New Spanish leader building an Artist Management department in Madrid for a U.S. multinational; requested a “U.S. coach” for cross-cultural guidance. Elevated from individual contributor to a direct report to Head of Studio, with 700 people in studio + a new team → leading to more influence, responsibility and people wanting attention and support.
Needed better tools to stay centered, stay out of overwhelm, prioritize many demands. Needed to uplevel ability to navigate org politics, embody confidence in POV, and meet expanded position and influence.
The impact of working with Christine one on one as my leadership coach and advisor is unmistakable: my team tells me they feel safe and are growing; a once-challenging performer is really glowing, and senior leaders say they can’t believe I changed so many things in just one year.
Working with Christine has been a game-changer. Six months ago I was this fast-paced person… always in a hurry, juggling a brand-new department, global politics and a seven-year-old at home. Today I feel more confident, more empowered and ready for the challenges that will come. I’ve learned how to be as natural as I am, stand in my voice and use that in political, high-level spaces while sticking to my own values.
What sets Christine apart is her abundance of tailored resources that are the perfect fusion of the humanistic part and the corporate savvy know-how. Each session seems so simple yet so mind-blowing, because she goes to the essence of things so easily.
She works from your shoes. She met me with an arsenal of practical tools tailored to my Enneagram type, my politics and my personality—not someone else’s template. In one session she can go from sharing deep wisdom that shifts you from the inside out, and still map stakeholders and talk org-design with credibility.
Her magic scales when groups are involved. Christine facilitated an Enneagram workshop for one of our teams—remotely, from the U.S. while the room was in Madrid—and even across a screen she built connection you rarely feel in person. People who usually stay guarded opened up, and the space felt so psychologically safe that several colleagues later told me it was a turning point for trust on the team. That single session ignited new empathy, clearer communication, and a shared language we still rely on.
