O.S., Associate, International Law Firm
Christa’s sessions were extremely helpful and empowering. We started with struggles I was facing on a personal level due to my life circumstances and then gradually moved to working on specific professional challenges. I found this approach very helpful as Christa was able to see the underlying personal reasons behind my professional challenges, address them in a very delicate, kind, supportive way but at the same time the advice was to the point and very clear.
In terms of professional challenges, Christa’s help was also immensely valuable:
- We had very helpful sessions on public speaking skills and Christa’s guidance, support and tips helped me make a good impression at the bi-annual industry group meeting and receive good feedback from colleagues and supervisors.
- We also had another very empowering session on business development which was of great help in preparation of my personal business plan that was later endorsed with some additions by my supervising partner.
- Finally, we had sessions on delegation skills and supervising others which helped me with giving honest and timely feedback.
I appreciated Christa’s holistic approach which engaged with me on two levels – Christa worked with my mindset addressing my perspective on particular challenges (e.g., changing attitude towards public speaking and addressing fears) but at the same time equipped me with some very practical and concrete tips (e.g., video exercise for public speaking followed by concrete recommendations on posture, voice, starting and closing remarks etc.).
Overall, sessions with Christa helped me both personally and professionally and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have this fantastic coaching.
