Feedback from our team was extremely positive and everyone left the session with new tools in their communication toolkit. Thank you KDalyCo for inspiring all of us to go out and make an impact!

“ Kristen and her team at KDalyCo feel like an extension of my own business. As a business advisor and coach, who works with senior leaders globally, my job is to help my clients find better alignment with their teams, grow and expand their business as well as begin their legacy planning. I regularly and confidently pass a baton to Kristen because once my client is clear on their mission Kristen’s attention to detail, curiosity about personal style and voice, and her uncanny ability to get the most nervous or introverted of people camera and podium ready is remarkable and appears to come as naturally to her as breathing. I couldn’t recommend Kristen more assuredly or more passionately.

Dave Gomes

“I was on the verge of making an important and high profile speech, and I wanted to get it just right. To complicate matters, I had to deliver it using double teleprompters! Although I’ve given many of speeches before, this moment was different. So, for the first time in my life I decided to seek out the assistance of a seasoned media coach. I knew Kristen would be great the second I met her. She has a big personality and a ‘can-do’ attitude. In a short period of time Kristen was able to help me hone my skills, strengthening my delivery and allowing me to feel natural, authentic, and conversational even though I was reading off teleprompters. Kristen’s media coaching really helped me prepare for this big moment. She didn’t try to change me, or my message, she simply drew the best out of me. It was an excellent experience.

“Kristen is a miracle worker. I have spent my whole life with stage fright. I decided it was time to get over it and I accepted a public speaking event at a gallery to talk about my photography. I had plenty of time to work on it. But...I stressed for 7 months. I wanted to bail. I procrastinated. I woke up in the middle of the night panicking. About a week before the event, I was still unprepared when my stars aligned with Kristen’s. She saved me. In a week she taught me life long lessons, not that just got me through my presentation, but about self worth and tackling my "imposter syndrome.” I am forever grateful!
