Testimonials

This last year in my career has been a whirlwind to say the least. My boss and mentor left the organization, my new client contact was challenging and the relationship between our agency and the client was more strained than ever. Without Kristin, I don’t think I would have maintained my sanity much less been able to grow in my position. Kristin helped me to be a more thoughtful leader and mentor, a more engaged agency leader, a more proactive partner to our client and just in general to be more kind to myself during a difficult time. Her strategies and counsel really helped me to see things in a new light and because she’s literally been in our shoes before, it’s easy to talk through the situations without explaining agency operations. I can honestly say that working with Kristin changed my life.

Group Account Director

For as many people as there are in a consulting/agency business, you think it would be easier to find the support that a leader needs. I think of myself as lucky to have had the opportunity to be coached by Kristin. She brings so much thoughtful perspective to our conversations and backs it up with years of expertise having done the work herself. Each piece of advice I found to be incredibly actionable as it was impactful. Highly recommend to anyone who is leading a team of creative people.

CEO

Empathy, compassion and practical application

Our team came to Kristin Bloomquist at a pivotal moment in the agency. She helped each of our leaders develop meaningful growth plans with clear outcomes. We highly value professional development and Kristin delivered every time. My personal experience of empathy and compassion, with Kristin, in the face of very challenging experiences helped me grow professionally, and more importantly, as a person. Each time we met; Kristin was a friendly voice who understood my perspective because she’s walked a mile in my agency shoes. I always felt Kristin was listening deeply to my situation and she helped me see a path forward. We discussed skills, tools and practical ways to meet the challenges head on. I appreciate Kristin’s style, demeaner and follow through. She recapped our meetings which clarified my own thinking. She helped me document my growth plans, performance reviews and even role play difficult employee conversations. I’m a stronger, more effective leader and person because of Kristin Bloomquist’s coaching.

Account Service Executive Leader

Kristin, thank you for such incredible leadership mentoring sessions. I came in not knowing what the end result may look like, with no expectations.

To my delight, our sessions have given me a clear path forward, fresh ways to think about my challenges, and solutions to approach self-improvement and success. I thoroughly enjoyed our time.

It is of great significance to me that you listened intently and openly, introducing actionable items from each discussion. Thank you for inspiring direction for this next step in my career.

 

Sr. Project Manager

Working with Kristin this year has been a total game changer for the way I think about my career, my strengths and my business. She has worked with me to get to a point of clarity around what career path is right for me now and once there, how to not only embrace my solopreneurial lifestyle but kick it up a few notches.

Kristin listens so intently and pulls out the spoken and unspoken insights that you hadn’t thought about and frames it up in a way to think about it differently than you can when you are so deep in it. I found it equally helpful to work through a set roadmap with her as it was to dialogue on of-the-moment challenges and frame them as moments of empowerment rather than discouragement.

Kristin is deeply experienced and unbelievably detailed, capturing moments and action items clearly. She is such a joy to collaborate with and I look forward to working with her again soon!

Founder, Ideally This, an Ecommerce Growth Consultancy

Kristin is the kind of person that you want to talk to. I truly believe that every person entering or struggling in their professional career needs to spend time with her. Not only does she listen to what you want and help develop those areas but gives you new ideas and ways to think about what you’re doing and looking for.

I could rant and rave about how incredible she is, but the main difference that makes her stand apart from the rest is how she continues to care even after our professional meetings. Continually checking in to make sure that you’re still progressing forward. You can clearly tell that she’s doing it out of true care for her clients’ success.

I recommend her to everyone, she’s an absolute blessing. Thank you Kristin!
