Working with Kristi over the past several years has enabled me to make a greater impact not only within my team, but also across the entire organization. The coaching process has helped me identify my “why,” and aligning my thoughts, actions, and words to this purpose have been pivotal to my success. Her coaching has empowered me to make impactful changes at an organizational and team level, leading to improved customer service and a more collaborative, mission-focused team environment. My organization’s executive leadership has recognized this professional growth and development by assigning me to lead department-wide initiatives. Leadership coaching with Kristi has had a tremendous impact on not only my professional growth, but also on my personal growth. I am more confident and self-aware, and more able to be at my best.

Denise F

Division Manager, Loudoun County Human Services

I am a woman working a middle-management position, in a male-dominated field. Kristi was such an asset; helping me to rediscover my strengths and my leadership value, during a very difficult time in my organization. Kristi’s mentorship offered me clarity and energized me to re-engage my team. Almost immediately following my work with Kristi, my team faced some serious and unforeseen challenges. I was better prepared to navigate the challenges alongside my team because of the skills I gained working with Kristi and True Purpose Leadership. The work you do with Kristi will serve you, and those you serve, for a lifetime!

The Coaching I received through True Purpose Leadership proved to be a career and life changing experience. Kristi pushes you to look internally, identify your assets and confront internal and external issues that hold you back from reaching your potential. Working with Kristi, I am no longer someone with untapped potential; I am a manager who confidently utilizes all of my assets for the betterment of my community and organization.

David Ellis

Assistant City Manager

It is difficult to fully express the appreciation I have had for Kristi’s work with my Division, my Program and myself as an individual and as a professional. I first met Kristi when she was contracted to facilitate our management team retreat. It was a time of chaos and uncertainty in our agency which stemmed from management changes. Morale was at an all-time low. The most important thing that I got out of that period of time was that Kristi, who was previously unknown to me, could be trusted. Our team did not have a trusting relationship and I was able to freely express my feelings and thoughts with Kristi. She proved to be very trustworthy and proved that she was trustworthy and respected confidentiality.

Kristi Dooley’s coaching approach is to help you identify and utilize the strengths you already possess and give you the confidence to explore and address areas for development. For me, she was a game-changer.

Tom F

Senior Policy and Public Affairs Manager

I have found my coaching with Kristi to be extremely valuable for a number of reasons. Kristi showed the unique ability to recognize and understand the complex work/business relationships in a very diverse organization and helped to bring a practical and relevant reality to being a leader in such an organization. Her coaching approach exemplified her vast breadth of content expertise. Not only was leadership theory shared, she also tactfully exhibited an emotional intelligence and honesty in her personal and work assessment of my management style.

Deputy Director, Local/Federal Agency

Kristi’s coaching style was thoughtful and innovative; sharpening skills that I thought were being used to the fullest, and in teaching me new ways to lead that were not only beneficial to my career, but helpful in changing the way I viewed matters in my personal life. I appreciate her supportive personality and the way she tailors her coaching strategies so that they are appropriate for each individual that she coaches. I can personally attest to the fact that anyone Kristi coaches will benefit, thus grow in their career.

Division Director, Local/Federal Agency, DC Area

Kristi works magic with each individual by meeting or calling them in advance of each partnering session. Kristi creates trust. Individuals are willing to share their concerns about the project, and about other team members with her. Kristi is then able to crystalize the important issues facing the team in a non-confrontational way that drives to the key issues at the beginning of each partnering meeting. No time is wasted at the partnering meetings. Issues are discussed and resolved, and an action list is developed and assigned. Very productive. Her excellent leadership created partnership among this diverse group. Kristi helped us resolve issues constructively and helped us create trust. I highly recommend True Purpose Leadership as your partnering consultant for your toughest projects.

Jim Davis

CEO, Davis Construction, Inc.

Kristi is a truly talented coach. She has a wonderful style, one that sets the stage for self-exploration as well as a keen ability to ask strategic, thought-provoking questions. By allowing a participant to generate and articulate responses to these questions, the participant can arrive at an “aha moment” long before they may have if they had journeyed along this process on their own. Through the guided self-exploration exercises, Kristy’s approach helps to frame issues and provides a clearer pathway to achieving results. I would recommend Kristi to anyone that wants to experience personal growth and actualization.

Corinne Abramson

Sr. Director of Talent Acquisition Strategy, Sunrise Senior Living, Inc.

I can personally attest to Kristi’s outstanding abilities in the coaching and consulting arena. I participated in a six month ‘Coaching’ program with Kristi and I can honestly say that the experience has had a profound impact on my professional and personal life. Kristi helped me identify and address my weaknesses and further develop my strengths. The resulting increase in self-confidence, self-awareness, and empowerment has had a significantly positive effect on my professional development. While always looked to as a leader by subordinate staff, I am now much more involved with decision making at the highest levels within our agency. I attribute my recent success directly to my experience with this program. Kristi is exceptionally skilled at what she does and I highly recommend her to anyone contemplating utilizing her services. I guarantee that you will not regret it!
