Loyal Leaders Lab

Own and Deliver All of Who You Are

We work with individuals and leadership teams if this sounds like you or your organization...

You desire impact, influence and connection. It's time to integrate each piece of yourself into how you show up as a leader.  Despite conventional narrative, there is no “one” way to be a great leader.  There is a way that works for you and allows you to attract the best team for you and your company.  A team that gets great results and has fun while doing it.

We believe that the best results come from continuity and high engagement.
That's why we've developed sessions that maximize both.

THE CHALLENGE:

You are stuck at a certain level of success in life or work.
You want to experience peace and prosperity at the same time; not one at the expense of the other
You’ve invested in coaches or training that haven't delivered on promises, and you’re ready for something impactful that will actually support you in your achieving your goals

As someone who has had external success and notable accomplishments so far, you still feel like something is missing. You may be experiencing thoughts like...

When will work and ambition be enough?
How can I feel better about how I’m showing up as a leader, parent, friend, or partner??
Where can I get good feedback from people I trust that helps me grow?
Where do I go/what do I do next?

If you describe yourself as a life-long learner, you’re already on the right path. Time for a guide. It takes digging deeper into your personal motivations and unearthing your personal strengths to truly feel fulfilled and reach that next level. Let's get you there.

THE SOLUTION

Take the next step and make a difference to those that matter most to you.
We recognize and embrace the fact that leadership is not a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we take the time to help you truly see, hear, and understand you. Then, we'll help you integrate that new understanding into how you show up in leadership and life. By joining the Intently cohort, you immediately connect to a community of people just like you. Those focused on others, doing good work, and making a positive impact.

HOW WE DO IT:

We teach and help you implement proven strategies that will:

Increase your energy, influence and confidence.
Guide you to get the most out of your life, beyond and in addition to your career.
Feel confident in knowing your next step and the positive impact it will have on you and the people you care most about.

THE ENGAGEMENT:

We believe that the best results come from continuity and high engagement. That's why we've developed sessions that maximize both.

Weekly, in-person or virtual, interactive group coaching sessions within our invite only cohort.
A warm environment that encourages you to express your challenges and create paths for growth.
Maximum of 12 participants in each cohort to ensure you get a personalized experience.
Access to our Modern Leadership Lab materials, videos and practical tools and take-aways as you move through the experience.

You have your own brand, voice, and mindset. We can help you increase your influence and confidence by clearing the path for your personal development. It’s time to own and deliver all of who you are.

The word relax and who I am has always been a contentious point for me. I've never been able to relax. I'm always going. I'm always on the move. I'm doing things personally. I'm doing things professionally. I'm growing businesses. So relax has never been an option for me up until now. I just came out of the Modern Leadership Lab and learned so much about myself. And I've actually found myself a little bit more able to relax into who I am. You see, I'm an overachiever and like many other overachieving friends, we are all working on something. Coming out of this cohort, I felt a sense of gratitude toward the Intently team that has put this together. If you’re an overachiever like me, you need to join the Modern Leadership Lab.

Team Engagements

Inspire A Cohesive Team With a Passion For Results

Create a place where employees and leaders want to work, know how to communicate, and achieve big results together.

THE CHALLENGE:
The team is not as energized, productive, or effective as you know it can be.
You want to do big things and you want your team to feel a sense of purpose and connection while avoiding burn-out.
You want to be the boss nobody leaves

As a leader, you are loyal to your people. You know that the productivity of your team correlates to their workplace experience and impacts their lives and their families. You may be experiencing thoughts like...

How can I get my team excited about the work?
How can I build connection and loyalty within departments?
What can I do to understand my people on a deeper level that allows me to lead them better?
How do I increase productivity when it feels like my team is stuck?
How do I get my team to talk TO each other and not ABOUT each other?

If you have thought about how to lead your team through these challenges and come out stronger, we can help you build your personalized solution.

THE SOLUTION:

Increase team understanding, responsibility, and empathy to create bridges that lead to better results.

Intently will take a look at your current state and truly listen to  your goals. Then, we’ll create a semi-custom program for you that will improve and lead to positive and measurable change rapidly and effectively. Not only will the bridges you and your teams build together increase communication and build trust, but the speed of your results and quality of your connections will genuinely surprise you.

HOW WE DO IT:

Like leadership, training is not a one size fits all solution.
Our programs consistently and powerfully increase alignment and achievement by creating bridges for connection in three ways:

Improving individual self awareness, acceptance, and empathy
Increasing individual ability to understand others and value differing perspectives
Facilitating individual capabilities in getting clear and candid with each other

We do not believe in being polite at the expense of progress. This is one of the most challenging areas a team needs to overcome in order to get the results you want. 

