Kristin’s Sto­ry

Kristin Haz­zard is a dynam­ic Exec­u­tive Coach and Growth Advi­sor who part­ners with CEOs and lead­er­ship teams in high-growth, entre­pre­neur­ial orga­ni­za­tions to build excep­tion­al teams and dri­ve sus­tain­able suc­cess. With exper­tise in Orga­ni­za­tion­al Devel­op­ment, Scal­ing Up, and strate­gic align­ment, she crafts and imple­ments peo­ple strate­gies that direct­ly sup­port busi­ness objec­tives. Her inte­grat­ed approach com­bines lead­er­ship train­ing, team devel­op­ment, and tal­ent opti­miza­tion – includ­ing Top­grad­ing for hir­ing and suc­ces­sion plan­ning – to cre­ate sys­tems that accel­er­ate per­for­mance and growth.

Kristin’s clients con­sis­tent­ly achieve break­through busi­ness and team results that show up in improved rev­enue growth, reduced turnover costs, enhanced oper­a­tional effi­cien­cy, and increased per­cent­age of A‑players in key seats. Beyond the bot­tom line, her work cre­ates stronger employ­ee engage­ment and enhanced ful­fill­ment in both work and life – trans­form­ing not just how orga­ni­za­tions per­form, but how peo­ple thrive with­in them. Her sys­tem­at­ic approach deliv­ers tan­gi­ble out­comes at every lev­el, mak­ing her part­ner­ship an invest­ment in sus­tained com­pet­i­tive advan­tage and mean­ing­ful work­place culture.

Kristin holds a Mas­ter’s degree in Edu­ca­tion­al Prac­tice with a focus on moti­va­tion, has com­plet­ed grad­u­ate stud­ies in the Psy­chol­o­gy of Lead­er­ship, and earned cer­ti­fi­ca­tions in Busi­ness Man­age­ment from UBC Saud­er, as well as in DISC, Insights, Ennea­gram, and Pos­i­tive Intel­li­gence. This foun­da­tion sup­ports her abil­i­ty to guide lead­ers through com­plex chal­lenges and unlock both orga­ni­za­tion­al and indi­vid­ual potential.

Car­ry­ing for­ward a lega­cy of bar­ri­er-break­ing lead­er­ship – her grand­moth­er was the first Cana­di­an to swim the Eng­lish Chan­nel – Kristin blends strate­gic vision with dis­ci­plined exe­cu­tion. A best-sell­ing co-author, speak­er, and for­mer elite ath­lete (pro­fes­sion­al women’s hock­ey play­er), she brings a high-per­for­mance mind­set to every­thing she does, always with heart. Clients val­ue her ener­gy, no-excus­es atti­tude, and authen­tic com­mit­ment to cre­at­ing envi­ron­ments where peo­ple gen­uine­ly love com­ing to work. Her impact extends beyond cor­po­rate walls through her vol­un­teer work with the Southridge Alum­ni Exec­u­tive Board and men­tor­ship of high school stu­dents, reflect­ing her ded­i­ca­tion to devel­op­ing lead­ers at all levels.

Kristin is known for her rare abil­i­ty to iden­ti­fy indi­vid­ual and team strengths, cre­ate tar­get­ed pri­or­i­ties and action plans, and imple­ment lead­er­ship and man­age­ment sys­tem frame­works that cas­cade through orga­ni­za­tions – result­ing in clear­er com­mu­ni­ca­tion, bet­ter deci­sion-mak­ing, and stronger cross-func­tion­al col­lab­o­ra­tion that dri­ves both busi­ness growth and per­son­al satisfaction.
