"Kristine, you are a very experienced executive coach. I have benefited a great deal from your workshop. The immediate feedback for each participant after their video presentation was a good opportunity for us to learn from each other and fully comprehend this technique. In the role-play of difficult conversations, we had the chance to open ourselves up in the safe environment, obtain the sincere feedback from you on our strengths and weaknesses in communication. Each one of these exercises could be a class for at least one full day. It takes time for us to digest and practice constantly in order to master the skill set. Your coaching workshop will greatly help me in the journey toward this goal. It is an excellent workshop. Thank you very much!

“Thank you for your encouraging words before I went up to tackle the TEDx talk this past Saturday. Thank you so much for how you helped me prepare. You really helped me take many diverse points and my personal story and meld it into a cohesive 18-minute presentation that engaged those listening to stand with me in this fight against trafficking. I was so personally moved by this invitation to be a part of a TEDx event, and your preparation really helped me feel fully present and fully alive to do my best. I look forward to working together again in the near future.”

"I would like to thank you for the time you have dedicated to me. Your advice has been very valuable and, you will be pleased to know, it really worked. Exactly a week after our session, I participated in a panel in Hollywood and our presence was received very well. Our meeting really helped me to understand that brilliant public speaking is a moving target. So, grazie Kristine. Looking forward to seeing you soon."

"Kristine Schaefer provides serene, unflappable calm in that bizarre maelstrom of executive communications. When the business leader's ability to communicate is ripped into psychic confetti by the myriad competing interests that demand his/her attention, Kristine gets them back on track with a preternatural ability borne of a rare level of been-there-done-that'edness that is firm, yet subtle."

“Kristine transformed a number of our executives into compelling storytellers about our company, our products and important industry trends. She has a knack for quickly finding a person’s comfort level by customizing her coaching approach, which has adapted well for a range of executives. Like most technology companies, our executives are often over scheduled, but once they start a session with Kristine, most of them stay on past their session time to continue honing their skills. And the results are clear -- our most important objectives have shone through in the response we received after Kristine’s valuable sessions.”

"Before we began working with Loma, we had a difficult time getting the attention of the media and analysts, and even our prospective customers were unclear about the value we delivered. Loma helped us develop a concise way to communicate our undisputed leadership in workforce management solutions to market influencers, and our value proposition to prospective customers and partners. Our new communications strategy is working thanks to Loma."
