COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Christina treats coaching as organic, fluid conversations focused on what matters most to you/your priorities (what’s taking up your head/heart space and energy?). The coaching conversations are loosely structured to allow exploration, direction changes, and deep discussions. Creating possibilities that match you and reframing are techniques she uses often. You will get out what you put in to coaching.
She’s authentic, direct, fun, and challenging yet supportive. She energizes others to be daring and to challenge their limitations and mindset. She likes to blend fun with practicality. She’s big on listening to your intuition, doing things your way, and focusing on the things you control. Christina can move very quickly for those who are bored easily or create the space needed for thinkers to process new ideas and analyze. She strives to never have the coaching process feel like homework or a waste of time.
Coaching engagements can be very focused and last for 1-3 months (with one or multiple sessions per month) or can extend for years (with one session/month up to unlimited monthly support) with focus on challenges and opportunities that show up in the moment depending on the purpose and level of support you desire.
She encourages you to go for a walk and/or be in a place you feel relaxed/energized during the conversations 🙂
