Dr. Kristin Morris isn’t your average consultant—she’s a powerhouse who built a national firm while parenting four children and pursuing a doctorate. Now, as Founder and Principal Consultant of Genesis Consulting Services, she’s turning traditional consulting on its head by delivering real results, not just reports. Here are five truths from Dr. Morris to help other women leaders win without losing themselves:
-
Ditch the Myth of Balance: “There’s no such thing as balance,” she says. “It’s harmony.” One moment she’s closing a six-figure deal, the next she’s playing sidewalk chalk with her daughter. The lesson? Don’t chase perfection—chase presence.
-
Lead with Vulnerability: Dr. Morris had to unlearn the idea that strength means having all the answers. “Asking for help is not a weakness; it’s a leadership superpower.”
-
Build What You Need: Genesis was born out of her frustration with toxic workplaces. Today, it’s a high-impact, woman-owned consultancy serving over 7,000 professionals across industries.
-
Speak Human, Not Corporate: “We don’t traffic in buzzwords. We speak truth.”
-
Don’t Go It Alone: “Find your people. We aren’t meant to do life—or business—alone.”
Dr. Morris’s journey exemplifies the power of resilience, authenticity, and community in building a successful enterprise.
