Welcome to the place where everything becomes possible and where success doesn’t require that you start from scratch
Authentic Leadership and Executive Coaching is a catalyst for reaching your professional and personal goals faster.
Here’s where our paths intersect
What if I told you that the idea of more is yet another (untrue!) story you’ve written about yourself?
It speaks to a single, unsustainable way to achieve your goals.
Enter authentic leadership and executive coaching!
“Oh, great,” you think. “Yet ANOTHER thing to take on…”
But before you balk, know that coaching in this space is simple and organic, encouraging you to show up exactly how you are on any given day. It’s not added work or learning how to become a radically new person.
It’s permission to be the amazing human you already are even while you are being your toughest critic! And it serves as your guide through the baby steps necessary to learn how to show up for yourself the way you do for others.
Coaching helps you reframe the stories you tell yourself and supports you in the writing of new ones.
I’m like having a little angel on your shoulder, guiding you toward the happiest, most sustainable version of yourself!
Here are some things clients have said about me:
Christina is “magical”, “wise”, “like a little Yoda”, “sunshine”, “the angel on my shoulder”, “a lifesaver”.
The feelings are mutual…I love my clients!
Here are some things I’ve said about them:
My clients are “incredible”, “amazing human beings”, “inspirations”, “sent to me by the Universe”, “always teaching me something about myself”, “courageous”.
“You’ll leave her sessions feeling confident, capable, and ready to conquer your goals.”
“Christina, with her warmth, expertise, and genuine care, became more than a coach; she became a guide, a cheerleader, and a confidante. The impact has been profound. Today, I stand tall, empowered, and in control. She isn’t just a coach; she’s an architect of transformation.”
– Bert Lamar, Senior L&D Professional
“Christina gave me a safe place to navigate my circumstances and underlying beliefs and assumptions, while also challenging them.”
“Coaching with Christina is more than just an experience—it’s a deeply rooted and unwavering committed relationship that allowed me the opportunity to glean not only awareness and insights regarding my personal and professional life, but how I can best bridge any gaps that exist in a creative and meaningful way. Coaching with Christina..”
– Angela Mettling, HR Professional

Group Coaching
Group coaching is for you if you are growth-oriented, enjoy collaboration, support, and challenge, appreciate multiple perspectives and practical tools, and are committed to your development.
Join a group of 4-8 individuals on a similar journey seeking personal and professional growth through shared experiences, diverse perspectives, and the power of open-ended questioning.

Focus on expanding your mindset, seeing new perspectives, and experimenting with different actions to create possibilities that match you.
This group can greatly support you, especially if you...
- Feel alone in what you’re experiencing (spoiler alert: you’re not alone)
- Feel unsupported and lack mentorship/growth opportunities
- Want to be more assertive and own your voice
- Tend to put others’ needs before your own and minimize your value
- Feel things deeply…it’s a part of who you are

- Notice you feel overlooked or held back
- Find yourself doing something unsustainable and don’t want to get to the end of your rope before making a change
- Are frustrated with always being the team player and stepping up to help
This commitment includes up to ten 90-minute virtual sessions. Sessions are not recorded. Participants are encouraged to define a priority that they’d like to focus on and put energy into and that they are willing to share with the group.
Who am I?
Hi, beautiful human! I’m Christina, the Founder of Possibility Lab. My clients have described me as “magical,” “radiant,” “thoughtful,” “wise,” and “full of energy.”
I’m passionate about creating spaces that hold clients in unconditional positive regard. All of you is welcome in this space—even the parts of yourself you prefer to hide from your coworkers, team, or boss.
As a coach, one of my greatest superpowers is taking clients to a new level of self-trust they never imagined possible. Partnering with me means holding space for honest, organic, and direct conversations—with a bit of humor and magic mixed in to keep things positive. In addition to being certified with the International Coaching Federation as a Professional Certified Coach, I’ve supported over 350 leaders.
I look forward to supporting you, too!
You can get with this, or you can stay with that…the choice is yours!
Big changes on the inside don’t happen overnight, it’s true. Usually, they happen so gradually that you don’t even recognize them. But they do happen.
The question is, do you want to intentionally move toward positive changes in your professional and personal life?
Or continue along your current path?
Both can be challenging. Your choice lies in which challenge you choose.
“Christina has helped me recognize and create space for a life that I didn’t think was available to me.”
“I have been working with Christina for 4 1/2 years and our work has profoundly changed my life and the life of my family. Christina has helped me recognize and create space for a life that I didn’t think was available to me. She never pushes me in any one direction, rather facilitates self discovery. She maintains a judgement free, agenda free coaching practice and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who’s looking to create better boundaries, opportunities, and possibilities for themselves, both personally and professionally. I’ve worked with Christina to ask for a raise, to illuminate needs in my marriage, to prepare for the birth of my first child. The applications of her coaching are endless and I am so fortunate she came into my life. Anyone who works with Christina will be better for it – she is a bright star in this complicated world!”
– Mary James, Data & Insights Leader in Healthcare
“Christina has helped me uncover, verbalize, and act on what I wanted to do and, more importantly, who I wanted to be.”
“Over the past four years, Christina has helped me uncover, verbalize, and act on what I wanted to do and, more importantly, who I wanted to be. The insight I’ve gained in my sessions with her has helped me navigate personal and professional challenges with more courage, resilience, and possibility. I trust her immensely and highly recommend her!”
– Dorthea Johnson, Entrepreneur & Former SVP
“It helped change everything…”
“I had never been through coaching before and was unsure about the benefits or how it would affect my life. And….WOW. It helped change everything, and that was in large part due to Christina and the relationship we forged. She welcomed me to the table during each session, just as I was, and helped tease out the issues that I was struggling with. She always…”
“Christina is a ray of sunshine that makes you feel like you can tackle anything.”
“Christina is a ray of sunshine that makes you feel like you can tackle anything the world throws your way. She came into my life while I was burned out and at a crossroads in my career, but she helped me navigate it in a way that was authentic to me and instilled confidence in me to reach beyond my goals – and I succeeded! Forever grateful for Christina and our hilarious, eye-opening, and inspirational coaching sessions. She’s truly a gem.”

