Having Christy as my coach is one of the most revealing and transformational experience I am blessed to have. Coach Christy encompasses all the skills and qualities we all dream of in a coach. She posses professionalism, a keen ability to “hone in” on details and listen to what is not being said. She is very compassionate and empathetic and at the same time honest and forthright in keeping me accountable and on track.

Her laughter and sense of humor brighten my day.  After every coaching session I feel better about myself, hopeful, and joyful. It helps to know that coach Christy; a woman of her caliber, has the patience, insight, compassion, and healing presence to guide and support me in accomplishing my goals. I could not imagine not having coach Christy in my life.

Coach Christy is the DMV areas best-kept secret; though I do not believe for very long.

“Best executive coach ever”

I initially began our relationship looking for a “tune-up”. Thankfully and thank God, you helped me appreciate balloon rides. Because of you, I am reaping the benefits of panoramic, self-awareness, and improved strategic thinking.

I’ll fly with you anytime.

Thank you so very much!!!

Working with Christy, you definitely feel like you have an ally and cheerleader. She helped me gain valuable insight into challenges I’m facing and when one of those challenges arises, her voice is in my head helping me figure out the best way to handle it.

I sought executive coaching to help me get through a tough project, but I got so much more. Christy was my coach when the pandemic began so we touched on so many issues – managing difficult staff and deadlines, supporting staff (and myself) through crises, and race, just to name a few. She brought so much compassion, wisdom, and humor to the myriad issues that I enjoyed my sessions even when she pushed me to take on uncomfortable topics. With Christy as your coach I can guarantee that you will grow and even like it!

I’m at a loss for words as to how Christy my life Coach impacted my life and my relationships. She is so worthy of your weight in gold. She has a versatile tool box that can help anyone gain clarity, make great change, and create next steps while having a supportive ear by your side. She is the complete package: focused, reflective, practical, productive, and supportive. I so look forward to and enjoy our conversations that I’m having a hard time saying goodbye. I told her sooner than later that I won’t be able to afford her. She is that valuable! Thank you for helping me overcome & become a better me!

I hired Christy as a coach after being passed up for a promotion. I got great feedback about what I could work on to be better positioned for future promotions, but then didn’t know what to do with it, what next step to take! Christy helped me put the feedback into its proper context, take needed action in some areas while also helping me to acknowledge and own my strengths. Christy is a coaching force to be reckoned with! She’ll calm you, help focus you and champion you all while holding you accountable to the agenda you set. She is the complete coaching package and I am so grateful to have found her and to call her my coach! PS A few short months after I hired Christy as my coach, another promotion opportunity did come up and this time, I was ready!!

I started working with Christy at the beginning of Covid. As a small business owner I was freaked by the prospect of not having any new business. Working with a coach was a new experience for me and I was a little bit of a skeptic, truth be told. Now I am a total believer! Christy listens and in this amazing way helps to guide you to find professional solutions. She is a great sounding board and will help you realize to your fullest potential. My business has picked up since working with Christy and it isn’t a coincidence. Working with Christy has helped me grow both my confidence and my communication skills. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Deeply Grateful!

I have worked with Christy over the past year and she is amazing! I initially started working with her to learn to better balance career and family being a working mom of three. I felt like I was losing sight of what I enjoyed doing and who I was. As we started working together, my work life started to explode and the stress was unbearable, all in the midst of COVID and shifts at home. Working with Christy was nothing short of a God send. Christy is insightful, patient, highly professional and clearly talented and empathetic. She used these skills during each session to help me gain/regain perspective and clarity and take control of what I could. I learned more about myself and gained a significant amount of professional insight. Working with Christy I’ve learned skills to care for myself and make the most of tough work environments, even thriving, despite the challenges. She guides you to practical tips while helping you see your strengths and building your confidence to continue to change. I am so very grateful for Christy’s approach and skills and highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Christy!

Christy provides outstanding coaching services to anyone aspiring to become a leader. I’ve been with her for a year, her sage advice has been invaluable to my career. I highly recommend her!
