“Prior to coaching, I was an expert doer, I was assertive and goal-oriented and active and I did all the things but I also felt overwhelmed and exhausted. I worried that working with a coach would increase my to-do list. Instead it gave me space and clarity. Working with Christine has revealed to me the gaps in my thinking, the root of my creative blocks and the simple and wildly impactful ways I can shift my mind and my behavior to have more success in my work life. I feel both calm and ignited after working with her. I fell in love with my work again and I'm learning new ways to express myself creatively without being overwhelmed by self-imposed expectations and demands.

I've heard time and time again about the value of working with the right coach but I didn't understand it until now. It's not about efficiency or ladder climbing. It's about removing the illusions of obstacles from your work life so you can step into the fullest expression of yourself. It's nothing less than you giving yourself permission to become your best. Christine is no nonsense. She doesn't fluff your ego, she challenges you in ways you didn't know you were craving. She is a force. And she is also a joy to see every two Thursdays. Spend the money. Spend the time. As L'oreal says, you're worth it.”

“Christine helped me analyze where I was and what self-defeating behaviors were holding me back. By the end of my first hour, I had action steps in place, the confidence to act on them, and an overall feeling of pride in an accomplishment that I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise! I was surprised how quickly that first result came.”

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Chicago

“Christine taught me that the time to go after my dreams is RIGHT NOW. I didn’t know how close I was to putting my life back on track until I started working with her. Before coaching, I thought I’d get the things I wanted “someday” and that I had to settle while I waited - maybe for years - for the good stuff to materialize. But someday is right now. Christine helped me find clarity for my ideas, she cheered me on, she called me out on my BS excuses, and she made me see how fun it could be to get moving. RIGHT NOW. I have changed my approach to work, family, friends, money, and fun. I’m feeling so much freer inside my own life. And it took work, but it only took months, not years! Change is challenging and it is WORTH IT, and I don’t know how I could have done it without help.”

“Christine has been absolutely instrumental in taking my career to the next level. I engaged her as a coach as I felt I needed support in reaching for the stars. Christine reminded me in a very powerful way of my unlimited potential. I very quickly reconnected to my bigger MISSION and felt so energized to go out and pursue it! Overall, my work with Christine resulted in a fantastic turnaround in how I feel and go about my career.”

“I truly have a new career path thanks to Christine. I also tackled some deep-seated fears and negative thoughts that I had surrounding my job choices and my performance at those jobs. Now I have concrete actions that I can take to overcome my fears and pursue my dreams.”

“I began working with Christine when I was at a crossroads in my career. Her background in the corporate world, combined with her energy leadership approach enabled me to create a new path for my future. Through our sessions, I came to identify my core values and align them with my career aspirations. I am now working in a new role: one I created, developed and pursued for myself.”

Director of Sales, Convene, New York City

“Christine is the answer! Christine helped me unpack all of the preconceived ideas and fears I had about starting my own business, lay them on the table and then work through every one of them together. Through her coaching process, I was able to look past the expectations that I felt beholden to fulfill in my current career path to envision new possibilities. I'm happy to say that I've launched my own business and now have an amazing coaching partner for the next time I have a road block I need help navigating.”

Owner, Nous NY, Greater New York City Area

“Christine is a warm and personable yet tough coach. She will hold you accountable to your goals, yet do so with an understanding of your situation. She works with you to get to to where you would like to be. [Before coaching with Christine,] I was struggling to find the 'why' of what I did. I liked my job, but was not able to connect it to my deeper purpose. I felt that I was using more energy than necessary to get things done and I wasn't living up to my full potential. [With coaching,] I was able to get a clear sense of my values and what is important to me (and what is not.) This allowed me to align the work I did on a daily basis to what I believed in.”

— ARUN KUMAR, New York City

“Christine identified that I was experiencing a big road block in my path or hurdle in my life that I was not yet moving past. She helped me see that I was on the edge of ‘stepping into my own personal power’ but that I was holding myself back for some reason. If I was to identify that reason, I would be fully where I wanted to be. I thought a lot about that conversation after the {ELI} assessment and am happy to report that I took deliberate steps to identify the block and moved it aside (or perhaps climbed over it!) which has gone a long way towards getting me where I want to be today and moving forward.”
