Mindie Kniss

Mindie's "a compassionate commando.  She's a no-bullshit kinda gal, with a lot of heart.  She combines practicality with passion." ~ Paula Byrne, Director of SomaSpace

Hi there!  I'm Mindie Kniss and I'm super excited about helping you integrate the many aspects of your experience to reach greater success in your life's work -- whether that's in a board room or a small business, a national forest or at home with your family.

I've been coaching for four years and I LOVE what I do.  Nothing delights me more than when my clients reach their goals, have enlightened "ahha" moments and surpass their own expectations.

My background runs the gamut from a wilderness adventure guide to corporate America, where I worked for a Fortune 100 company. I'm active in promoting social responsibility with small businesses and nonprofit groups. I'm also an advocate for women and children in developing countries and was awarded a six-month Global Health Fellowship in Nairobi, Kenya to work with HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives.

Each opportunity has offered me a variety of experiences, but the focus of my personal and professional development has been the same, regardless of position:  leadership, optimism and creativity.

Here's a bit of my philosophy:

I believe that life is an adventure of growth through experience. 

I believe that perspective is the starting point for everything.

I believe that what we put out into the world in thought and action is what we receive. 

I believe there is a life-force inside us all seeking expansion and creative expression.
