We juggle numerous, competing demands and commitments on our time and energy and and every, single day.
As a result, increased complexity can lead to overwhelm, mistrust and burnout.
We need new ways of working–with ourselves and with each other.
A new way of working with our stress to build resilience instead.
A new way of working together that’s transparent, mindful and authentic, grounded in ethics and care: those human qualities that evoke and build trust at home and in the workplace.
A new way of doing business where profits are centered in purpose, where trust is cultivated and pragmatically trained, and where value is created when people engage to make their best contribution in the world.
A new way of being built on intentional, deliberate practice for the sake of a thriving, engaged future.
A new way, embodied learning and leadership.
Learn about Our Approach
Embodied learning, mindfulness-in-action, and conscious conversations work together to your success.
The Power of Embodied Learning
Traditional, off-the-shelf leadership programs tend to focus on theory yet fail to address the how of learning pragmatic skills for leadership, our sweet spot.
Embodied learning is hands-on, generative, whole-self learning that informs how you learn, the way you show up in the world, how your connect, communicate and collaborate with others, and ultimately, how you get the job done.
Embodied learning cultivates purpose, pragmatic wisdom, skillful action and leadership. Embodied learning cultivates Embodied Leadership.
As a leader, what kind of path are you creating?
Organizations reflect their leaders—how they see the world, the actions they take, their way of being and working in the world.
Team members will follow your lead. When your actions are congruent with your words, your presence produces trust, engagement, and right action.
Embodied learning will train you to
- Clarify your true purpose
- Communicate with influence and power
- Collaborate & delegate effectively
- Operate skillfully & efficiently
- Drive high-performance teamwork
Challenging times, extraordinary results.
Extraordinary leadership is a way of being that begins with attention and awareness.

Speaking
Self-awareness is at the very core of what it means to powerfully lead our lives. And, it lives in the quality of our conversations, first with ourselves, then with one another.
What our clients are saying…..
Hear from leaders who attended Forget Bitcoin, Conversation is the New Currency, about the importance of
Mindful Attention, 360° Awareness, and the Power of Conscious Conversations.
I’ve worked with Chris over the years, always a positive experience. Not only she was my executive coach, but also a facilitator to build our team dynamics on two different occasions. Given her classic training in psychology, mindfulness, and human-centered orientation, she proved skillful in addressing different challenges in variety of engagements. Personally, I felt Chris delivered a positive impact, and highly recommend her!
In the years that I’ve known Chris she has proven to be an exceptional coach and advisor. As a business owner it’s easy to get caught up in the details of the business and lose your perspective as to what’s really important in the long term. When I talk to Chris about what’s going on in my company and the issues I’m facing, I always seem to find the crucial breakthrough I need.
My sweet spot lives at the intersection of … supporting professional women and cultivating business leaders and their teams to become more mindful, conscious, powerful and on purpose.
To that end, I’m committed to extending the transformational work of embodied leadership to those committed to creating the future—their own and our collective life together.
As a catalyst, I question. I listen. I challenge my clients to spur them on, to spark their awareness and energy, and to grow their capacity and resilience as they blaze trails forward.
Connecting with passion and purpose, we create a momentum that’s unstoppable, resulting in personal and professional success that’s nothing short of extraordinary.
Through leadership coaching, speaking, training and workshops, I partner with exceptional people who dare to expand their learning, to transform who they are in order to create our future together.
Like you.
Here’s to your learning, your leadership.

Pssst, I can give you more time
The most common concern I hear from leaders of all stripes is, “There’s never enough time!” No time to respond to emails, follow up with people, attend every meeting, and indeed little time for an extra workout or catching your kid’s Zoom recital! Pause a moment to...
