Practice Makes CultureTM
What you practice as a leadership team becomes organizational habit and forms the basis of your culture.

To speed the change of both conscious and unconscious behaviors for leaders and leadership teams, I facilitate sessions that provide a welcome space for leaders to practice adopting and refining new behaviors while getting their most critical work done.

Together, we model and apply lean-agile principles, incorporating deliberate practice and habit change theory to create lasting, positive organizational change that delivers real business results.

Practical Agility Creates Effective Delivery —
and Happier Humans
While there are many success patterns to pull from, transformation is itself a complex product. Practical application of lean and agile principles is needed to achieve the benefits promised by business agility (and agile, scaled agile, devops, digital, customer-centric) transformation.

I leverage a background in leading and coaching large-scale business agility transformations and early-stage startups to provide mentoring and coaching for transformation leaders, key change roles and stakeholders. My goal is to rapidly transfer critical skills to company leaders such that the culture of effective delivery is internally owned and sustaining.

Change Even Faster this Time
I love to work with executives who have previously sponsored and led change, who understand how to best engage external partners to speed learning and business agility adoption in their organization.

Business agility improves:

  • strategy deployment: increased speed, quality, and predictability in the delivery of critical business programs and products
  • clarity in vision, strategy and desired value
  • innovation and systems thinking throughout the organization
  • leadership team alignment
  • employee engagement

Makes the Impossible, Possible

"How often do leadership teams say, we can’t do "that", when really it’s a matter of not knowing how to do so effectively? “That” is defined as a thorough transformation of the current way of working and delivering value in order to keep pace and eventually accelerate past the competition. From years of experience coaching leadership teams of the Fortune 500 to see past the impossible, Christine has amassed a Rolodex of now industry leaders who lead, adapt and grow in ways they never thought possible. Ultimately Christine’s work has led to improved value creation--and frankly more rewarding leadership and culture--in many name brand organizations."

Trusted Partner

"Christine’s expert training and facilitation have helped my teams apply agile concepts to improve our business results: Other leaders clearly see the impact--and then ask how we got there. From the first session with Christine, leaders across the business work more transparently, more collaboratively, and deliver more effectively together. They have a better view of the overall system and critical tradeoffs, and clearly prioritize their work and focus to that. Christine’s engaging and positive style makes it easy for leaders to get started and keep practicing: It’s empowering and culture changing.  In addition to helping the whole team move forward, she’s also provided 1:1 coaching that’s helped me grow and improve as a leader. Christine and I have worked together on several programs over the past five years. She’s been a valuable and trusted partner each time."
