Kim H. Krisco

The author of three books on leadership, is now delighted to follow in the footsteps of the master storyteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle by adding five totally new Sherlock Holmes adventures to the canon in his new book: Sherlock Holmes-The Golden Years from MX Publishing.He captures the voice and style of Doyle as Holmes and Watson find themselves unraveling mysteries in and around turn of the century London that, as Holmes puts it, “appears to have taken on an unsavory European influence.”Meticulously researched, all of Krisco’s stories read like mini historical novels. Indeed Kim trekked to Aviemore Scotland, and climbed Ben Macdui Mountain, so he could better capture the authentic feel of the setting for The Bonnie Bag of Bones – the first of Holmes’s post-retirement adventures.In Sherlock Holmes – The Golden Years, Kim Krisco breathes new life into the beloved “odd couple,” shedding new light on Holmes’s and Watson’s protean friendship that is becoming richer and “puckish” with age.Kim lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in a straw-bale home he built himself. This effort became the backdrop for his last book on coaching.I used to think I was special – a dangerous way to think for someone coaching other people.Fortunately, my special-ness rubbed off over a period of ten years while building a home and coaching center in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Colorado. The construction process is complete now, and enough of my defensive, ego-based armor has sloughed off for me to see my journey and myself more clearly.I share my decade long journey with you as a vehicle for gaining deeper insights into human evolution – which, for me, is what coaching is about. Coaches are the midwives of personal growth and transformation – accelerating a natural, universal process toward higher consciousness. If this is true, then it would seem to follow that a coach’s skill and ability grows in proportion to their own personal growth and level of consciousness.Talking to Trees: A chronicle of one coach’s journey into a new coaching paradigm by Kim Krisco, La Penita Press.I now work with leaders, teams and organizations seeking a quantum leap in effectiveness. My coaching center is located in Longs Canyon west of Trinidad. I have published several other books including: Leadership & the Art of Conversation, Leadership Your Way, and Aikido leadership. I’m now writing a historical novel about Arthur Conan Doyle and a book of transcendental poetry. For more information go to www.kimkrisco.com or call him at 719-859-4302.
