Hi, I'm Christy

At my core, I'm a leader, a teacher, and an intuitively grounded human being who has lived enough life to know the difference between surface-level success and the real thing.

My gift is helping leaders see a greater version of themselves.

It's what made me successful as a Commander in the U.S. Coast Guard, leading hundreds of people as a crisis manager.

And it's what allowed me to coach over 300 enterprise leaders across 20 countries since 2020.

I had to learn the hard way that high achievement without self-care is self-destruction.

I've learned that achieving high levels of success without arriving with your mental and physical health is pointless.

And that working endless hours to leave an inheritance for future generations while working 80 hours a week and not actually knowing the generation is a waste of time. 

I'm sure these are all lessons that relentless high achievers have to learn the hard way. 

My aim is to change that and assist leaders with honest self-reflection during their insatiable quest for the next goal.

To get leaders to prioritize their health and their relationships so when they arrive at "the top" it will all have meaning.

I feel like I've lived countless lives in this lifetime and there's so much to share.

I'm glad you're here to check out my journey and I hope you'll choose to work with us to make your journey better.