We help you through every step of the process to ensure a positive and successful transformation of your team's ability to communicate, relate, and get the results you want.

OUR SIMPLE PROCESS:
We listen to your current challenges and where you want to take your team and build a semi custom program specific to your needs and goals.
We take care of the communication for the event or series and set your team up for success and an enjoyable experience - unlike any other workshop or development programs you’ve participated in the past.
We adapt for a virtual, distributed team or an in person team or a hybrid. We make the experience fun, engaging, impactful, and thought provoking.
We send follow-up materials and tools that increase on the job transfer and integration.

Bryce Peterson, EVP, CTO & CFO at UTI:Christina facilitated a year-long seminar series for my IT Leadership and Management team, and the unanimous feedback was that it was the best coaching and training that each person had received thus far in their career! Christina was always well prepared; adjusted the content and pace to the needs of the team; developed relationships of professional trust with each participant; and brought an unmatched level of energy and passion to the experience. The seminar series was so successful that we have successfully sustained the team improvements, and we retained Christina to continue coaching one of our high-potential leaders to ensure continued growth and development. Christina's 1:1 coaching has proven equally valuable/effective and has made a noticeable difference for our high-potential leader.

1:1 Coaching

Take yourself further and reach higher with your team.

We can only develop our team to the level of our awareness and development.Your leadership style fosters loyalty and your team gladly follows your path. But, you know that’s not everything, and you need to figure out what’s missing or where else you’d like to grow.

THE CHALLENGE:

You want to achieve meaningful results inside and outside of your organization but you’re not sure where to focus
You want to attract high achieving team members and grow your team to the next level, but aren’t sure what your standards are.
You want to inspire and empower those around you to truly enjoy their work and have a positive impact on their lives.

THE SOLUTION:

Understanding the challenge is half of the solution.

Christina will work with you to create clarity and embrace who you actually are and implement strategies that allow you to become more successful in all areas. We do this through practical exercises that increase your self-awareness, promote acceptance, and maximize your strengths for the benefit of others.

Please note:
One to One Coaching with Christina is not for the faint of heart. Christina is candid and kind and sometimes referred to as “the velvet hammer.” All of this is done in support of your goals and who you say you want to be. She holds the space and keeps the sessions focused on your agenda. Our powerful partnership will challenge you to be your true self and support your goals around peace and prosperity.

Get Clear, Get Candid, Get Connected to Relationships AND Results.

My initial vision around executive coaching was mostly isolated to how I could improve as a leader, enhance my influence, personal brand, and elevate my overall strategic thinking. I can confidently say each of these specific areas have improved.  I didn’t anticipate the growth personally from a family, husband, son, and father perspective. It’s helped me to grow and invest differently in each of my relationships, which has translated into stronger and more dynamic relationships across each of my close family members.  Intently is about integrating each piece of yourself, professional and personal, so that you can come as a whole person to life. I found that balance.

KIM ZENER, IT LEADER- AGILEST

Christina is the most effective coach and trainer I've ever worked with. Imagine 15 IT leaders (most analytical/tactical people) held up in multiple all day sessions learning how to increase emotional intelligence, lean into conflict, open up to others about their values, challenges, weaknesses and strengths. Now imagine that same group of leaders two years later still utilizing her tools to work through conflicts, communicate with each other and employees better. Christina helped all of us become better leaders which casts a ripple effect across the entire department. Thank you Christina!

Larry Duke, Director - Arriva

I've worked with many HR groups and individuals throughout my leadership career and while I've learned a great deal over time, nothing compares to how much I learned from Christina in a much shorter time! Christina is a true human whisperer able to guide people into discovering what makes them tick and why they do the things they do. She was an invaluable resource to our leadership team and to me personally. I would love to have her as my own personal life coach! She is very talented but she is also very, nice, genuine and generous with her time. Talk about teaching an old dog new tricks, I discovered more things about me from her than I've learned in all my similar experiences with others in her position. I can't recommend her highly enough for groups or individuals. She is a true people savant!

Migdalia Vazquez-Valle, Director of Operations, EducationUniversal Technical Institute

Christina is an excellent coach and mentor. This past year, I had the opportunity to work very closely with her and solicit her support, knowledge and expertise in leadership mentorship and professional development and advice. Her approach to coaching, mentoring and creating a path to self-discovery and professional awareness is priceless. She promotes a sound WIN/WIN opportunity that helps to strengthen and build one’s confidence in leading. Her approach is situational and tailored to all levels of leadership experience.

Kelcey Summers, President of SBE

As a previous 1:1 coaching client of Christina, when I heard about Intently's new group coaching offering, The Modern Leadership Lab, I knew I had to join.

I was at a place in my career where I wanted to meet other leaders, get to know them, and learn from them in order to continue my story and my growth. I got that, and so much more.
