering that my friend Kristin was also a business coach it was time I give her a call.What I was looking for and what I found has been empowering.  Not only was Kristin able to help me see what it was that was keeping my from succeeding, she is helping me get there. She did this by listening to what was conflicting me, addressing it and helping me understand what I can do on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to keep me focused on my goals. She’s not going to do the work for you, but she’ll show you where to go, how to do it and support your new paradigm.

Having a coach is something I need to help me break through my barriers, to remind me of what I’m doing here and to stay focused. Each day I work with energy, creativity and enthusiasm as I’m no longer chained to my business. Kristin knows what you’re going through, how you feel, and how to empower yourself as she’s been there as well. 

I can honestly say I’ve never been so excited about my business. I’m also terrified. The changes I’m making are HUGE, I don’t know if I could have found a new way of running my business without the help of Kristin. She gets it.”

“I was honored and humbled to have a business coaching session by Kristin. Being an entrepreneur is hard, but not having a focused perspective from a professional is harder! Kristin gave me insights and feedback for my business. As an owner I can hardly see from the middle of a boiling pot of a working business! If you are thinking of creating a business – go for it now, but if you are looking to be a successful entrepreneur you must have a session with Kristin.”

“Working with Kristin and the Best Year Coaching Program has been amazing not only for my business but especially for my personal life. I feel I’ve been in a constant struggle to balance work and home life and my home life was losing. Since working with Kristin and Best Year Coaching I have defined some specific goals and have been able to slowly but dramatically regain control over my life. This program is tailored specifically to your goals and your life, so you can do it no matter where you are or where you want to go. The coaching sessions with Kristin are amazing- after each session I feel so energized, refreshed and ready to tackle all the next steps toward my Best Year Yet!”

“Kristin has many fabulous traits; especially remarkable is her disarming abilities to go deep quickly.  This skill is a tool used in many professions and is an honor to witness first hand in this coaching arena.
What I got out of working with Kristin was a combination of effects. First, I was relieved about 10 minutes into the session because I felt emotionally held & physically heard. By the end of my coaching session, I was spiritually invigorated by her willingness to join my journey.
The next morning after our session, I woke up refreshed and inspired to continue the creative process and trust in my success. Kristin’s keen sense of awareness mixed with fact and moxie make for a very rewarding coaching experience.”
