Hi there! I’m Christina, Founder and Chief Narrative Strategist of

The New Quo.

Welcome, grab a seat if you ain’t in one already and stay a while.

Over the last 7 years, I've taught 31,000 people how to practice authentic leadership through evidence-based storytelling and leadership tools, that build more trust and wellbeing in how we live and work together.

I help people identify their moments of courage and turn them into stories that inspire action.

what are daily acts of courage?

When people hear the word courage, they often think of a singular hero achieving adrenaline pumping, sweat-inducing feats. 

But daily acts of courage are the consistent choices you make to act with integrity and authenticity in your life, work, and relationships, despite the fear, discomfort, or uncertainty. 

It’s having difficult conversations that lead to deeper understanding. It’s speaking up in the face of injustice for the most vulnerable. It’s two stepping on the dance floor and not worrying about how you look. It’s sharing stories about your deepest values and beliefs that inspire others to see the world differently. It’s refusing to shrink despite demands to conform. 

Through workshops, courses, events, and content I share frameworks designed with insights from history, psychology, narrative intelligence, neuroscience, and a little bit of elbow grease to help you communicate and create with more influence and impact.

Live storytelling events & facilitated conversations

Inspiring storytelling events and conversations that helps participants better understand each other’s backgrounds through the lens of the ethical and cultural wisdom within their personal and professional experiences and goals. These conversations build bonds and psychological safety, and provide visibility and networking opportunities for participants across diverse backgrounds.

Content

It takes 21 days to begin a habit, and 90 days to cement that habit. We produce and amplify stories of ethical and cultural wisdom through The New Quo Learning Community and the Tell it Proud Podcast, giving accountability and strategies past the one and done approach of workshops to translate training concepts into daily practices for better decision making, leadership, and communication habits that stick. Think of this like a mental flossing to keep the mind fresh and ready for action.