– Minyan Weiss, Group Senior Vice President
"Her support through some big professional transitions for me really made the process so much better."
“Christina’s coaching came at an amazing time in my career. Her support through some big professional transitions for me really made the process so much better. Really one of the biggest takeaways was the reminder that I was in the position I was in for a reason. She also challenged me regularly to consider different views or angles of a situation. I’ll always remember bracing myself (in a good way) for her ability to hear my challenge and then turn it a different way. I needed that, and I apply lessons I learned in those scenarios to my day to day. I highly recommend working with Christina. I also recommend giving yourself the time and focus that both you and she deserve during each session. Get away from your desk and take a little “me time” for some coaching. Thank you, Christina!”
– Andy Houston, EVP

She is truly an amazing coach.”
– Katy Matthews, International Affairs Leader
Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
I treat coaching as organic, fluid conversations focused on what matters most to you/your priorities (what’s taking up your head/heart space and energy?). Our coaching conversations are loosely structured to allow exploration, direction changes, and deep discussions. Creating possibilities that match you and reframing are techniques I use often. You will get out what you put into coaching.
How does one-on-one coaching work?
This form of coaching typically starts with twelve sessions to be used within one year or quicker, depending on your goals. Sessions are organic, allowing you to bring details (such as your to-do list or strategic decisions you need to make), ideas (such as wanting to improve as an executive or leader or wanting to make a career shift and not knowing where to start), or feelings (such as feeling bored, tired, disengaged, or angry) without a defined problem or homework. My coaching conversations are loosely structured to allow exploration, direction changes, and deep discussions. To improve the value of each session, we’ll look at what was helpful about the discussion and what would work better for the next session. Each coaching conversation is focused on your prioritized challenges and opportunities. I will not direct any topics we cover during our time together. Instead, we’ll work on your highest priority and tie that progress back to the larger-scale goal or improvement that you desire.
What is the unlimited all-in coaching package, and what are its benefits?
This form of coaching provides access to unlimited scheduled coaching sessions and short (5-15 minute) in-the-moment, ad hoc, laser coaching sessions by phone for one year. This package provides dedicated coaching support so you can continue to make the progress you want, no matter what obstacles you face.
What is group coaching?
Join a small group (4-8 individuals) of amazing humans on a journey similar to yours! Receive support from the group and get personal attention on your priorities through highly interactive, facilitated conversations that are both supportive and challenging and focus on expanding our mindsets, seeing new perspectives, and experimenting with different actions to create possibilities that match you. Group coaching typically includes up to ten 90-minute virtual sessions. Sessions are not recorded. Participants are encouraged to define a priority they’d like to progress on and put energy into that they are willing to share with the group. Group coaching can significantly support you if you:
- Feel unsupported and lack mentorship/growth opportunities
- You want to be more assertive and own your voice
- You tend to put others’ needs before your own and minimize your value
- Feel things deeply…it’s a part of who you are
- Want to trust yourself more, have more confidence, and lean into your authentic leadership style
- Are tired of being overlooked or held back
- Are doing something unsustainable and don’t want to get to the end of your rope before making a change
- Feel frustrated with always being the team player and stepping up to help

Coaching topics I’m very familiar with include:
- Work/life balance
- Building confidence

