About Homefront Coaching

Krista Mikos

I have been training and coaching for the past 15 years and have been professionally

life coaching since January, 2005.  My husband, an active duty Army Officer, and I are

stationed in Chicago, Illinois.  Prior to this assignment, we were stationed in Friedberg

and then Heidelberg, Germany.  During that time, I didn't see much of my husband due

to his being on field training exercises and operational deployments.  My last year in

Heidelberg, I was the Thrift Shop Chair on the Board of the Heidelberg Officer's and

Civilian Spouses Club. 

I have been trained by Coach U  and, as a member of the International Coach

Federation (ICF), I adhere to the ICF's Code of Ethics. 

I coach one-on-one,  in groups and I lead tele-classes.  Homefront Coaching is

an off-shoot of my company, LifeStream Coaching, Coaching for Life's Dreams.

I bought our Great Dane, Laska, in Poland.  She is pictured here at only 1 week old. 

Instead of a war baby, we were blessed with a war puppy! 

In my life, I have a number of fulfilled life's dreams: After

obtaining my Master's Degree from the University of

Michigan in Environmental Science, I worked for 8 years at

the National Institute of Standards and Technology which

is part of the Department of Commerce in Washington DC. 

My last position held there was Senior Standards Specialist. 

During that period, among other assignments, I worked as

an analyst for the White House's Office of Management and

Budget. 

I have created a nation-wide network of consultant/engineers to help smaller

manufacturers incorporate pollution prevention into their business practices.  I

created and delivered training programs to this network.

I have published numerous professional articles in English, and have had two of them

translated into German and Chinese for publication in those countries.

I was a Humboldt Chancellor Fellow in Germany which is roughly equivalent to being a

Fulbright Scholar.   

I led U.S. Delegations to international negotiations on standards at home and abroad.

I bungee jumped in New Zealand off a bridge into a gorge!

I have backpacked through Asia, lived abroad for 5 years of my life, am fluent in

German and have seen almost all 50 States.   

I starred in a public service TV commercial with a 4 star General in the U.S. Army.

I climbed to the summit of a 14,000 foot mountain in the Colorado Rockies. 

I was the Chairman of the Board of a Thrift Store on an Army Base in Heidelberg, Germany. 

I have ridden elephants in the jungles of Nepal in search of rhinos and tigers.   

I have finished four sprint triathlons each of which entailed swimming a half of a

mile, biking 15, and then running 3.1 miles. 

I am now a successful life coach the best job in the whole world!
