Attributes of a Great Client
There are criteria that a coach looks for in choosing their ideal clients. Are you:
- open-minded and self aware, with a track record of success in career, relationships, and personal well-being?
- in a positive mind frame where on a whole ‘life is on the right track’, however in one or two areas you may be in transition, feel stuck, stalled, or as if you are drifting?
- unsure how to apply your potential to improve your current situation?
- able to laugh and be honest with yourself while being open to challenges and feedback?

Christine Russell, CEO 889 Yonge
Thank you so much for such a powerful session. I reflected after our session and agree with you and believe that feedback does have the power to lift our results significantly, and to positively grow our people. Thank you for opening my eyes to its power, and it's positive result. No longer am I going to dread feedback, but look at it as a tool and huge opportunity! You have shifted my perception.
Rebecca McKeand, Clerk, City of Toronto
Christie has been amazing coach and confidante that helped me uncover myself and my passions. She gives you the tools to help you focus on your goals and values, while at the same time teaching you how to combat the thoughts that clutter your brain and get in your way. Up until this point, I did not know what path I should take in my career and personal development and what passions I possessed. In comparison to others in my life, I felt lost and unable to focus on moving forward. Christie made me realize that I always knew what I wanted out of life and how to get it, which is tremendously rewarding and comforting. With Christie’s coaching, I now know what direction I am going in and I am looking forward to the challenges that lay ahead…sky’s the limit!
Geoffrey Lubert, MBA Vice President, Guy Carpenter & Company
My firm was about to engage in a high powered meeting with senior management. With critical decisions to be made, the tension and anxiety were powerful. I knew our differences could be resolved if we improved our communication.
We engaged Christie Mann as a consultant to facilitate my development as a leader, with a specific short-term organizational goal to manage this meeting successfully. The meeting went very smoothly and was a tremendous success for the company.
The education I received has provided me with tools I use in business on a regular basis. Christie Mann's consulting delivered incredible value to me and my firm.
Thank you Christie, we look forward to working with you again,

Joss Rowlands - Professional Coach
"Christie is a joyous and fun coach: Her warmth and enthusiasm are real. Christie was really able to focus in on what mattered to me, to get into the places I like to hide. During a tough moment in my life, Christie called me out to show my greater self and made me see where I was undermining myself. In doing so, Christie helped lift my work and myself to newer heights. I am forever grateful to her courage and resilience on my behalf when I most needed it."

Thank you for enlightening me, and my own path. I really appreciated all that you've done for me and how you've helped me with your knowledge. In the moments where I need it, I fall back to the tools you've given to me and they have been so impactful for me on how to deal with and appreciate the world around me.
Kelly Cmolik R.TCMP., R.Ac., Qi Integrated Health
As a busy professional, I tend to feel a little overwhelmed with what I set out to accomplish. Christie helps me to stay grounded and on task when I feel in over my head. She acknowledges who I am and prevents me from getting in my own way. Her kind words and encouragement have supported my lofty ambitions, and prompted me to find more balance in my life. I highly recommend her services to any professional who seeks to manage their time more efficiently and enjoy more fulfillment within a busy schedule.
