Testimonials
Christine was my coach for over a year. With her calm, helpful, and joyful manner, she helped me reach goals that were important to me, and manage my commitments to job, family, and home. Thank you Christine!
Christine’s knowledge, focus, and calm energy were exactly what I needed to get me over my organizational hump. She combined compassion with structure, enabling me to complete my unpacking from a 3 year overseas assignment, while simultaneously tackling many memory filled hand-me-downs I had received from both my parents’ and brother’s downsizing. With Christine’s help, I successfully addressed my garage and basement, turning both into functional and organized spaces!
Christine offered a thoughtful, personalized approach to help me organize my space and, in turn, much more. She coaches without judgment and I was relieved to find that she was not working within the constraints of a preconceived organizational system. Instead, she used thought-provoking inquiries to help align my values and goals to put in place strategies that would best serve my family. I look forward to reorganizing with her as our needs evolve!
Years ago, I never would have imagined hiring a coach. I had all kinds of negative biases about “coaching” having trained as an MFT and later becoming a business owner. Then I found Christine Joseph. I was referred to Christine through a business colleague who I respected and who was herself a coach. I came to Christine with a very specific challenge. I wanted to plan for my future professional life as I got older but I had no idea what I wanted to do. For the past three plus months, Christine and I have been meeting once a week and during our time together I have gained enormous clarity and executed on a number of tasks that had previously kept me stuck. Christine is first and foremost an incredible active listener. She has a talent for reflecting, asking thought-provoking questions and seizing the themes of what she’s hearing so that she can catch and bring to my awareness what I am unable to see myself, about myself. She has helped me clarify, understand and resolve what gets in my way so that I can take the next step, and the next after that. Christine recognizes how I think – very linearly – and how I feel about myself – not comfortable in the unknown – and communicates back to me in a way that I can hear and assimilate. More than all her professional talents, she is warm, wise, friendly, kind, patient, and extremely encouraging (but not syrupy). Her gentle and practical approach to coaching has changed the way I see myself as well as given me a new appreciation for the value of this type collaborative work. Best of all, she is helping me see who it is I want to be in this phase of my life as a professional and as a human being. I will always be grateful to her.
Christine has been coaching me for the last several months. She’s an incredibly supportive and present partner as I work to build awareness on the parts of my life I hope to grow and change. She has a keen ability to listen closely, and then ask me just the right question that spurs insight in me. Perhaps what I love most about her coaching is the way she combines kindness and open-hearted candor in her inquiry of my journey. It’s so helpful.
