Christine’s service offering for teams and groups...
I work with groups of people who insist on creating the most breathtaking synergistic response because they have all come together. In other words, one plus one plus one... creates the power of 100 or a 1000...far more than is possible with one person, or a group of people working as individuals. When a group of people achieve the alchemy that occurs when they transcend their egoic selves for the clearly aligned intention of the work they came together to do, they find such a place of resonance that only extraordinary outcomes are possible.
This experience can be confronting, exhilarating, magical and transformative. We will have fun together doing serious work. Each member of the team will learn, become observers of themselves in relationship to others and the community, get to see their insecurities and their unknown skills and gifts, and find a place within the team that deeply awakens the very best of them.
How we do this...
As each team and group has their unique dynamic, there is no one size fits all. With small teams I may spend time with each individual as well as with the whole team. With larger teams, I may spend time with some individuals, and even with subgroups. The larger context of the journey is similar to the individual coaching journey. The frequency of interaction will become evident for all participants as the process continues.
The investment..
Because of the emergent and unique nature of each team engagement, I do not offer a fixed monthly fee. We agree in advance to a daily rate or complete fee.
What are the business outcomes?
- To develop leaders and teams who live the principles, ethics and values that inspire people to seek them out, whether it be the customer to build an enduring relationship, the staff member to go the extra mile and then some; or the various stakeholders to be willing to support an enterprise of breathtaking excellence.
- To support the successful navigation of turbulent times, in a way that ensures the company is positioned to meet the emergent future powerfully.
- To create a leadership team that transcends political posturing, backstabbing and collusion...a team that has the developmental competence to work through their issues quickly, to stay focused on the overarching goal of the company, and to bring the very best of themselves to that effort.
I have been working in this way with clients for 14 years. Recently Harvard University commenced an Authentic Leadership program as part of its MBA with very similar processes to the ones I use. This program has been getting extraordinary results. I am not surprised. The best leaders know that the ‘business as usual’ model is dead. The work I do is deeply embedded in highly researched tools and models, including and not limited to Integral Theory and Practice, the principles and models of R.Buckiminster Fuller, Archetypes, Metaphors, Narrative work and Endurance sports.
My clients speak...
For my most real and ‘raw truth’ conversations, I can rely on Christine to get to the real issues and focus on seeing me reach my highest potential. I am, as a consequence, able to far more authentically deal with challenges in a honest and open way – without reverting to negative behaviours.

Working with Christine is like a mirror always reflecting my higher self back to me, challenging me and encouraging me. The pace varies from instant support and reassurance, through to more in-depth discussions around innovation and worldly topics. Christine comes from a different perspective, is incredibly well read and consistently provides a stream of knowledge and wisdom. Christine is a good balance of hard, real, support and inspiration - continually push myself to a higher place.

Christine I would like to thank you for your outstanding, insightful and professional facilitation of our strategy day. I was very impressed with the way in which you were able to involve, challenge and educate all 55 participants. You are extremely skilled in drawing out their feelings, providing business context, addressing participants limiting beliefs and channelling their knowledge so to give a vision to improve our business.

Feedback from Participants Mortgage Specialist Conference
• Enjoyed more than any other session we have had at conference since we started, I felt proud to be able to speak up and be honest with personal feelings.
• Wasn’t just personal and will help improve our business
• Quite confronting in a positive way. Made me want to re evaluate my life at work and home.
• Taking a good look at yourself and the values that drive you. It is up to me how I approach things we all have a choice.
• Really enjoyed the group conversations and watching people when they realised that they had hidden gifts or that it was acceptable to be YOU
• She made me think about what and how I was doing things not just in my job but at home as well. When I saw that we were doing 5 hours of personal development I was really not looking forward to it but once we started I really enjoyed being there.
• I felt Christine’s session made us all do a lot more soul searching and our responses were confirmation of that. Thank you for sharing her with us.
• Figuring out that we all have different desires that drive our own happiness as well as understanding the desires of others to better interact with each other
• Very uplifting and she presented it well
• Moving and inspiring which helped us join in structure what we needed from it, she gave herself personally to encourage us.
• Get the work life balance right, question yourself regularly, self talk positively when the mountain is looming and look for alternatives
