Do Your Best Work
I help high-achievers craft sustainable, joyful lives as leaders. We work together to transform the way that they manage the stress of their careers and the pressure of their busy lives. My clients improve the way they influence, motivate, and communicate with the people around them — and that dramatically shifts the way they lead and manage others.
My coaching is fast-paced: I take a no-holds-barred approach to helping people identify and resolve what is holding them back so that they can move forward quickly.
Dr. Christine Carter has worked with companies and organizations such as:
Raise Amazing Humans
I offer parents road-tested, science-based strategies for raising happy, healthy, and successful kids from grade school through college.
Get practical guidance for:
- providing the support and structure kids need (while still giving them the autonomy they seek)
- influencing and motivating kids who aren’t fulfilling their potential academically
- parenting teens and college students who are stressed, struggling, or unhappy
- strengthening your family by fostering character, keystone habits, and your family’s core values
Live Your Best Life
As coach I’ve seen very different types of people struggle with similar challenges. They get overwhelmed. They have trouble saying no. They take care of others before they take care of themselves. They question their careers, their parenting, their marriages, and their priorities. They check their phones constantly (while avoiding what might be more meaningful).
And then they feel like they aren’t good enough. But even though life is hectic and uncertain, they know what they want. They want to:
- Do meaningful work
- Focus on what’s important
- Have amazing relationships with our spouses, friends, and children
If this sounds like you, you’re an ideal candidate for personal coaching.
