Kristy Payne Consulting
Becoming You Certified Practitioner

You can build a life that looks right on paper and still find yourself wondering:

Is this actually what I want?

That's not an easy question to answer.

As a Certified Becoming You Practitioner, Kristy combines a scientifically validated methodology developed by Professor Suzy Welch at NYU Stern with more than 20 years of leadership, strategy, and organizational experience.

Together, you'll uncover what matters most to you, understand where your natural strengths and real-world opportunities intersect, and turn that insight into more deliberate choices about your work and life.

The intersection

The intersection of values, aptitudes, and economically viable interestsThree overlapping circles — values, aptitudes, and economically viable interests — meeting at a shared centre labelled purpose.ValuesAptitudesInterestspurpose

01

Your Values

What genuinely matters to you, not what you think should matter.

02

Your Aptitudes

Things you're naturally wired to do well.

03

Your Economically Viable Interests

How your interests translate into a viable livelihood.

Together, we explore where those three intersect — and what that might mean for the choices in front of you.

Why this works

Becoming You Certified Practitioner

I came to this work after making some significant changes in my own life and becoming increasingly curious about the gap between external success and internal alignment. The methodology gave me language, evidence, and structure for questions I had already been asking for several years. Now I'm certified to guide others through it.

This isn't about blowing up your life or finding your one perfect purpose; it's about understanding yourself more clearly so the decisions you make next are actually yours.

How we work together

One-to-one

I work individually with clients in a confidential 1:1 format, virtually or in person.

Workshops & custom gatherings

Becoming You can also be delivered as a workshop for a team, a group, or a custom gathering. If there are people you'd like to bring together around these questions, let's talk about what that could look like.
