Hi, I'm Kryssie
I don't fix broken fairs.
I fix the invisible load sitting on the three people who never say NO!
The Truth About Most Fairs
Most boards are not dysfunctional.
They are exhausted.
They're running on binders nobody updates, knowledge that lives in one person's head, and a quiet agreement: "We'll sort it out next year."
And every year, they don't.
I've been inside agricultural societies long enough to know that the chaos isn't a people problem.
It's a systems problem.
And systems can be fixed.
Why I Know This
I didn't come to this work through a text book or a consulting program.
I came to it because I grew up in this world.
Third-generation fair person. 30+ years inside agricultural societies. 20+ years on fair boards. I've sat in meetings that ran two hours too long. I've watched good volunteers burn out and walk away. I've seen boards lose everything when the one person who knew how it all worked finally stepped down.
I also hold certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, NLP Coaching Frameworks, and Professional Coaching, because understanding systems is one thing. Understanding the people running them is another.
I've delivered workshops and training across Canada on governance, leadership, volunteer appreciation, risk and continuity, and knowledge protection. I've worked at the provincial and national level. I know what breaks, why it breaks, and exactly what it takes to fix it.
What I actually do.
I build systems that hold when people rotate off.
Not generic templates. Not theory. Actual, working structure; documented, practical, and built for the reality of a volunteer-run fair.
Governance. Volunteer roles. Financial workflows. Handover guides. Sponsorship tracking. All of it is designed to survive board turnover, burnout, and fair season showing up, whether you're ready or not.
My job is to make sure the knowledge lives in the organization, not in the inbox of the one exhausted person.
Who This is For
Agricultural societies, fair boards, exhibitions, rodeos and festivals across Canada who are done starting over every year.
If you read that and felt your shoulders drop even a notch, it't right!
Ready to Talk?
You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out.
Just tell me where things are breaking, and we'll go from there.
