Executive Coaching for high achievers!

LET'S MAKE YOUR VISION A REALITY!

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 encounter obstacles, make countless decisions, and at times 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 with whom to bounce ideas around 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 high achievers for over 20 years to help turn their visions into reality and reach their 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 professional certified coach, 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 two ways:

1. MAP Signature Coaching Program 

This 90-day program is fully customized to meet your unique, specific aspirations and 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 clarify your vision, goals, potential obstacles, and more. Through one-on-one coaching sessions, customizable tools, recommended resources, and email support, we will work closely together over the 90-day period to ensure you reach your goals and continue moving forward.

This program is ideal if you have a high-level goal or project and want an experienced partner to help you break it down into manageable pieces, design an action plan that honors your values and the realities of your life, provide ongoing accountability and support, and help you overcome obstacles and make course-corrections in real-time. Upon completion of the 90-day program, you have the option to renew or to become a retainer client (as-needed coaching calls throughout the year).

2. Coaching VIP 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 coaching intensive, we spend the day focused 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 Coaching VIP 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 Coaching VIP 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!

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!
