About Me


Meet Krista 

Dr. Krista 
Robinson-Lyles

When I created HOPE many years ago, I had no idea about the number of people I'd be able to connect with. For 30 years I have been providing consulting, research, facilitation, teaching and coaching services to academic and corporate clients. I am committed to creating positive, healthy and sustainable learning and working environments. My expertise is diverse in range, including developing strong curricular programs for elementary, secondary and university students and faculty; as well as establishing effective strategies for the manifestation of equity and wellness in academic and corporate environments. In the expanse of my career I have served as classroom teacher, building administrator and university faculty, in addition to coaching and consulting in the areas of literacy, racial equity and justice, and mindfulness. I have coached more than 100 professionals, delivered innumerable presentations and webinars, facilitated various short-term and extended engagement workshops and published action research.

As my work has expanded, I am proud and grateful to also work in collaboration and community with Tema Okun, The Pauli Murray Center, Emily Stewart, The Armour Group and Nextions, LLC on various partnerships.
