As an HR Executive and a Digital leader, Sarah is well-versed in large system change.
In her corporate leadership role, she’s responsible for large digital transformation projects across HR … sometimes several at the same time!
It was my sacred task in Visual Coach Certification to hold space for her. Give her the room, resources, and structure to wade into the deep end with this creative methodology.
“I was a very creative kid in my younger years (drawing, coloring, dance, choreography). Unfortunately, I inadvertently put it all away when I entered university, having a view in my head about what it would mean to be a ‘professional’ for my future career.
My creative reawakening began with scrapbooking. Then weaving visual thinking techniques (such as creating explainer visuals and graphic recording) into my corporate job, including describing the culture and behaviours for a new business unit.
Thanks to a very encouraging boss, we used my ‘system pictures’ to demonstrate a business case for a technology investment, and to show our Board the knock-on impact of making a change to ways of working. Now I have to navigate the requests I get to help others in my organization communicate through visuals too.
Coaching is an obvious upskill for an HR professional with an eye on opportunities both within and beyond the corporate world — I did Christina’s trainings to see if it was a ‘should’ or a legitimate want. The courses were excellent, and yes, I do love coaching, especially with visuals!
I found her SHIFT-IT Visual Coaching System to be massively helpful and transformational, not only with clients, but with myself. It is a sophisticated system — from beginning to end, it all comes together to produce a powerful shift in thinking, feeling and action.
Christina uses Case Studies with experiential application as her training device. I found this real-world modeling to be the beauty of this program. Being able to watch her sketch the maps with all sorts of people, in all sorts of circumstances.
Thank you to the generous volunteers who enabled our learning. I so appreciate you and your authentic journeys.
I leave this program excited and optimistic — with years of experience in HR, digital leadership, organizational development and change, I’m passionate about helping people navigate a world facing extraordinary change and feel uniquely placed to do that given the intersection of my skills, passions and experience.”
