“Thank you so much for all your support and amazing coaching and workshops. The skills learned from you have really helped me to improve my leadership, secure a multimillion dollar grant and keep going.”
"The workshop was just a lot more interactive and there were some good practical exercises that I enjoyed. For example, I took away lots of tips on exercises including stillness and active mindfulness - that will help me to implement breaks in my very busy life. I really enjoyed the course both the online component and the 3-day face-to-face workshop. I've learned how to recognise and draw on my innate strengths and those of my team."
"I really liked this workshop because even though it's helping me with my Ph.D., I really think the takeaway messages can be applied to so many aspects of life; relationships, career, health."
"Christine and Elizabeth are vibrant, enthusiastic leaders. Each module of the program left me eager for the next as l incorporated new strategies into my day-to-day working and personal worlds."

Christine’s ability to see the big picture while focusing on the details has been instrumental in helping me create a life and business that reflect my values and aspirations.
From helping me refine my mindset with powerful tools like "I BE" statements to encouraging me to pursue bold new ventures like launching a kite festival and writing my books, Christine has been an unwavering source of support and inspiration. Her insight into balancing personal growth, relationships, and professional goals is unparalleled, and she has a unique ability to meet me exactly where I am while pushing me toward my highest potential.
Christine’s coaching goes beyond strategies—she fosters genuine connection and accountability. She celebrates my wins, no matter how small, and helps me see challenges as opportunities for growth.

I am deeply grateful for the progress I’ve made under Christine’s guidance. Her support has allowed me to embrace my identity, trust my instincts, and believe in my ability to inspire and lead others.
