Executive Coaching

Executive coaching for general management and C-suite.

Christine is an experienced and accredited executive coach. Coaching engagements vary depending on client needs, and typically include 360 assessment debriefs, psychometric debriefs and targeted short-term executive coaching for a specific goal. On occasions engagements can evolve to a longer-term relationship as a trusted confidant and coach for executives with regular sound-boarding and perspective-taking. Christine can also provide ‘walk n talk’ sessions for busy executives needing to balance work and health.

Testimonials

  • David Lonergan
    The questions Christine asked were challenging and made me reflect on myself and how my approach to certain situations was limiting my potential in certain areas of my day-to-day interactions with people, and how I could ultimately address this.

    I was particularly impressed by the recommendations made by Christine through the program as these were both highly relevant, and actionable and have so far made a significant difference in my day to day work, and have also led me to having a more balanced life.

    Post completion of my EMBA, I have engaged Christine to provide coaching and guidance on a regular basis.

    My coaching sessions with Christine are invaluable. Christine’s insights are powerful. Not only does she explicitly label dynamic situations; she helps me see situations from different perspectives and offers tips and tricks that work. But the greatest thing about my sessions with Christine is how she empowers me with confidence to be the best leader I can be.

    I had an amazing experience being coached by Christine and the outcome could not have been better. I also was lucky enough to participate in one of her presentation skills courses and I gained great skills which still help me every time I prepare and give a presentation. I’d strongly recommend Christine as I believe her experience and knowledge bring a unique contribution to any organisation.

  • Professor Donna King
    I began working with Christine as a coach soon after I had taken on a new senior leadership role. Christine’s coaching transformed my leadership style in a few months. Her calm demeanour, thoughtful questions and articulate explanations enabled me to reflect on practices and set me on a more sustainable path to success. I also improved my communication with senior and junior staff.

    Furthermore, Christine organised a 360 survey to receive feedback from colleagues for reflection. The outcomes enabled a rich discussion about patterns of behaviour, and I learnt strategies for leadership growth.

    I highly recommend Christine as a coach for any leadership position. She has deep experience in corporate organisations and transfers those skills to highly effective coaching.

    I have been fortunate to recently have access to the services Christine provides. Christine was able to assist me in understanding my leadership style, in particular strengths and skills to work on. Together we have been able to develop a plan to assist me within my career. Her ability to simplify the complex and put it into easy to understand language makes it that much more engaging. I absolutely recommend engaging Christine for any of your people or business needs.

  • Sara Ritzie
    I have had the privilege of connecting with Christine virtually through the Homeward Bound coaching program. The experience has been transformational for me, and the coaching and support I’ve received from Christine has been an integral part of it.

    Her approach is comfortable, compassionate and honest, and even without direct knowledge of my work, Christine has been able to help me evaluate my style profile, my approach, and how I am perceived, and helped me to identify how I can develop as a colleague and a leader. Her provocations have enabled me to reflect on my expectations and aspirations, and helped me to expand and evolve my perspective, at work, and in all my interactions.

    I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for mentoring/coaching services, no matter where in the world you reside.

  • Todd Tippett
    Initially apprehensive about the concept of coaching, I found myself immediately at ease with her assured but empathetic approach. Through her experience and professional intuition Christine quickly isolated and prioritised issues and attitudes that make me who I am, and helped me to select those traits and beliefs to be tackled for best effect.

    Christine offered clear development goals to be worked upon between sessions; I never once felt those were idle activities, indeed during each one the purpose and power of the activity or reflection required emerged. Whilst the follow-up discussions to those reflection pieces always yielded further insights, the discovery of important character traits through the act of reflection were lasting.

    A highly professional and personable mentor, I do not hesitate in strongly recommending Christine. I hope to engage with, and maintain a long-term professional mentoring relationship with her to ensure continued development of my leadership traits and personal growth.

    I’ve engaged Christine as an executive coach over the past two years. Christine has an exceptional ability to quickly understand an issue or opportunity and provide considered and practical advice and solutions. She is a trusted sounding board who enables perspective-taking and helps to clarify strategies for decision-making. I have been coached by a number of executive coaches over the years, however Christine's unique and flexible approach stands her in a class of her own. Highly recommended.
