Who We Are
Christina Howard
Founder & CEO
Christina Howard is an executive coach, leadership strategist, and founder of Intently. She partners with high-achieving, emotionally intelligent leaders who want their success to feel as meaningful on the inside as it looks on paper.
Before she ever stepped into boardrooms, Christina spent several years performing in a traditional three-ring circus—complete with aerial silks and high-stakes trust falls. That chapter taught her how to hold tension with grace and stay grounded under pressure—skills she now brings into every coaching conversation and leadership room.
With two decades of experience across Fortune 500 companies and global brands, Christina blends sharp business insight with deep emotional intelligence. Her keynote and coaching work—including The High Achiever’s Paradox—helps leaders elevate self-awareness, lead with intention, and redefine success in a way that’s sustainable and aligned.
Through her signature Lead From Within™ method, she helps clients align outer results with inner values—so they can lead with clarity, presence, and purpose. Christina coaches senior executives 1:1, facilitates group cohorts like The High Achiever’s Lab, and speaks on energy, leadership alignment, and the inner work of achievement.
She’s also a former Board President of Rosie’s House, a for-purpose organization providing access to high-quality music education for youth.
