“Mine has been one of those unpredictable and wild rides from a structured, successful and often glamorous corporate life that took precedent over all else in our family, to being my own boss, a freelance designer, a small business owner, and—at last—an involved parent. Among the best parts of this transformation has been meeting and working with someone like Christiane Holbrook.

“Christiane understands that being professionally successful should not be mutually exclusive with having a happy personal life and time for your family and yourself. Her knowledge about business is based on intelligent and practical ways of getting the job done efficiently and well. Combined with it are her empathy and experience in working with people, high ethics and personal integrity, and respect for others and for our shared resources. Unnecessary waste of time, money, effort, and our earth’s riches is byproduct of sloppy solutions, and everyone’s loss and burden.

“Christiane brought all her offerings to me in a moment of professional gridlock, and shared exactly what I needed to get moving again. I enjoy her great personality and inner wisdom. And I look forward to continuing the growth and opportunity brought by our work together.” — Zofia Kostyrko-Edwards, President/Creative Director of deZign sKape LLC

“Christiane listens to my concerns, challenges and thoughts. She has helped me to realize what it is exactly that I want to accomplish, to work calmly at homework hour with my daughter, to have productive conversations with my husband about difficult issues and to sort through business ideas. She helps me to think through what matters most to me, to stay close to my own personal values and to not get muddled down with all the stuff life throws at me.

“I now feel very in touch with my passion to teach, and I am embarking on a new project in teacher empowerment. Christiane’s coaching has helped me to get focused quickly. She has excellent sources of information to help in many different areas. Christiane is a very reliable personal coach. She is an attentive listener, and has a great ability to help her clients get to the core of their concerns.”   — Shannon Espino, teacher and workshop leader

“Christiane Holbrook’s coaching helped me discover how, by combining my talents and my compassionate spirit, I can open up an abundance of opportunities in not only my work, but my personal life as well.

“Working with her has helped me to organize my business and overcome obstacles of my success, but more importantly, she has empowered me to paint a clear picture of a successful future which begins today.

“Her methods provide me with essential tools to grow and thrive in this competitive market. I feel more energetic, more productive, and more enthusiastic in my work and my life.

“I would recommend her to anyone seeking success in their life and business. Thank you, Christiane, for helping me realize my dreams can become a reality!”    — David Braucher, graphic designer

“Christiane has helped me focus on what is important to me. I have become more organized in establishing my business as a jewelry designer. Since the beginning of our coaching sessions I have learned to market myself, budget my finances, feel confident in my work, and set goals that I follow through with. I have the ability to be successful and also be a loving wife and mother. Without coaching from Christiane, I wouldn’t be in this exciting position.”

“Christiane Holbrook has been such a blessing to me. I did not know very much about coaches prior to working with her but I am so glad that I do now.

“Christiane has helped me through a transition period in my life. My youngest daughter started kindergarten this year and I had grand plans for all of the extra time I would have. Well, somehow much of that “extra” time always seemed to get eaten up and I was not really following through on all of my plans. Christiane helped me through the process of clearly identifying and defining for myself the life I want.

“In short, I want to have a balanced life of taking care of my family and my home, exercising regularly, spending meaningful time with friends and family and pursuing my dream of writing a book.

“Christiane guided me through the process of setting up my foundation to accomplish this balance and pursue my dream of writing this book. I began by de-cluttering, scheduling time for the things I want to do, clearly defining goals, and marking progress towards completion of those goals.

“Christiane has been an incredible inspiration for me. She has given me the courage to see that I can successfully accomplish my goals, and she has assisted me along the path. I am now in the thick of working on my book and it is so exciting! I have already told many of my friends about Christiane Holbrook and I would highly recommend her to anyone who has a passion to realize their dreams.”   — Sharon Sand, author
