Be the leader that propels ahead ...
not the one that lags behind
There's a career-shifting, generational workforce transition happening right now ... in a business environment that is consistently ambiguous, fast-changing + high-intensity (aka VUCA).
GenXers are being called to ditch the most culturally toxic Baby Boomer ways + lead with more self-awareness, emotional intelligence, intention, consensus building + authenticity than ever before.
Millennials are being called to embrace the most positive aspects of traditional leadership, while scaling up on interpersonal skills, business acumen + decision-making.
The leaders who emerge from this workforce transition (no matter their generation) will be the ones who have embraced these generational shifts and who have found the balance between leadership business skills + leadership human skills.
Make sure you are not left behind -- the business world needs the whole you!

What Clients Say
"... get comfortable with being uncomfortable during growth, transitions"
Christina is a great coach who provided support, tools and techniques that helped me look at my career and life differently. Our coaching sessions helped me discover how to balance and improve my life both professionally and personally and be open to feedback from my colleagues at work. On a personal level, it helped me focus on my true life's passions, get comfortable with being uncomfortable during growth experiences and maintain positivity during transitions. I'm on track to do what I feel I should be / enjoy doing. I continue to reach out to her, and continue to use the tools and techniques she has taught me, to continue living a positive life.
"... abandon old patterns of behavior and thinking that no longer serve you"
I was lucky enough to be coached by Christina. Not only is she a wonderful listener and extremely empathetic, but she is also very practical. She went above-and-beyond by sending me resources that to this day I still fall back on during times of stress and struggles. She is giving of her herself and details her own journey if she thinks it may help you in yours. I would highly recommend Christina for her professionalism, experience and ability as a coach without hesitation. She will provide an enjoyable presence and guidance, and will help you abandon old patterns of behavior and thinking that may no longer serve you in your life and as your best self.
