Coaching

Work with meaning, live with purpose, and achieve bold + difference-making goals!

MAKE YOUR DIFFERENCE WITH MEANING AND PURPOSE

Ready to take a longtime dream, big idea, exciting-but-scary goal, or even a quiet-yet-persistent whisper of possibility off the shelf and bring it to life?

Want to bring greater meaning to – and make a stronger difference through – your work, leadership, and/or community involvement?

Wish you had a succinct and inspiring answer to questions like ‘How are you honoring what matters most?’ or ‘What makes your work meaningful?’ or ‘What is the difference you’re here to make?’

Wonder what it would be like to have the clarity, confidence, encouragement, accountability, and practical tools to create or achieve something that would make the world better – for you, your family, your organization, your community, and beyond?

I am here to help. For over 20 years, I have coached thousands of clients to get unstuck, design a clear vision for the future, and take the practical, purposeful actions to make that vision a reality. 

I have the systems, tools, track record, education, training, and expertise to help you engage in meaningful work, live a purposeful life, and achieve your bold and difference-making goals, too.

If you’d love a partner to help you make your difference – at work, at home, in leadership, and in life – and in the most meaningful and purposeful way possible, let’s talk.

New to coaching? Here’s what you can expect:

* A brief Discovery Session by phone to ensure coaching is right for you and that my expertise matches your needs.

* A detailed Coaching Self-Assessment to help bring clarity to your ideas, vision, challenges, and possibilities before we even begin.

* One-on-one coaching sessions with me, Dr. Christi Hegstad, an ICF-credentialed Professional Certified Coach with a doctorate in Human Resource Development and over 20 years of experience.

* Customizable Planning + Tracking workbook, filled with over 70 pages of tools, resources, charts, exercises, and insights to support your forward-movement during our work together and well into the future, too. 

* A unique Core Values Clarification, designed to help you clarify and honor what matters most – a key component of meaningful achievement.

* Accountability check-ins between coaching sessions, if desired, to help you stay on course and address items as they arise.

* Materials, resources, book recommendations, and more as needed based on your goals and objectives.

Together we will clarify where you are and where you want to be, clearly define what ‘success’ means for you, explore your strengths and challenges, create a practical action plan, and make it happen – course-correcting and celebrating all along the way! Coaching engagements typically run three to six months, with the opportunity to renew or to proceed on your own from there.

I have coached leaders, executives, academics, business owners, nonprofit directors, CEOs, managers, volunteers, and professionals in nearly any industry you can imagine. My clients have written books, hosted retreats, built positive work cultures, launched programs and businesses and nonprofits, exceeded revenue goals, earned certifications, elevated careers, become elected officials, transformed companies, and so much more.

And while achieving their goals, clients also repeatedly express the ‘intangible’ benefits they experience like increased clarity, higher confidence, more intentional action, improved communication, better time management, a stronger sense of purpose, and a more positive mindset, to name just a few.

Sound like just what you need? Email my office to check availability, to enroll in the coaching program that’s right for you, or to set up a complimentary Discovery Session to get all of your questions answered.  

Let’s bring meaning to work, purpose to life, and make a difference together!

With renewed clarity, vision, and focus, I can't thank Christi enough. Through working with her, I have the tools necessary to keep me true to a life full of meaning and purpose!

Thank you for your coaching, belief, and encouragement that has led me to play big in 2018. There is no way I would have had the same mindset, confidence, and goals for myself this year after my cancer battle if I hadn't hired you as my coach. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Working with Christi, I have learned how to identify and prioritize what matters most, freed up hours each month to focus more purposefully on my team and my executive role, and I feel the most confident I ever have. Coaching has been truly life-changing and I am so thankful for it!
