I was originally born in Spain. At the age of nineteen I came to the U.S. believing in the american dream. I was the first in my family to go to college, but as a girl I was told that I should "just have children." I seemed to have a knack for languages, law, and the fine arts, but my mind rebelled all the time. I wanted to create and learn the sciences. In high-school I failed English, Physics and Mathematics and I was told I would not amount to anything. I have since then talk more than seven languages, trained for the FBI academy, work at NASA as an engineer student, and at marine laboratories, hospitals, and even served in the U.S. Army. I wanted to become an astronaut or pilot, and almost did if it was not for my role as a mother. I have helped thousands of students here in the U.S. and overseas to open their horizons and dream the impossible and achieve the impossible as scientists, entrepreneurs, nursing students, or astronomers. My mission in life is to reprogrammed in students and people I coach old habits and wrong patterns and beliefs so they can share their own light into the world. Presently, I speak in events, published books around the world, and work as a professor serving health care students.

Over 12 million people have witnessed Kristen's speaking and theatrical ability through positive messaging live on stage, over 5,000 American high school students have been inspired by her motivational speeches and made the choice to get information on colleges. 30 Haitian students have earned diplomas and degrees online at computer centers which she created in Haiti’s earthquake zone, where 28 of 32 universities were destroyed in the 2010 earthquake. Many of these young people are now gainfully employed in their native country, a result of Kristen's networking ability in calling on CEOs of international companies to give those graduates opportunity to interview for positions. For the past 5 years, Kristen's start up business, Hertzog Homestead has expanded and increased profits. She has even rallied Amish and Old Order Mennonites together as leader of Hope for Haiti Benefit Auction, which brought over 900 community members to her Event Venue the past six years to raise funds for educational initiatives in Haiti. Serving others and providing opportunity has been the keystone to Kristen's motivation and passion. Kristen was diagnosed with learning disabilities including audio-visual perceptual impairment, dyslexia, and ADD at an early age. She academically suffered during a time when her private school was just beginning to understand how these disabilities were challenging to non-traditional learners. At 17, she failed her written driver’s license test seven times, and felt frustrated and exasperated. A high school guidance counselor once told her that with luck, she would find a job at McDonald's. These early challenges developed in Kristen a persistent drive and motivation to help other nontraditional learners and marginalized peoples gain access to opportunities to become successful in life. With strategic vision and effective communication skills, she transformed her bicentennial family farm into the successful Hertzog Homestead Bed & Breakfast in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. Along with her team, she created a unique and hospitable environment for countless guests from around the world. In 2015, Kristen, along with her husband, Scott spearheaded the restoration of their 200-year-old historic limestone bank barn into a three-season event venue for weddings, executive functions, and fundraising events. Kristen has two children, a 16-year-old daughter adopted from Haiti and a 10-year old biological son, who is the 9th generation from an unbroken family bloodline to live on their property.

I'm passionate about helping people (individuals and teams) get out of their own way so they can shine. I'm a speaker, executive coach, Board director and consultant on internal culture change, resilience, leadership, conflict, presence, personal brand and other great stuff. I also speak on the topic of mental health, stress, resilience, autism and the need to embrace diversity. I was a wildly successful, accidental executive who avoided real work until I was 26. After earning an impractical BA in English and Philosophy, I spent two years living on a 40-foot sailboat with five guys (I only slept with one of them, darn it). Started my career at an ad agency in Toronto, and quit everything at 32 to move to the Prairies and be an earth mother. After six months of screaming babies, I hurtled back into the workforce, became an executive at 37 and ran everything from marketing communication to business strategy and enterprise risk. Having never wanted to be a boss, I decided I'd learn how to be kick-ass at it. When my employee engagement scores were 20% higher than the rest of the company, the CEO took notice and I helped him and a peer shift the organization from one of command-and-control to one where employees actively gave constructive feedback up, down and sideways. We landed on Canada's Top 50 Employers list, climbing to #5. That experience informs much of what I do. Lots of leaders talk about trust, constructive conflict and accountability, but fail to understand that actions speak louder than words. Employees have fantastic radar about who's an authentic leader and who isn't, who has their back and who doesn't, and who has the guts to give them difficult feedback that will help them grow. I'm a huge fan of Brené Brown's work on courage and vulnerability, and am both a Certified Daring Way Facilitator (weaving her work into speeches, coaching and consulting) and a Dare To Lead Master Facilitator (corporate clients). Other certifications include PCC (Professional Certified Coach) through the International Coach Federation, Institute Certified Board Director (ICD.D), emotional intelligence (EQi 2.0), and Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). In 2007, I was named one of Canada's 100 Most Powerful Women; in 2012, one of Canada's 25 Women of Influence; in 2014, I was named Humanitarian of the Year by the Canadian Red Cross (SK) for my voluntarism in the area of autism and Dress for Success, in 2018, one of the WISE 50 over 50 award recipients for those who start successful businesses after age 50.
