“I began working with Christy because my company offered Executive Coaching to leaders, so why not. I have been a highly skilled professional for some time. What I did not see was where there might be new opportunities for self-improvement in my professional role. Christy helped me see how a small change in thinking, here and there, would allow me to evolve and improve the healthcare expert inside me. She offered a safe space to talk freely about stakeholders and processes within my organization. This allowed me the opportunity to journey through some challenging topics. Her targeted questions and post-coaching objective summaries provide next steps I can apply between sessions. She is worth the time, again and again." Senior Leader, 2024

“I attended the New Leader Assimilation training twice for two different teams and was thrilled with the experience! My teams expressed how much they enjoyed the experience and felt they gained further insight into my leadership style while at the same time feeling heard by being able to express their needs. The guidance provided by Christy to better understand my reactions to some of the teams’ responses was invaluable. Not only was I able to learn new tools to better lead the team, I also was able to eliminate old ways of thinking and bad habits. I would encourage all leaders new or experienced to consider participating in this training. You won’t regret it!” Operational Leader, 2024

“Taking an hour twice a month to focus on what we’re really trying to do with others in my same job helped me not only learn new things about myself but realize I had a whole support system I wasn’t leveraging. I was sad when the sessions were over!” Operations Leader, 2022
“The New Leader Assimilation (NLA) training was a transformative experience that has significantly enhanced my effectiveness as a leader and positively impacted my team. On a personal level, the training has helped me develop greater self-awareness, allowing me to recognize my strengths and areas for growth. This reflection has made me a more empathetic leader, enabling me to connect with my team on a deeper level. Additionally, the training has equipped me with better conflict-resolution strategies, fostering a more harmonious work environment. For my team, the benefits were equally significant. They experienced improved collaboration, as the training encouraged open communication and trust among team members. This has led to a more cohesive unit that is aligned with our shared goals. Importantly, I’ve become more intentional about sharing the "why" behind tasks, which has sparked greater self-motivation within the team towards achieving our company goals. Furthermore, the emphasis on shared values has boosted their motivation, creating a sense of ownership and accountability within the group. Lastly, the practical tools we learned for effective problem-solving have empowered the team to tackle challenges more efficiently and confidently.” Operational Leader, 2023
“Christy and I have collaborated on designing, facilitating, and evaluating several training initiatives over the past 10-12 years. She is one of the most knowledgeable consultants I have worked with and demonstrates excellent presentation skills. One of her most valuable traits as a learning leader is her ability to evaluate participant learning to ensure transferable tools and techniques to the work environment. She is an asset as a consultant!" Business Owner, 2024
