Life is Made up of Boulders and Stones
Life is a steep climb. That climb is never straight. It's full of twists and turns, littered with boulders and stones to be navigated with intention and a vision. How you react on the climb is the difference between staying in place or thriving forward.
After three decades in the corporate world and a diagnosis of AML Leukemia, I slowed down and did the work to discover the red thread of my life's journey.
It was a combination of radical acceptance and grit to stand in what I wanted for myself on my terms. Setting boundaries along with expectations for myself and others. Coming out, I've risen with confidence, clarity, and declared a bold vision for my future.
I learned that being perfect on paper felt perfectly miserable. I learned that my greatest successes didn’t come from a job title, but in helping people create massive impact for themselves and on others. I have the knack of seeing beyond the horizon and using it to help others see more than they could ever imagine was possible for themselves.
I learned through life's transitions that to live joyfully means a mind shift to show up as the woman I want to be and write a narrative only I can write. I knew that I couldn't prepare for life's messes, but I could prepare for how I showed up in pursuit of the life I most wanted.
Today, I help others to do the same.
Today, I'm following my passion for helping high achievers and purpose-driven companies rediscover their joy and lead themselves and their business with more ease.
“Christina gave me the tools to cope with the reoccurring 'pit in my stomach'. Whether you are asking for a raise, transitioning or looking for ways to empower yourself professionally or personally. Christina’s coaching is unique. She took the time to understand what makes me tick as an individual, got me unstuck and gave me the skills to move forward.”
