MEET OUR COACHES

Word on the street

  • Jehron Petty

    “Christina and Blue Door Partners have been indispensable to our team since we started working with them.”

    Christina has provided us with tools that have greatly improved our teamwide communication and collaboration while gently challenging us to hold ourselves and each other accountable. Our team looks forward to meeting with Christina each month!

    — Jehron Petty, CEO, ColorStack

  • Digital illustration of a woman with long dark hair, smiling, wearing a striped top and a necklace with a pendant.

    "I've evolved in a major way."

    From day one, Christina was like, ‘I’m here for you. Let's work together to get the best out of you for your company.’

    — Hilarie Holt, VP at Sony Pictures

  • David Stafford

    "I've been with Christina through 3 different leadership transitions."

    I am constantly needing to figure out how to pivot, how I appear to others, how do I articulate the value that I bring. She's the one who grounds me.

    — David Stafford, Global VP, Dropbox

  • Mia Hawley

    "Christina's ability to create a safe space for communicators to express themselves authentically for 45 minutes was so refreshing."

    These interactive learning moments focus on topics ranging from dealing with intrusive thoughts to balancing a hybrid workstyle. She was flexible with working to accommodate across multiple time zones and provided on-demand modules to recap what those unable to attend could view. Many of my colleagues were eager to see what topic we would cover next and valued that time to expand their personal/professional capacity in such a vulnerable way.

    — Mia Hawley, Communications Manager, Microsoft

  • A digital illustration of a middle-aged man with short dark hair, gray sideburns, and a gray beard, wearing a purple button-up shirt.

    "Christina is fun, engaging, & educational."

    Christina did a great job of breaking down walls and engaging people in a way that felt safe and created a positive experience.

    — Steve Baldock, Executive Director, Premier Events

  • Digital illustration of a woman with long brown hair, smiling, wearing earrings and a black dress with yellow floral pattern.

    “This is preventative medicine."

    We wanted to be proactive about leadership and make coaching part of how we operate. We now have so much guided practice in productive ways to show up in hard conversations or big decisions.

    — Claire Shorall, Co-Founder, Topknot

  • Danny Guerrero

    "Christina has truly transformed the way I see myself, and manage my professional and personal responsibilities."

    She’s equipped me with so many tools by way of real reflection. Not always the easiest to hear, the observations and feedback she had for me spoke to me in a way that my defenses were down the very same day I first met her. That speaks to the skills, personality and authenticity. And for that I am grateful to her, and to my company for allowing our paths to cross. I can't thank her enough!

    — Danny Guerrero, CEO & Founder, The Culturist Group

  • Grace Turkis

    "Christina is the exact opposite of traditional forms of learning."

    She leads her workshops in a way that makes students feel heard, respected, and really walks alongside them to help them in their learning.

    — Grace Turkis, Director of Leadership Development, UC Berkeley School of Public Health

  • Digital illustration of a smiling man with short, grayish hair wearing a blue collared shirt.

    "Christina's vast amount of professional and coaching experience has helped us."

    I wanted somebody who was going to be able to push back at me and call me out when I'm not articulating, when I'm trying to dodge a question or when I talk about that or tough topics. And she was exactly what I was looking for in that regard.

    Jonathan Jackson, CEO & Co-Founder, Dimagi

  • Digital illustration of a smiling woman with long wavy brown hair, wearing a blue patterned shirt.

    "Our coaching is responsive to something on the horizon we want to purposefully approach."

    Co-Founder coaching is a really safe way to bring up stuff that feels riskier for me to bring up on my own. We work with Christina at all levels and it’s incredibly fruitful for our communication.

    — Brook Osborne, Co-Founder, Topknot

  • Casandra Stewart

    "Christina's sessions are the perfect blend of structure and improv."

    She comes with a plan and then adapts activities in the moment based on what participants need. This ability to fine-tune as the session progresses ensures everyone walks away with a meaningful experience.

    — Casandra Stewart, CEO & Co-Founder, Homeroom
