There is something to be said about coaching when you meet Krystal Mathews. She is by far an incredible individual that takes coaching to another level. She is not there to just ask questions as that is not her style. The best way to describe her style is that she rolls her sleeves up and helps her clients explore their thoughts and feelings.
With her calm and soothing approach, she sets the tone of a peace filled session allowing her clients to feel more than comfortable to open up and ultimately articulate the answers that they have inside. Do not be fooled, what she lacks in size, she makes up for with heart, passion, caring, and an immense level of experience as a coach. I know all of this to be true as she IS my coach.
As a fellow coach myself, I have learned many things from Krystal that make me a better coach. Any and all clients that meet her will instantly feel a level of freedom to be “all in” and move past just about any barrier that life may throw at them. If Siskel and Ebert were to give you a review of Krystal, I know that it would be two thumbs up.
Chris Hawkins CEO & Life-CoachCoach Krystal is hands down the best coach around! She has a strong, positive energy that just radiates onto you! She is a gifted coach who has the great ability to listen objectively, support unconditionally, and keep you focused on your ultimate goals.
I am always left empowered and energized after my sessions with Krystal. She is a significant contributor to my personal journey of self-development. Krystal has also helped me become a more powerful, effective, and productive leader in my organization. I highly recommend Krystal Mathews as your coach.
Bharath Srinivasan Sr. Program Manager (Technical)Prior to working with Krystal from Strive2Thrive, I was a person who was unsure of myself and my abilities. I felt that certain job opportunities or simply change were beyond my reach. I struggled with capturing the positive energy needed to venture out to seek other possibilities. The skills that I thought I lacked, I learned that I had all along, and didn't know it until she prompted me to be more introspective.
Goal setting and accountability are no longer hindered, because of the self-assurance and consistency I have gained...now driven to venture out of my comfort zone. I no longer create paradigms that I am comfortable with, holding me back from my full potential.
Strive2Thrive allowed me to obtain positive affirmation and has helped to channel my energy and self-esteem in a way that has boosted my self-confidence.
I haven't yet made a career change, but working with Krystal has motivated me to feel that anything is possible. She is my accountability partner. Giving up is not an option. Her program and presence make you want to be better. Makes you believe that whatever you put your mind to, you will succeed. I no longer fake it until I make it; I now fake it until I become it.
Michelle Moreno-Bishop Office SupervisorKrystal has been my mentor and coach since the day we began working together. She always asks the right questions and provides a positive perspective. Krystal encourages me to push towards my professional goals and draws connections for how my work applies to them.
Krystal helps me discover and see my potential, and helps me identify opportunities when faced with a challenge. I truly don't know what I would do without her!
Sydney Stachyra Deputy Project ManagerI worked with Krystal for several months and got so much out of it. She has a supportive, thoughtful, and uplifting approach that I found very helpful as I worked through my goals each week.
Krystal's coaching helped me gain insights into my work and my relationships that I don't believe I would have experienced on my own, and that's what hiring a coach is all about! She's smart, empathetic and real and I can't recommend her coaching services enough.
Judy Gielniak Professional Career CoachWhen I made the switch to the IT field after spending many years as an environmental consultant, I felt like a fish out of water.
Coach Krystal has helped me realize my true potential and opened my eyes to challenging opportunities within our company. She has helped me believe in myself and realize that just because my field changed, but I did not. I just had to believe in myself.
Krystal always has such a positive outlook which has really helped boost my self-esteem.
I am very grateful she is my mentor and I do not know what I would do with her!
Ashley Hampton Deputy Project ManagerCoach Krystal is top-notch! The energy and focus she gives to my development has allowed me to reach new heights personally and professionally.
From the very beginning, I have regained my confidence and inspiration to be my best self on every level. She is always there helping to identify barriers and implement custom processes unique to me that provide a realistic pathway to my success.
Because of this, I now only work 45 hours/week max (used to be 60) and I even get more done! I’ve worked out more in the past 8 weeks than I have in 15 years, combined! I am enjoying much more quality (and energetic) time with my family of five.
At the end of the day, I must take ownership for my results and there is no one else I’d rather have in my corner other than Coach Krystal helping to knock out my goals. She is truly unmatched!
