Stop the Communication-Burnout Cycle. Lead Authentically. Build Momentum.
For introverted leaders who are burning out from communication demands that drain their energy and compromise their effectiveness. Choose from Peer Circles or 1:1 Strategy Sessions designed for your unique leadership style.
Communication and burnout are deeply interconnected.
I know what it's like to quietly carry a lot. To feel exhausted by constant meetings, difficult conversations, and the pressure to be "always on". When communication feels draining instead of energizing, it creates a vicious cycle - you avoid the conversations you need to have, which creates more problems, more stress, and deeper burnout.
But what if you could break this cycle?
Imagine yourself communicating with clarity and confidence while actually protecting your energy. Leading powerfully in ways that are true to who YOU are - whether you're working with introverts, extroverts, or mixed teams - without sacrificing your wellbeing.
One intentional step at a time.
That's what Lotus Momentum is all about.
Why Lotus Momentum?
Most leadership programs treat communication skills and burnout as separate problems. But I understand they're deeply connected - especially for introverts - because I've lived it. I experienced this cycle twice in my corporate career. Communication demands often CAUSE burnout, and burnout makes communication even harder.

🌱 Communication + energy approach - we address both the skills and the energy management together
🌱 Designed for how you naturally operate - your pace, your way
🌱 Cross-stage mentorship - learn from and share insights with introverted leaders at different experience levels
🌱 Personality dynamics expertise - master working with all personality types without draining yourself
🌱 30+ years HR wisdom - practical people management strategies that protect your energy while getting results
🌱 Whole-person approach - we look at work and life together because the challenges are interconnected
🌱 Practical and human - real tools you can use immediately

What others are saying...
"I came to Kris feeling completely overwhelmed. Dreading team meetings, avoiding a difficult conversation with my boss, and questioning if I was cut out for leadership. After our work together, I found my voice again. I had that conversation with my boss (and it went well!), redesigned our team meetings to actually energize me, and remembered why I love leading. Most importantly, I stopped feeling like I had to choose between being myself and being effective." (Sarah, VP Tech Services)
"Working with Kris felt like having a wise, caring friend who also happened to be an expert coach and HR strategist. She helped me see that my introverted leadership style wasn't a limitation. It was exactly what my team needed." (Maya, Director of Operations)
Hi, I'm Kris and this is my story...
When I was in Grade 2, my teacher suggested I be tested for speech development because I rarely spoke in class. My Mom's response? "My Kris?! She talks non-stop to her stuffed animals at home. Maybe Kris just needs more time and support to feel comfortable."
My Mom got me. She saw that my quiet wasn't a problem to fix - it was simply how I operated best.
That understanding shaped everything. Over a 30-year corporate HR career, I experienced firsthand what it's like to lead as an introvert in extroverted workplaces. The pressure to speak up faster, network constantly, be "always on". The exhaustion of trying to be someone I wasn't.
But I also discovered something powerful: when introverted leaders are supported to work with their natural strengths rather than against them, they don't just succeed - they thrive. And when they're equipped with practical HR skills AND strategies to manage communication demands without burning out, they become the leaders their teams deserve.
My Mom was my earliest role model of quiet leadership and my biggest champion. Mom was steady, mindful, and kind, and led through presence, compassion, and care. Mom showed me what sanctuary truly means and made me feel both safe and whole when the world made me feel less than. My work at The Leadership Greenhouse and Lotus Learning Sanctuary continues as a tribute to, and in honor of, my beautiful Mom and her legacy.
Mom lived with dementia in her final years and passed away recently, but her wisdom will stay with me forever: "The past is done. The future doesn't belong to us. We just have the present."
That's the foundation of everything I do here - helping introverted leaders embrace the power of small, present-moment steps that honor who they truly are, while building bridges with the extroverts in their world.
Kocham cię, Mamo. Zawsze pozostaniesz moją bohaterką.
