About Kit

As an educational executive for 15 years, primarily in the crucible of being a principal running public (elementary, middle and high) schools, Kit met the challenges of leadership for individuals, small teams, and organizations.  She developed a powerful quiver of tools and practices which now form the core of her facilitation, training and coaching sessions.

As a certified coach through the International Coaching Federation, Kit has honed her practice for the past 7 years.

Kit serves on the Board of Open Floor International, a mindful movement organization that fosters healing and personal growth through dance. Utilizing a consent-based governing process called Dynamic Governance, she practices active listening and creative problem solving with a worldwide group of working members, across the Middle East, Europe, New Zealand and the US.

Kit offers coaching and facilitation to corporate leaders and leadership teams; to school and nonprofit administrators — and to individuals working for change. She holds aside a set amount of hours for pro-bono work.

Kit has served and supported Zen Caregiving Project in San Francisco for many years. She is currently working to offer online memorials through ZCP.

And she DANCES.

"Kit holds space for people as they explore their lives and find clarity and conviction on their paths. She is a beautiful listener, always present 100%. That's rare; whether individually or in a group, Kit is right there, fully present, wise, and generous."
—Johanna Eigen
