Kristin Moody

Kristin Moody is a coach, educator, and advisor who supports individuals and organizations to realize their missions through the use of empathy. Her partnership has helped underperforming organizations set new goals and improve outcomes, reframe their understanding of inclusion and authentic empowerment, build new relationships that leverage diversity, and build the emotional intelligence of leadership and the morale of the teams they manage. Her collaboration has empowered individuals to pursue and obtain ambitious new career opportunities, realize concrete goals that felt out of reach, and work toward personal growth around understandings about identity.

What Moody knows from more than two decades as an educator and researcher on empathy is that we do not make lasting change or growth in environments where we can’t share our experiences, say the “wrong thing,” and experience joy. Any work on intersectionality has to be rooted in a space that allows for collaborators to be safe feeling vulnerable and to ultimately have a positive experience. Moody also knows that all the theory on bias and allyship means nothing without strategy, plans of action, and accountability. That is the work she empowers individuals and organizations to do, with empathy, joy, and a co-conspiratorial spirit.

Moody uses positive psychology, the neuroscience of learning, and the science of empathy to create empathetic spaces in which individuals and organizations can truly grow.
