How Coaching Engagements Are Structured

Leadership coaching engagements are designed to meet leaders where they are and scale based on role, scope, and complexity.

Some leaders come for a focused Spark Session to think clearly about a specific challenge, decision, or moment of pressure. Others work together over a short Clarity Sprint to gain perspective, reduce reactivity, and align their leadership approach during periods of change.

For leaders navigating sustained complexity, longer-term containers provide space for deeper capacity-building, pattern interruption, and integration into day-to-day leadership.

Across all engagements, the work focuses on strengthening self-regulation, improving decision-making under pressure, clarifying priorities, and understanding how individual leadership behaviors ripple across teams and systems.

Engagements are limited and designed based on fit and scope.

Who This Is For

Leadership coaching is best suited for leaders who:

  • Are operating in complex, high-responsibility roles
  • Want a thinking partner, not a performance evaluator
  • Are willing to examine their own patterns, assumptions, and impact
  • Need support navigating pressure, change, or organizational complexity

This work is not designed as remedial coaching or compliance support. It is most effective for leaders who want to lead with greater clarity, steadiness, and intentionality in demanding environments.

Engagements are limited and designed based on fit and scope.

"You provided so much anchored empathy and support. You are able to listen with a genuine heart, a soft kindness, and grow discrepancy even when the person is sensitive or overwhelmed. There is a neutrality of approach that is warm and affirming, and really helped me to come back to center again and again.  When I'm on the cusp of understanding something or making a connection, you gently frame or elicit more details to help me reach a more solid, connected concept. AND you are so, so good at asking questions."

Mandy P., Associate Director, Washington (State) (Leadership Coaching)

"Christina models for others dignity and strength, and coaching through a collaborative inquiry approach. Christina has the competences to achieve nearly any goal or solve any problem in front of her, yet she's incredibly humble. She makes an excellent coach for professionals seeking to preserve through challenge, implement initiatives, or grow their leadership capacities through targeted support. I think she's a sort of healer that is also gifted with clarity of logic and discernment."

Natalie R. Director, New York (Leadership Coaching)
