Hi, I’m Christina

What if the leader you want to be isn’t somewhere out there — but already within you?

Maybe you’re doubting your abilities, wondering if your manager made the right call, or feeling like an imposter in rooms where you're expected to lead. Or maybe you’re a senior leader trying to hold your team together through yet another wave of change, while questioning how to keep showing up with energy and clarity.

I get it. I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it. These are complex times to lead — and even more so when you don’t see people like you represented at the table.

​

But after 20 years of coaching leaders at every level, here’s what I’ve learned: The most powerful leadership doesn’t come from having all the answers — it comes from aligning with your own voice, values, and vision. When you lead from that place, everything shifts. The impact ripples out — to your team, your organization, and your life.

My journey

A former lawyer and human rights advocate, I found coaching 20 years ago and have been supporting people to lead and grow with more clarity, courage, and purpose - in work and in life - ever since. My early work honed my ability to sit with nuance, ask powerful questions, and hold space for real change. It also ignited a lifelong commitment to supporting those who have historically been excluded from positions of power.

I’m especially passionate about helping women, underrepresented leaders, and quiet achievers lead with greater voice, visibility, and impact — without compromising who they are.

​

Over the past 2 decades I’ve coached hundreds of leaders and their teams — from first-time managers to startup founders, C-suite executives, and Fortune 100 leaders — through growth, uncertainty, visibility blocks, self-doubt, career transitions, and organizational complexity. My coaching helps leaders unlock deeper self-trust, lead with authenticity, and create a ripple effect that transforms their teams and organizations.

Training, Mentoring and Developing Leaders at Scale

​

I’ve had the privilege of training, mentoring, and supervising hundreds of coaches, and am sought out as an expert in developing and delivering transformative and groundbreaking leadership development programs. I’ve developed and led high-impact leadership programs, new manager trainings, and group coaching experiences that have been delivered across industries — from tech to social impact, from early-stage startups to global enterprises.

​

My deep expertise and love for this work led me to build and lead the executive coaching department at Torch, a leading leadership development platform. During my time there, I led the growth of our coach network from 18 to over 600 world-class coaches in more than 30 countries, while setting the vision for quality, methodology, and coach development at scale.​

​

My approach

​

My approach blends strategic clarity with grounded presence, deep listening with direct insight, and mindset shifts with practical tools. I believe that alignment is a force multiplier — and that the best leadership doesn’t require you to become someone else, but to become more fully yourself.

​

A lifelong learner, I bring insights, expertise, tools and practices drawn from extensive training and experience in leadership, communication, mindfulness, group facilitation, strengths-based coaching, Internal Family Systems (parts work), positive psychology, the Enneagram, neuro-linguistic programming, 360 leadership assessments, strategic planning, teambuilding and culture cultivation.  

​

I'm adept at holding space for both practical advice / guidance as well as the deeper work of shifting the mindset and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in unproductive patterns.

​

I believe that effective and impactful leadership of others stems from intentional Self Leadership... and that comes from self awareness, defining success on your own terms, setting clear boundaries, and tapping into your unique value. 

Backstory

​

I've always been an adventurer and someone who has pioneered my own path. Since growing up on the little island of Tasmania, Australia, I've travelled the world extensively, learning more about people and myself than I ever could have dreamed. These days, I live in Northern California with my two amazing teens - but still find opportunities to keep exploring - both near and far. I'm always keen to grow and stretch beyond my preconceived limits (I've recently taken up hot pilates which is introducing me to muscles I never knew existed!) and love to find new solutions to old problems... 

​

So, are you ready to claim your seat at the leadership table? 

​​

Whether you’re a seasoned executive or just starting your leadership journey, I help you cut through the noise, clarify what matters, and build the confidence, presence, and strategy to lead with more purpose, influence, and ease.

​

If you're tired of playing small, second-guessing, or burning out - I’d be honored to support you to take the reins in your career and life.

​

I believe leadership isn’t something you perform — it’s something you embody. And real success should never come at the cost of who you are.​​
