As achievers, we aim high – big dreams, bold goals, impactful leadership roles – wanting to make a positive difference and help as many people as possible along the way.

Yet when we’re aiming high and taking big swings, we can also – often surprisingly – feel like we’re going it alone. We make countless decisions, encounter obstacles, and at times can feel like we’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders.

And even though we’re capable, competent achievers, we can find ourselves wishing we had someone to provide support and insights, talk through ideas and challenges, share expertise and best practices, and help shorten our learning/achievement curve.

That’s where I come in.

***********

I’m Dr. Christine Hegstad – you can call me Christi – and I’ve been partnering with achievers for over 20 years to turn their visions into reality and reach their bold goals with clarity, confidence, and meaningful action.

I have also been a business owner for all that time, and a leader for even longer, so I understand firsthand the joys, challenges, and numerous responsibilities that achievers face at any given time.

Whether you lead a team or a company, direct a nonprofit, run your own business, or are pursuing a passion project of your own design, I can help you define and achieve your highest vision of success – all while maintaining your positivity, honoring your values and priorities, and fulfilling your desire to make a difference.

Sound impossible? Believe me, it’s not. As an experienced and ICF-credentialed Professional Certified Coach (PCC), I’ve got a proven track record of success – over two decades’ worth now – and I’d love to partner with you to make your vision a reality, too.

HOW COACHING WORKS:

We can work together in one of three ways:

1. Executive Coaching

Designed specifically for experienced executives, business owners, nonprofit directors, and key leaders, this high-level coaching is fully customized to address your specific goals and needs. Typically starting with a six-month engagement, we will get crystal-clear on your goals and challenges, devising a coaching program tailored to reach your desired outcomes. We can incorporate your organizational mission and goals, development plans, feedback reports, strategy sessions, assessments, and other components important to your success into this coaching partnership.

In addition to building your personal leadership brand and expanding skills for your meaningful success, a variety of other topics can be addressed in executive coaching such as strong decision-making, creating a meaningful work environment for engaged employees, greater work/life balance, exceptional time management, purposeful productivity, and more. A limited number of executive coaching spaces are available; contact my office to arrange a discovery session or discuss availability.

2. Bold Goal Coaching 

This three-month coaching program will help you clarify and prioritize your bold and meaningful goals, then craft the action plan, provide the ongoing support, and share the tools and insights to get you from where you are to where you want to be. Before we even begin, you’ll receive a detailed Coaching Self-Assessment designed to help you discern your vision, goals, potential obstacles, and more. Through one-on-one coaching sessions (typically two per month), customizable tools, recommended resources, and email support, we will work closely together to help ensure you reach your goals and continue moving forward.

This program is ideal for high-achievers and -performers, entrepreneurs, established or emerging leaders, or any motivated professionals ready to achieve a bold and meaningful goal or project. I will help you design an action plan that honors your values and the realities of your life, provide ongoing accountability and support, and support you in overcoming obstacles and making course-corrections in real-time. Upon completion of the three-month program, you have the option to renew or to become a retainer client (as-needed coaching calls throughout the year).

3. Kickstart Coaching Day

This option is perfect if you know you can take a plan and run with it – you just need help getting it clearly mapped out and started. In this one-day coaching intensive, we focus 100% on your vision, action plan, anticipated opportunities and obstacles, and whatever else your specific goal requires to get you off and running. If you’ve never set aside a dedicated day with a trusted and experienced partner to focus solely on your meaningful achievement, you are in for a treat!

Your Kickstart Coaching Day includes a Coaching Self-Assessment, clear agenda and objectives for the day, one-on-one coaching, and additional tools and resources to support your continued success. We’ll meet virtually or in person (your preference) and also enjoy a delicious lunch and time for reflection and processing, too. Upon completion of the Kickstart Coaching Day, you can head off on your own or become a retainer client (as-needed coaching calls throughout the year).

IS COACHING RIGHT FOR YOU?

If this resonates with you, contact my office and we can address any questions, discuss timing and availability, and help you decide which program will serve you and your unique situation best. I work with a select number of people in private coaching, so if openings are not available when you reach out, we’ll let you know when the next opportunity will be so you can plan accordingly.

THE JOY IN PARTNERSHIP:

I spent far too long going it alone myself, knowing – as an achiever – that I could eventually figure things out. Hiring a coach felt uncertain – what could they help me do that I couldn’t do myself? – and, to be honest, a bit scary.

But when I did go ahead and hire my first professional coach, I could hardly believe what I began to experience and accomplish. I loved the shortened learning curves, faster results, proven strategies, helpful tools, and simply the knowledge of having someone in my corner with whom to brainstorm and see things from different perspectives. My work, leadership, and life were forever changed.

So even though I am a Professional Certified Coach and have been for many years now, you’ll rarely find me without a coach myself – for all these reasons and more!

I commend you for considering this powerful form of professional and personal development, and I’d love to help you achieve your big dreams and bold goals. Contact my office today and let’s make your vision a reality!
