Connect with Kristin
I look forward to meeting you!
I'd love to learn more about you and what you're working on.
For over 10 years I have worked with socio-environmental and educational organizations to foster learning cultures for potent collective action.
As a Harvard-educated socio-environmental leader, facilitator and educator, I believe that getting curious together to grapple with complex challenges can generate the mindset shifts we need to take shared action. I have partnered with interdisciplinary experts and cross-sector professionals in higher education, government, social sector organizations, and grassroots groups. Our lived experience shapes our values and how we understand the world. By creating the conditions to share that experience, we can expand our understanding of the systems we are working in and make better choices. My work is grounded in human development and complex systems research and influenced by Theory U, Interpersonal and Group Dynamics, Art of Hosting, Center for Leadership and Educational Equity, The Ganz Model of Organizing, and somatic practices among other facilitative traditions.
