WHAT IF YOUR COACH WAS AS DRIVEN AS YOU ARE?

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hi, I’m Christine

I am all about creating the space you need and deserve to breathe and dig deep. Finding the answers to your questions is not about doing more, getting more data or receiving more feedback. It's the opposite, it's about hitting the pause button and accessing the wisdom you have within. I’ll give you the space where you can be yourself, connect with your innate wisdom and unlock the answers you’ve been searching for.

I’m sharp, I’m driven, I’m sensitive, and I’m a glass-half-full person. I also like to laugh :) 

I thrive in high performance environments. I jetted across the globe devising and implementing strategies for Fortune 500 companies, led and coached teams at Bain & Company, earned an MBA from Harvard Business School, joined a Tech Start-up on the ground floor as a founding team member where I built and led Operations, am competing in marathons (my big crazy goal: a World Ironman Competition) and am raising two little human beings with my husband Christian, the CEO of Glassdoor. 

I know what it means to have your confidence, independence and identity challenged. Having children was a fast track to dropping my ego. I suddenly had a daily mirror and feedback loop for tightly held beliefs and behaviors. Being a perfectionist went out of the window. Striving to be the best at everything was replaced by focusing on things that are meaningful and fulfilling. I started to work smart instead of working hard. I started to trust my intuition versus defaulting to my analytical mind. I focused on more being versus doing. I listened more and talked less. I began to realize that we are all on a lifelong leadership journey, and every person’s journey is unique to them. Living life fully and authentically means turning inward. That’s why I went all in on my passion to become a coach. I work with driven people helping them connect with their authentic selves. I get my clients to think differently and live differently so that they can be inspiring and effective leaders, build thriving companies, and be conscious partners, parents and friends.

I believe that my clients are naturally creative, resourceful and whole, and completely capable of finding their own answers to whatever challenges they face. That’s why I will ask the hard questions and say the scary things because I firmly believe that YOU are capable to be the leader, entrepreneur, partner, parent, and the person you are meant to be.

In short, I’m your biggest champion and advocate.


Christine forced us to be honest with ourselves in a way that unlocked new thinking and growth opportunities for our business. Her experience in business has trained her to ask probing questions that made us better, and her experience as a mom gave her empathy for our struggle to find meaning in our work, set a good example for our kids, and juggle it all. She helped us really hone in our purpose and gave us a new energy to go after our dream.
