Your introversion isn't a problem to be fixed.
It's your communication superpower.
Welcome to the Peer Circle. A community where introverted leaders are supported through year-end with clarity, confidence, and calm.
The Peer Circle for Introverted Leaders
Deep transformation through community, reflection, and action.
The Peer Circle is where lasting change takes root, and where introverted leaders come together to navigate one of the most demanding seasons of their year with clarity, confidence, and calm.
This pilot Peer Circle (Nov 2025 - Mar 2026) is designed to help you thrive through:
- Year-end performance reviews - conduct conversations that are productive, human, and energy-smart
- 2026 goal setting - align, motivate, and inspire your people without burning yourself out
- Real-time HR and talent challenges - get tailored guidance and strategy support from a former Chief People Officer who has been exactly where you are
During our time together, you'll learn and apply tools to communicate with confidence, lead with presence, and make sound people decisions...all while protecting your energy and wellbeing.
What makes this Circle different is how we learn. Each month, every member brings a real workplace challenge to the "hot seat" and together, the group shares reflections and solutions from their own experiences. The result? Peer mentoring that's grounded in empathy, experience, and collective wisdom.
What you'll receive:
- Monthly Lotus Labs - peer "hot-seat" coaching where we solve real challenges together and you walk away with actionable solutions
- High-touch 1:1 coaching and advisory access with me for any HR, people, or talent challenge/opportunity
- One (1) team coaching/facilitation session for each Circle member's direct team on any pressing challenge or opportunity
- My proprietary Communication & Energy Blueprint - includes assessment and personalized 1:1 development session
- Lifetime access to the Lotus Learning Portal
- A community of introverted peers who understand exactly what you're navigating
If you're ready to lead your people, and yourself, with renewed energy and purpose, the pilot Peer Circle awaits.
Founding Member investment: $3,500 for 4 months
To give you context: one month of my coaching typically starts at $5,000. I'm pricing this founding cohort differently because you'll help me shape something I believe needs to exist in the world...and because I'm in a season of honoring my Mom's legacy of generosity since her passing in June.
What clients 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)
"Kris doesn't give generic guidance. She helps you understand how your own personality style shapes how you show up, and how to better connect with others who communicate or process differently. Her calm presence and thoughtful questions made me feel so comfortable in trying things I wouldn't have before. This wasn't just professional growth that I experienced, it was a personal transformation." (Jason, Business Analyst)
"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, an introvert who turned quiet into a Sanctuary
My Mom is the inspiration behind the Lotus Learning Sanctuary. She was my earliest role model of quiet leadership and my biggest champion. When I was in Grade 2, during parent-teacher night, my teacher suggested to Mom that 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. Her speech development is just fine. Maybe Kris needs more time and support to feel comfortable in class.” Mic drop :)
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. Through a 30-year corporate HR career, I learned how draining it can be to lead and communicate in extroverted workplaces. But I also discovered something powerful over the last 5 years as a self-leadership coach to my clients: when introverts are supported to work with their natural strengths, they don't just succeed...they thrive.
Mom made me feel safe and whole when the world made me feel less than. She showed me what sanctuary truly means. Mom lived with dementia in her final years and passed away recently, but her wisdom will stay with me forever. She would always say: “The past is done. The future doesn’t belong to us. We just have the present.” My work continues as a tribute to, and in honor of, my beautiful Mom and her legacy. The Lotus Learning Sanctuary exists because I believe introverts have superpowers waiting to be unleashed. We just need the right environment and support to discover them.
Kocham cię, Mamo. Zawsze pozostaniesz moją bohaterką (I love you, Mom. You’ll always be my hero).
You don't need to become someone else to thrive.
You are enough and incredible as the introvert you already are. And you deserve a space and support that honors how you're naturally wired.
