"Christina is the perfect support for career transitions. She has he emotional intelligence skills, plenty of experience and works seamlessly with people from all backgrounds and experience levels. Christina addresses the practical requirements and inner experience of change. Hire her! You'll be supported all the way through the process." - Annette S.
"Christina worked with me extensively after a promotion into a leadership position. I work in health care, and had been working in a mostly clinical environment. I needed to get up to speed on how to navigate the management landscape. She came to the table with a clear understanding of the management world, and offered me both very practical, immediate tactical support as well as a plan for my longer term professional development. Even though the scope of the coaching was focused on my work concerns, she takes a holistic approach and convinced me that I also needed to pay attention to issues such as work-life balance and self-care. Now I occasionally reach out for tune-ups, and am grateful to have a great coach to support me." - Michelle E.
Professional Coaching
Are you feeling stuck, burned out, or overwhelmed? Are you an entrepreneur unsure of how to get it all done? Whether it’s a career change, a promotion, or a life shift working with a coach can help you move forward and upward. A coach serves as an advocate and ally, a guide and litmus test as you craft the life you want through behavioral changes, purposeful reflection, and skill development. Coaches can help you set the pace, provide feedback, and prompt insights on your next steps. You have your own story, and your own ambitions, I can help clarify and distill that ambition to realize the future you want.
Staff Training
Sometimes all you need is for your team to get on the same page. Whether leadership development or improved performance together, I can design the right training to fit your needs. Maybe it's skill development, maybe it's a group training that will increase capacity and improve team dynamics. I proved customized staff training packages tailored to meet your specific organizational needs. I specialize in trainings based on developing emotional intelligence, situational leadership, mindfulness, and improving communications across organizations. I have particular experience with DISC, Enneagram, and Myers-Briggs assessments and can bring those tools to trainings as appropriate for your team and your goals.
Mediation and Conflict Resolution
Conflict is an inevitable part of both personal and professional life. Conflict can be constructive, but often times it can stifle progress, creativity, and growth. Bringing in a neutral third party can help you as an organization or individual move toward resolution while mitigating damage and preserving relationships. As a mediator I work with all stakeholders and develop strategies to help parties reach mutually agreeable solutions.
Strategic Planning
Is your organization or team ready to engage in thoughtful planning? Are you ready to chart a new organizational course but don’t know where to begin? Or perhaps you are struggling to nail down your company’s mission and values? I can help you set short and long term objectives, operationalize those objectives, create governance agreements, and help you bring teams into alignment. Planning is the first step toward implementing any institutional change, I can help you put your best foot forward.
Meeting Facilitation
Meetings have the reputation as nothing more than a long 4-letter word. Dreaded and unproductive at best, insulting at worst. But at their best they can bring together constituents who share ideas and insights, and come out of the session smarter, coordinated, and ready for action. Key flagship meetings and convenings are best facilitated by an expert neutral facilitator. Professional facilitation allows you to focus on substance while I take care of agenda development, recording, setting ground rules, managing speakers and disruptions, keeping time, and post-meeting follow up.
Organizational Diagnosis
Organizations are constantly shifting and changing, and problems/challenges can creep into the system and start affecting performance. An organizational diagnosis intervention is a large-scale undertaking that can get to the root causes and provide data for leaders to consider in making changes to correct course. Not for the faint of heart, this methodology requires buy-in from the highest levels of management, and has the capacity to make a lasting, direct, and positive impact on the organization. Change we can realize together.
