Authentic Action Coaching - Sunderland

Working with Christina has been a transformative experience, both for my business and for me personally. From our very first conversation, she was on the same page, immediately understanding the unique challenges I was facing.

After struggling on my own with chronic imposter syndrome, difficulty handling confrontations in business, and an overall sense that something just wasn’t 'right,' Christina came highly recommended—and I’m beyond grateful for it. Each week brought new revelations, practical guidance, and a sense of joy that I didn’t expect. Every session was eye-opening and insightful, with plenty of laughter along the way. Christina truly has a talent; if only we could bottle her up and put her on the shelf!

If you’re a business owner looking to gain clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose, I couldn’t recommend Christina more highly. Thanks to her encouragement, I now have a clear direction for my business and a solid plan to reach my goals. Standing in my own power has become my new normal, and I feel stronger and more capable than ever.

Thank you, Christina—you are a gift.

Meeting Christina was life-changing for me. I wasn't happy with my work environment, and Christina helped me understand that it's not about blaming anyone but recognising when a community is not suitable for me. I also struggled to understand how well our emotions can be managed to fuel us positively.

I believe what I've learned from Christina over the last two years has helped me to be me—a more confident and happier me.

Thank you my lovely Christina!xxx

Working with Christina Lord took me to an emotional depth that gave me insights on how to move forward with specific steps in my public facing world. But what was even more impactful were the insights I internalised in my inner world.

Christina is a supportive, emotionally present, and energetic coach who intuitively asked the right questions—always guiding me to find my own answers. Through her coaching, I will be able to start living the life I envisioned for myself. I deeply appreciate how fully present she was in our conversation, and how supported I felt on my journey.

As they say, "It's not about the destination but about the journey."

I was introduced to Christina by a work colleague and friend. I was lacking in self belief, never thinking I was good enough worrying about how I compared to others and feeling incompetent at times, and this was hindering my capabilities. All these things were heightened with me going through the menopause. During our sessions I was also faced with redundancy. The coaching sessions with Christina helped me find my 'zones of brilliance' and 'super powers'. Interestingly these were things that previous senior managers and leadership had pointed out as my downfalls. I have learnt to embrace what values I bring and that they don't always need to be tangible, in fact more often these intangible measures are more powerful. I am more compassionate towards myself and have found a tool box of solutions that help me move through different feelings and emotions. These sessions have been personable and tailored to my needs and have enabled me to strive for a happier and more fulfilling future in all aspects of my life. I would recommend Christina to anyone searching for a more prosperous life. Investing in yourself is one of the best gifts you can give to yourself. She is a genius and I look forward to continuing our friendship and partnership.

I chose to work with Christina to improve my confidence and effectiveness in public speaking, specifically for presenting on conference panels and giving media briefings. Christian's holistic approach was key to making the 'SYSTEM' 'stick'; starting with grounding breathing techniques and physiological awareness and layering on engagement techniques, use of tone & a considered structure. The biggest change I have seen is probably not visual...it's me feeling more confident & calm, and believing in my abilities. I presented at an industry event last week with none of the 'umms' & 'errrs' which punctuated my previous speeches, and I even got a few laughs and some questions at the end.

Christina delivered an insightful and energetic workshop that engaged team members across the business. The activity met the brief perfectly and I think we all took something away from it. I'm only sorry that we didn't leave sufficient time in our day for some breath work.

Initially, I was very skeptical about coaching sessions like these because I'm not a spiritual person, and many seem to revolve around the idea that changing your spirit can change yourself. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that their approach provides a logical framework to analyze situations and move forward. This became an invaluable tool for me. If you're a factual person, I highly recommend these sessions, they might be exactly what you need!

Energising, re-focusing & educational! Christina facilitated a group breathwork session in the NatWest Enterprise Hub for the Accelerator Programme. It was received well by all with a great understanding of the purpose and expectation of the session. As well as offering great insight to the benefits of breathwork, Christina created a safe and relaxing space for participants to gain maximum benefit.
For business owners & working professionals who are constantly spinning lots of plates, taking the time to look inwards, pause and be educated is critical to their performance both in and out of work.
