Kristina Holle | The Authentic You Coaching & Holle Consulting | Authentic Leadership, Empathy & Emotional Intelligence

Founder of Holle Consulting & The Authentic You Coaching
Leadership Coach • Speaker • CHRE • Creator of the SHIFT Framework

Hi, I’m Kristina Holle

I believe leadership begins within. After 25+ years in senior HR leadership roles, I saw how deeply people struggle when they’re disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by expectations, or operating from burnout. Today, I help leaders, teams, and individuals lead with clarity, emotional intelligence, intuition, and grounded authenticity.

My Journey

After a long and successful corporate career, something inside me knew there was more. Not more achievement — more meaning, more alignment, more truth.

I watched countless leaders wrestle with burnout, self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressure to perform instead of lead authentically. Writing The Authentic You: Unleash Your Leadership Potential became my turning point. It opened the door to a deeper mission — to help people reconnect with their intuition, emotional clarity, and authentic leadership identity.

My work blends emotional intelligence, intuitive insight, and identity transformation so people can lead from alignment rather than force. Because when leaders shift on the inside, everything changes on the outside.

What I Stand For

I believe leadership is an inner practice.

Before strategy.
Before performance.
Before skills.

There is self-awareness, emotional clarity, and the courage to lead from truth.

I help people access:

  • their intuition

  • their inner compass

  • their emotional intelligence

  • their authentic leadership identity

  • the part of themselves they’ve been conditioned to ignore

Leadership is evolving — and the world needs leaders who are aligned, conscious, and human.

The SHIFT Framework

A simple and powerful path for personal and organizational transformation:

S— Self-Awareness
H — Holistic Leadership & Well-Being
I — Innovation & Intuition
F — Flourishing Teams & Cultures
T — Transformation from Within

SHIFT guides leaders and teams out of burnout, misalignment, and old patterns and into clarity, confidence, and conscious leadership. It is used across my coaching, corporate programs, retreats, and certification pathway.
