Shift It

It’s a mild winter here in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada now. We had our snowstorm over the holidays but now it’s the usual rain, rain, rain (which keeps the trees green). Its perfect weather for the cocooning I am doing — holed away putting my Certified Visual Coaches from 2011 through their final exit exams. Part of which is listening to them coach a client and review their visual map of the session. I can’t tell you how much joy it brings me to witness the high quality work that they are doing.  Such integrity, skill and passion.  And they add innovations too, things I haven’t thought of doing with new twists to my processes.  I am SO EXCITED about the Visual Coach Community that is building and the ripple effect we have globally. Makes my social change heart warm! … Continue reading →

“THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING JOURNEY WITH YOUR SUPPORT CHRISTINA!” Sylvie Kwayeb Fagon Certified Visual Coach® Plouezoc “My connection with visual thinking and tools started years ago with Mindmapping. In 2009, I came across your website and that was it! I started with The SHIFT-IT Home Retreat Kit. Was impressed with its quality and the results that unfolded after using it. I then enrolled in Fundamentals of Interactive-Visuals online (very comprehensive and full of great resources, from drawing to business choices. And it was fun too!) From there I joined The SHIFT-IT Online Group (supportive and respectful with people from all around the world – wonderful) I then committed myself to Visual Coach Certification®. Again a group with a high level of competence and humanity. Very well organized and professional. Even more than what I was expecting. I experienced the … Continue reading →

Our FOCUS is key in creating new things in our lives — whether it’s a visual-based hobby or profession, or a more satisfying and less reactive life. And, being surrounded by like-minded people who are also in the process of manifesting what we ourselves want is a POWERFUL way to speed our rate of change. This season I have created two unique PROCESS CONTAINERS … intelligent, efficient and safe programs to do your professional and personal growth in. They are … THE MAGIC MARKER MASTERMIND (for visual practitioners ready to successfully up-level the use of Interactive-Visuals in your own work); THRIVE IN THE TIME OF AWAKENING (a co-offering with THEO and Sheila & Marcus Gillette that teaches you how to identify and heal negative core beliefs and internal fragmentation); Both these programs are filling now with start dates in February … Continue reading →

2012 started with a whimper (me in bed with a nasty flu … hate it when I get time off and that happens) but now it’s off to a BANG … with lots of course registrations and private coaching & private training inquiries flooding in. Every year the appreciation of and interest in Interactive-Visuals grows … whether its via its use in scribing, facilitation, coaching … or other processes. I am so LOVING my younger self who made the decision many moons ago to pursue her passion! As not only did I get turned onto a methodology that brings me great satisfaction but now I get to turn on others from around the world to this WONDERFUL way to work too. Given the number of inquiries my team and I are fielding, I thought it was timely to write an … Continue reading →

“THE WORK ITSELF IS QUITE PROFOUND BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY” “New to graphic recording, I have found that the work itself is quite profound both professionally and personally. After taking the Fundamentals of Interactive-Visuals, I took the opportunity to meet with Christina for a 1:1 coaching session. Her ability to listen and share the type of resources I needed to take my next steps has launched me into sharing new ideas at work and fulfill myself personally through further training in interactive graphics. I’m currently taking the SHIFT-IT Online Group and short of turning into a navel-gazer, I’m discovering my true essence, what motivates me, and how I can embrace my highest potential. I look forward to experiencing what the coming weeks will bring and how I can apply my “new found self” to my existing life in new ways. … Continue reading →
