What People Are Saying
“Working with Christine was a wonderful experience. I found her to be insightful and compassionate. I was often astonished at how quickly her questions cut to the heart of the issues we discussed. Our time together greatly expanded and deepened my image of myself and taught me that I am capable of more than I had given myself credit.”
— Bernadette N., coaching client
“As a founding Executive Director who had zero experience in nonprofit leadership or management, Christine helped me have a better understanding of where my organization’s business stands. She is incredibly knowledgable with multitudes of aspects of nonprofits.”
