The coaching sessions were set aside time for me to reflect on what I really needed to do and separate that from the muddle of other thoughts going on in my head. I was able to make real progress towards something I wanted in my life while also motivating myself in a much healthier and positive way. So much appreciation to Christina for guiding me through this process and offering tools and ways of thinking through that help me reframe and shift my perspective. 

My  Emotional Intelligence, Resiliency/Well-being and Planning improved by over 50% over the course of six months of coaching.

I already have applied alot and I hope to continue the trend. I've made use of many of the tools and kept an open mind about trying to flex with what works best for my personal energy and work/life balance. The shift in perspective makes a real difference in everything, so I intent to keep reminding myself of those conversations and important observations as I move forward. 

Just being able to talk through my reflections over the last few weeks, identify new noticings, and feel like I’m in a space I can be open and brave in has been incredible. Christina reminds me that I have a seat at any table, and that I am capable of so much beyond even what I think I realized. I am so grateful for this experience!

Reflecting on the experiences I had,  I felt as if we became more focused on my individual goals for our time together over time. We began the thought process of my personality style and how to integrate that into my development. 

Christina was energetic and made the time with her fun and exciting. She truly loves what she does and that energy rubbed off on me.  Positive energy and passion for what she does shines through. This makes our sessions fly by and feels like I am talking to an old friend that I had for years. She makes it comfortable to talk to her and I know she is truly listening to what I am saying. Thank you for making me look at the emotions below the layers. It does help to acknowledge them. The hacks, tips and tricks, and helping build my confidence, telling me when I am on the right track and celebrating, because that is what I don't do for myself are much appreciated. 

Christina Noble Kalbfleisch has been instrumental in helping me think through my approach to executive presence and resilience. The guidance and support have truly made a significant impact on my professional development. Christina's coaching style is both insightful, tactful and encouraging, but also very impactfulin providing me with the tools and confidence needed to navigate challenging situations with poise and strength. Her ability to offer practical insight and tailored strategies has been invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive influence she's had on my career.

I had amazing sessions with Christina. I truly appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked that pushed me to self-assess and identify ways I can grow as a coach to better serve my team. I especially enjoyed the ideation and sharing of best practices, along with her insights on adjusting communication and process to elevate my coaching approach. One of the highlights was exploring the “adaptive zone” — that space where people are most open to shifting habits and behaviors. Christina also introduced me to the 5:1 Positive Check-ins theory, a powerful reminder that building trust and encouragement makes people far more receptive to coaching. I walked away energized with new tools and perspectives that will directly impact how I lead and support my agents.

I am so grateful for mirroring my words so I could better articulate what I was saying vs thinking/feeling. Thank you for allowing me to jump all over the place with ideas about daily stressors, overall personal health and welfare, and passion/vision. Christina helped me see that I can get caught in currents of daily details and don't leave time for other things. These things may be personal, like (not) having enough energy to enjoy my husband at the end of my days or more professional, like feeding the passion that guides my daily work. I did a lot of talking and she was great at holding space for that and listening closely. Her recaps are wonderful and help hone everything back in for a direction forward. Christina is an exceptionally empathetic listener.

I appreciate Christina both allowing me to pivot to a couple of new areas I wanted feedback on, and tying our conversation back to the initial goals established during our first session. Christina's continued ability to listen and provide deep insight based on experience is invaluable. It was helpful when she tied back what I shared with previous sessions that enabled me to easily and clearly outline a path forward. I am very thankful for her understanding and relatable nature. I have been beyond impressed with Christina. She is extremely intuitive and the insight and tools she has been able to provide me with thus far are unlike any other support avenues I have received within my career. I am looking forward to our continued work together. She is the best!!

She has been such a great help in sorting through all the static and busyness that crowd through the things that NEED to be accomplished on a regular basis and finding the authentic leader that is my voice. What worked well was open dialogue whilst confirming the structure and intent of the  sessions.Overall, amazing sessions that had a significant impact on how I show up both personally and professionally. 

I have enjoyed working with Christina so much. She is able to open my eyes to directions I had not looked while still helping me remain authentic to myself and my style of leadership. She is able to provide gentle direction when needed and firmer when I've asked. She provides great, measurable structure for sessions which allow me to grow into my goals instead of floundering and wondering what I should be doing to shape myself into the leader I hope to be.  I enjoyed that she can steer  the conversation at times when needed and gave me things to think about.  I appreciated  that we talked through real life and current examples of scenarios which helped us distill skills for development and potentially unknown biases that can allow me to work on/ put remedies into practice immediately. She keeps us focused, pulls me back on track when needed, and is an exceptional listener. She is always extremely positive, prepared and present.  I love my time with her. Christina is an outstanding coach.

While working with my coach, I’ve become more intentional about how I separate operational work, coordination, and project work, and how I allocate my time across each. I’ve shifted from a reactive approach to a more structured and prioritized way of managing my workload, especially balancing KTLO responsibilities with forward-looking initiatives. I’ve also improved how I delegate and create clarity for my team, focusing more on oversight, decisionmaking, and removing blockers instead of getting pulled into execution. Additionally, I’m more disciplined about protecting focused time for high-impact work, which has helped me make steadier progress on key initiatives while still maintaining strong operational oversight.
