Kirsten Cronlund brings four unique sets of skills
and passions to Lemonade Coaching:

• Genuine Positive Psychology Training
Kirsten is one of a few select trailblazers to officially combine the science of Positive Psychology and coaching. She graduated in May, 2008 from the University of Pennsylvania’s groundbreaking Masters in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) program, and she now assists Dr. Martin Seligman with teaching his incoming classes. There are many coaches who say they incorporate Positive Psychology practices, but Kirsten is learning directly from the leaders in the field, and her coaching applications are all based on cutting-edge scholarship.

• Coach Training with The Coaches Training Institute (CTI)
The powerful skills of coaching that Kirsten received from her instructors at CTI have equipped her to effectively help others envision a bright and meaningful future. She then helps them move from that vision to personally relevant goals and pathways for creating that future.

• Experience as a Classroom Teacher
Kirsten’s background in education helps her to instinctively moderate and shift her approach with her clients, depending on their understanding of their current situation. By maintaining the delicate balance between empathizing with her clients during hardships and holding out for them the lifeboat of tried-and-true learnable skills, Kirsten equips her clients with hope and concrete steps to success.

• Her Own Divorce
Nothing replaces experience. Kirsten’s own divorce within the last five years led her into hopelessness, fear, and despair unlike anything she had ever experienced before. But it also led her to experience growth, resilience, and optimism in unprecedented ways. She feels a calling to bring her message of hope and flourishing to the many, many people who are suffering but who sense that there must be an authentic and successful approach to the divorce process – one that will lead to peace rather than bitterness.
