Christine is super-high bandwidth.

BILL GATES

CCA has made a huge difference in the growth of our company, the level of leadership across the team, the sense of ownership in all of our employees. In addition, they are helping me perform at new levels I had not known were possible. The results have been remarkable. Our employees are more engaged and taking greater initiative, our emerging leaders are learning how to be more effective and are mentoring their reports to be the same, and our company is reaping the substantial benefits. We are on track to double our eight-digit revenue in the coming year. Thanks, CCA!

MICHAEL VANERDEWYK, CEO, ReliaMax

Whatever business challenge weve come up with, Christine and the CCA team have worked through it beforeand often across multiple industries. CCAs tools and techniques are practical, easy to apply, and super impactful. Whether its company-wide accountability and incentive plans, sales process and strategy, marketing measurement and effectiveness, or cultural programs to increase engagement, CCA has tools and past ROI measurements for each investment we consider making. Thanks, CCAheres to our next level of growth together!

KRISTIN RICHMOND, CEO, Revolution Foods

From our first conversation, Christine asked me questions no coach or consultant ever had. In the first ninety days we created and communicated a compelling new mission, vision, and set of valueswhich tangibly increased engagement and alignment within our entire company, launched a vibrant innovation programwhich yielded the first results within forty-eight hoursand rolled out new accountability structures. Our leaders are more focused, more clear in their communication and directives, more accountable, and more influential; most importantly, the energy behind the innovative process is palpable. CCA has positively and profoundly positioned us for future growth.

JEFF HOFFMAN,
Vice President/General Manager, Baxter Manufacturing

CCA has helped us up our own high expectations of ourselves. We have streamlined our sales process and provided our team with new tools and techniques, our marketing is more effective and ROI-focused than ever, and our implementation process is tight and run by a cross-functional team. The best part is that I have more energy, focus, and time than ever before. Our new incentive plans, accountability structure, executive team code of conduct, ranking of high- and low-value activities, and other techniques have provided the executive team members with five to ten hours of strategic time per person each week. I knew we had a great team, and I see now that theyre capable of far more than I couldve dreamed. Thanks, CCA!

JASON BEANS, CEO, Rising Medical Solutions

When I first met Christine I wasnt sure what the return on investment in coaching could truly be. Now I know what it is: I think bigger working with Christinewe will double (or greater) our revenue this year as a result of my increased ability to create new strategies, expand my vision, see into my blind spots. She helped me create accountability structures and communication rhythms so everyone is aligned and charging forward. In less than 120 days we closed the largest deal in our companys history using the strategy Christine and I created together. I know whats going to happen nextwell exceed our sales quota. Again. This is now how we roll. Thanks, CCA! Thanks, Christine!

SHARON MACDONALD, CEO, Interim Furnishings

The results have been terrific. In our first six months working together, Christine helped me delegate low-value activities and gain fifteen hours of strategic time per week, optimize our sales pipeline and process, get me out of stress and into peace and increased performance, and streamline both marketing and account management. Christine is personable, creative, extremely intuitive, and understands the steps needed for a company to consistently grow. I highly recommend CCA for any organization that wants to take their company to the next level and build a great team.

GAIL TOLSTOI-MILLER, CEO, Consultnetworx

Ive been in boardrooms around the world, and Ive been in the C-suite for many years. I thought Id learned a great deal about leadership and culture in my roles as COO and CFO at Patagonia, and CEO at Smith & Hawken. Then I met Christine. Our team has come together in a way I couldnt have imagined prior to coaching with CCA. We now have the right people in the right roles with the right tools on the right initiatives. Our revenue and profitability is rapidly growing; our culture is rich, honest, and thriving; and our team is rising up and performing at unparalleled levels. I always knew we had this in us! Thanks for helping us to help ourselves, CCA.

KARYN BARSA, CEO, Coyuchi

Christine has been very effective in helping me establish a strong meeting and communication rhythm, which has increased our teams morale and improved our culture. She has provided practical advice on rewards/consequences and increasing our alignment. We have implemented systems to improve our accountability, which has led to our largest pipeline in history and more proactive sales activity across the firm. I am really excited about where we are going and greatly appreciate all that Christine is doing for us.

SCOTT EISENBERG, Managing Partner, Amherst Partners, LLC

Working with CCA has made a huge positive difference for us in sales, marketing, culture, operational efficiency, and leadership overall. Our sales plan is now streamlined, and our reps have compelling new incentives. Weve put in place a solid ROI structure and can cost-justify our marketing. As a result of our work with CCA I have increased visibility of each department and can help guide our company more effectively. Operational efficiency at our company has reached a new leveland were raising the bar. The best part is that our culture is deepening, our team is emotionally engaged, and we know where were going and how to get there.

Our team loves working with Christine. They are now more aligned, are closely tracking to our goals, and are more emotionally engaged and accountable. Weve recently had the two best months of our history, and the trend continues upward. Were on track to significantly increase revenue and profitability in the coming year.

SABETAY PALATCHI, CEO, General Financial

Id heard about executive coaching for a while, yet was fairly skeptical regarding the return on investment. Within the first six months my leadership style evolved in ways I couldnt have imagined. Using the tools Ive gained from CCA, especially the neuroscience rapport techniques, I now more quickly and deeply connect with our team, clients, and prospects. The inquiry techniques have enabled me to more rapidly create a culture of leadership at all levels, helping our team to take greater ownership faster. Our profit is soaring and our people are performing at record levels. Thanks, CCA, for helping us to grow into who wed always hoped to be.
