Cristi believes there is GENIUS in EVERYONE. The eight-year old girl, the 60 year-old stockbroker, the life coach just starting out. No matter how confused or unsure you are about your genius, it is there, it is clear. It just needs to be pulled out of you. That’s what I do.
Cristi’s career began twenty years ago in market research, when she developed Telus Mobility’s first client segmentation model to help make it one of the fastest-growth wireless companies in Canada. Cristi’s strong reputation for results followed her internationally, where she designed strategic marketing plans for some of the largest companies in Brazil. For the last 7 years, Cristi has focused on helping professionals apply advanced business strategies to their careers & professional practices. An honors graduate of Queen’s School of Business, Cristi blends high academic standards into practical strategies that everyone can use.
