Kristan Swan

Writer, Workshop Facilitator

Kristan Swan, M.Ed. excels in leadership training, group moderation, writing, design, interviewing, and research.
After a career in landscape design, Kristan focused on business coaching. Recognizing the challenges of 'founder's syndrome' and high burnout rates for professional service business owners, she developed the 4 S's of Success: Structure, Systems, Strategy, and Space. Spaghetti in the Wall, a journal with prompts to develop a habit of discernment was created in 2018. Most recently Kristan launched Discovering your Spiritual Autobiography, a non-denominational workshop that invites participants to explore their beliefs, share their stories, and learn from one another in an intimate group setting. Kristan is curious about the intersections between spirituality, human connection, and the art of building a meaningful life—whether in personal reflection or professional collaboration.
