Background

About Kristen Hayner

Words matter. They are powerful opportunists that open minds to new ideas, operational tools that translate plans into actionable paths forward, and trust-builders that unite people in common purpose. When a leader can articulate their words just right, everyone breathes a little easier and moves forward with greater confidence. Across nearly 25 years, I have partnered with leaders to build human-centered, data-driven messages that communicate vision, capture attention, and motivate action. It is an honor to be a sounding board, writer, and editor for those who are leading organizations that promote human flourishing. The messages we develop together become key initiative communications plans that guide work toward a desired end, OpEds that establish a voice in noisy spaces, talking points to mobilize the most critical of audiences, and many mediums in between. I have worked in national and local policy, provider-focused healthcare, education, international non-profits, and entrepreneurial start-ups to help leaders- Solidify a consistent message - Utilize a comprehensive, measurable communications plan - Strengthen position - Navigate change - Manage reputation - Unify an organization internally - Reach targeted audiences - Build partnerships through grassroots outreach Learn more at
