Stabilizing Leadership and Culture in High-Growth, High-Pressure Environments
I help founder-led and growth-stage companies scale without burnout or cultural breakdown.
Who I Work With
When Leadership and Culture Break Down, Performance Suffers.
Most breakdowns don’t happen because people lack skill or motivation.
They happen because human systems aren’t designed for emotional complexity, performance pressure, power dynamics, and burnout.The result: reactivity, turnover, conflict avoidance, decision paralysis, and culture strain.
These issues don’t get solved with surface-level training.
They require root-cause diagnosis and systems-level redesign.
A Different Kind of Leadership Advisory Practice
-
Pillar 1 — Root-Cause Diagnosis
I diagnose leadership and culture breakdowns at the systems level — mapping leadership dynamics, communication patterns, emotional safety, decision authority, and burnout risk.
This is where performance and culture are actually shaped.
-
Pillar 2 — Human Systems Design
Organizational systems fail when human behavior under pressure isn’t accounted for.
I integrate emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, leadership psychology, and systems design into one coherent methodology that produces sustained behavioral change.
-
Pillar 3 — Executive Advisory
I operate as a long-term advisor to founders and leadership teams.
The focus is stabilizing leadership behavior, strengthening culture, and redesigning human systems so accountability, performance, and wellbeing scale together.

Hi, I’m Christa.
I’m an Executive Leadership Advisor and Organizational Consultant working at the intersection of leadership psychology, human systems design, and organizational performance.
My work spans executive advisory, leadership audits, and culture architecture within founder-led and growth-stage organizations.
Experience & Organizational Work
My work spans executive leadership advisory, organizational culture consulting, and human systems design.
I’ve partnered with organizations such as Fox Point Farms on Organizational & Leadership Audits, working closely with founders, executives, and management teams to assess leadership dynamics, communication patterns, emotional safety, burnout risk, and cultural strain.
This work has included in-depth leadership interviews, team diagnostics, culture mapping, executive advisory sessions, and facilitated integration workshops — translating insight into practical changes in leadership behavior, communication norms, and organizational systems.

What People Are Saying
“Through my work with Christa I learned that in order to trust others, I needed to trust myself. Trusting myself requires learning to be aware of my emotions and giving myself time to feel and react to them.”
— Gail Piccirilli“Christa has the wisdom and intuition of a sage. Without having direct experience herself in my particular business nor my hobby, Christa is somehow able to advise me on issues with each. I am constantly astounded at the wide range of topics she can coach me on: family, friends, spouse, business, hobby, health, burnout, household tasks, employee issues, spiritual and personal well-being. I leave every session feeling better and ready to tackle what is in front of me. I highly recommend Christa!”
-Stephanie Lee“I would recommend Christa‘s coaching to almost anyone. What differentiates her approach from anyone else I’ve ever talked to is that she truly wants to understand who you are as a person and is never one-size-fits-all. She genuinely takes the time to understand who you are your patterns your pain points, your potential and everything she offers is grounded in that deep understanding. Her belief in me makes me feel so strong. I honestly can’t imagine having made it through some of the most difficult moments in my life without her guidance and support.”
— Marjorie Burnside BDO“Since working with Christa, I’ve gained clarity around what kind of support I truly need in my role—specifically, the importance of bringing on an Assistant Manager to help cover key gaps that I can’t sustainably manage alone. The exercises Christa provided, along with the clear and actionable outline she helped me develop, have been instrumental in organizing my thoughts and aligning them with the bigger picture. I’ve completed the foundational work, and my next step is presenting this vision and proposal to my CEO. Christa’s coaching has helped me move from overwhelm to strategic action, and I’m already feeling more empowered and aligned as a leader.”
