"Having a coach is like having a running partner--yet I always get to decide what time I run and how I run. In some ways it is even better because of the solitude and independence I have. I create the time schedule from day to day, yet you, as coach, support and challenge me to stay on the track. I love the freedom that you give me as a coach to creatively design a process of working toward honoring my priorities." Teresa, Wife, Mother, Educator

"Being coached by Christine is hard work--it's also a very gentle and affirming process. Instead of flaking out when it got tough, as with more ephemeral, less tangible self-improvement projects, I had the tools to dig deeper and search for the root of my life satisfaction. Together, we set measurable, achievable goals. Christine was there with me, progressing along our path and holding me accountable to the promises I made to her and to myself. We systematically brushed away tolerations and confusion to find a brilliant core of what makes me happy. These skills will continue to boot-strap me up in times of chaos and keep me focused on the big picture even when life is coming up roses." Anne, Fundraiser

"Christine helped me realize I know more than I think I do when it comes to fundraising. Working with her provided me the opportunity to step back from my crazy day-to-day work routine, and take the time to stop, think through the entire process, look at the bigger picture, and work towards implementing a refreshed approach to my fundraising activities. Spending the time and focusing on what will ultimately help me and my institution achieve fund-raising success was extremely beneficial. Working with Christine provided me with the same type of motivation to improve one gets after attending a really great conference. The biggest difference is while working with Christine, the motivation to improve is sustained week after week!" Mark, Assistant Dean for Development
