Inspiring Leaders and Transforming Teams 

Born into a loud and loving Italian New York family, Kristen Lena’s boldness and passion for authentic communication have always been her defining traits. After graduating Cum Laude with a degree in Speech Communication, she quickly realized that her passion was empowering leaders to drive positive change, productivity and impact through empowered and productive conflict solutions.

Kristen's journey in coaching began with an innate ability to identify patterns in communication and “hear” the things that weren’t being said by her clients. She listens in such a way that she hears, feels and senses the conversations that aren't happening, but need to.  Kristen firmly believes that transformative leadership can only be achieved through authentic and productive communication designed to get to the heart of the matter. 

In her pursuit to inspire and cultivate direct communication, Kristen founded her coaching and consulting company, specializing in personal transformation and team cohesion delivered through the lens of radical honesty and straight-at-it, courageous conversations. She believes that if your team isn’t telling you the truth, you’re losing money and market share.
 

Oh, and by the way ... your team isn't telling you the truth.

The CONFLICT Solution™: A Breakthrough in Team Development

Kristen’s extensive background as an entrepreneur and an advocate of clear, authentic communication, combined with her intuitive and visionary skills, led her to develop her groundbreaking process known as The CONFLICT Solution™. This unique approach equips leaders and teams with the tools to adopt the radical concept that conflict IS the solution, rather than something to fix, avoid, resolve or weed out.  

Kristen’s process empowers leaders, teams and organizations to approach conflict like a firefighter approaches a blaze - to run straight at it, rather than step over it, avoid it or hope it goes away on its own.    

Her process teaches that inside of conflict, lies the unspoken language to our underlying commitments, values and perceptions. When leaders have the courage to see conflict as a key that unlocks performance, their organization experiences higher levels of productivity, employee engagement and ultimately increases in revenue and impact.
