Kristina's Journey
About Kristina
Kristina is a transformation expert who helps teams and organizations recognize change as a constant dynamic — and use it as an opportunity to evolve. By bringing together years of consulting experience and professional coaching expertise, she supports people in connecting more deeply with themselves and with each other, enabling teams to become more resilient and actively shape change together.
Before we started, Kristina already knew that she wanted to combine her business consulting expertise with her professional coaching experience — and that one of her favorite topics was change.
What she didn’t yet know was why transformation fascinated her so deeply. She was also unsure whether she wanted to work with corporate or private clients — and at times even questioned whether self-employment was truly her path.
Through the Personal Identity Journey, Kristina discovered how strongly her personal values and signature strengths support her in being self-employed. Reflecting on her life using the KAIROS model — the first step of Personal Storytelling — she realized that embracing and actively shaping change as a path to personal growth has been the guiding theme of her life. It also revealed how her sense of meaning and purpose is deeply connected to that narrative.
Journey overview
To give you a deeper sense of how our collaboration unfolded, here’s a look at the structure and key elements that shaped Kristina’s journey. Every collaboration is unique — yet this framework shows what becomes possible when clarity, curiosity, and courage come together to create true connection: first with oneself, and then with the work and impact one wants to bring into the world.

Personal Identity Journey
Personal Storytelling
Step 1
Personal Identity Journey
Compelling personal brands grow from who you are — that’s why Kristina and I began by exploring her core: her Meaning in Life, Signature Strengths, and Personal Values. Over the course of three coaching sessions, Kristina gained deeper self-awareness through Positive Coaching and Positive Interventions grounded in Positive Psychology, supported by scientifically validated questionnaires, including her results from the VIA Strengths Finder®.
Step 2
Personal Storytelling
Before Kristina started writing her story, we reflected on her entire life — identifying key milestones, patterns, and connected events. Together, we defined her story’s narrative, aligned with her business goals. We then refined her story over three review sessions, selected accompanying images, and discussed the layout for digital use. We placed special focus on connecting her personal story to her work as a transformation expert through vision work.

"Let’s go ahead and apply for the entry permits — by the time everything’s approved, Grandma will have changed her mind anyway.”
That one sentence from my dad turned out to mark one of the biggest turning points in my life — because, as it happened, Grandma never changed her mind.
I was seven when my parents told my brother and me that we were going to “move.” Within six months, they sold our apartment, our car, and everything that had felt familiar. We packed five suitcases and left our home — for good. We emigrated from Russia to Germany.
Since that day, change has been a constant companion in my life.