- Imposter syndrome
- Inner critic

- Giving feedback

The specialization I’m most proud of is helping my clients develop radical self-trust in all areas of their lives.
Am I required to be on video?
No. Coaching with me will always lean into phone calls. This ensures you don’t have to be confined to a space or worry about finding a WiFi signal. Instead, you can be doing something you enjoy, like walking outside or relaxing and listening to the birds. Some people listen, create, and think differently when they are moving. If this is you, please embrace this in a safe way and in a safe place that makes you feel free to share openly. My only requirement is that you do not drive or operate other heavy machinery during our calls.
Why should I work with Christina?
I’m authentic, direct, fun, and challenging yet supportive. I energize others to be daring and to challenge their limitations and mindsets. I like to blend fun with practicality. I’m big on listening to your intuition, doing things your way, and focusing on the things you control. I can move quickly for those who are bored easily or create the space for thinkers to process and analyze new ideas. I strive never to have the coaching process feel like homework or a waste of time.
Is Christina's coaching only for leaders and executives?
Not at all! My coaching is for achievers, executives, workaholics, rebels, over-thinkers, creatives, and anyone craving more fun, laughter, and happiness. Whether you’re looking to boost your confidence, manage through layoffs or reorganization, or improve your communication, my coaching is tailored to various needs and backgrounds. I work best with people who consider themselves to be self-motivated, reliable, thoughtful, driven/ambitious, and action-oriented. These individuals tend to appreciate direct, to-the-point communication, tough love and honest feedback, humor or sarcasm, and tools and techniques they can apply to their situations immediately. If you are committed to making progress on your goals and are open-minded, we might be a great match!
How much homework should I expect?
None! Your coaching session is designed to be organic and fluid, ensuring we can address your priorities during each session. Homework is never assigned, and you are always encouraged to do something comfortable or energizing during our calls, such as walking (your dog can go too!). You are welcome to assign yourself homework or ask for resources to support your journey in a way that best serves you.
What are the outcomes of Christina's coaching?
Through my coaching, you can expect outcomes like radical self-trust, calming your inner critic, confidence building, improved balance at work and home, enhanced executive presence, authentic leadership, courage, and self-empowerment. You’ll also develop the ability to manage through change, improve your communication practices, and gain confidence in difficult conversations and conflict.
What do I need to budget to invest in coaching?
This depends entirely on the support and access you wish to have. Variables include individual versus group coaching sessions, how long our sessions run, how frequently you’d like to connect, if any review of materials is required before we can get started, if a 360 assessment is needed, if you will want to include facilitated conversations with your manager, and so on. Typically, group coaching packages begin at $1,000, depending on the program. A year commitment of individual coaching averages $1,000 to $2,000 per month; however, many clients have custom packages that meet their needs for as little as $5,000. Executive coaching packages begin at $25,000. No matter your budget, the best way to find out what’s possible for you is to book a call with me.
Many of my clients have employers willing to partially or fully sponsor/pay for their coaching journey. If you plan to self-fund your coaching experience, please let me know what budget you have available so we can create a package that works for you.
What are the differences between individual and group coaching?
Individual coaching is always entirely focused on what you want and what will serve you. You schedule the times that work for you at the frequency that best supports your needs. More flexibility and personal progress can be achieved through individual coaching. The Group coaching format has some dedicated time for you to focus on a topic, and there will also be others who will support you with your topic, and you will support them with their topics. Set times are established for the group to meet, and the frequency and length of meetings have limited flexibility. With Group coaching, you will have less dedicated time for your needs, more sense of community with other group members sharing in your journey, and sessions that are usually longer and not flexible in rescheduling easily. Group coaching is a less expensive option, while individual coaching is more expensive.
How can I get started with Christina?
Getting started is the easiest part! Book a call with me.
How does the coaching process with Christina begin?
My coaching process begins with a phone call where you can discuss your current situation, bring ideas, or share your feelings. This initial conversation sets the stage for exploring the topics that matter most to you while ensuring we have a great connection and chemistry, which are vital for getting the most from this process.
What can I expect after saying "YES" to coaching with Christina?
My coaching style is unique, organic, and flexible. After committing to coaching, you can expect support tailored to your goals, concerns, time, needs, and desires. We’ll determine how long we’ll work together and how often we’ll meet (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or some other frequency) based on your needs. You’ll receive an agreement outlining everything we discuss and your initial invoice. Once everything has been signed, you’ll get access to my calendar, where you can begin scheduling our conversations.
Why is there a waitlist for Group coaching?
Group coaching requires a group of compatible people ready and willing to meet at the same time and for the same duration. Unless there is already a group open to adding new members, a new group will need to be created, and the waitlist allows for the group’s curation to be possible. If you have a group of people assembled and ready to start group coaching, please feel free to grab a time to discuss your situation with me. Join the Group Coaching Waitlist.
How long might we work together, and how often might we meet?
It depends on you, your goals, your want for coaching, and many other factors. Some clients work with me for 3 to 6 months, while others continue to work with me even after five years. Coaching meeting frequencies can change from weekly to monthly or quarterly and back to weekly again depending on your situation and intention for using coaching support. You dictate your coaching journey!

*Leadership Circle Profile™ is created and owned by Leadership Circle®
My story with coaching, and with Christina Unrein specifically, began in 2019 with a coaching program mandated by my employer. Annoyed and skeptical, I entered thinking, “How can a coach help me be ‘happy’?” After all, I was stressed, overworked, and drowning in a job I disliked. My work bled into my home life, causing unhappiness for myself and my family.
But then, Christina happened, and what started as a mandated coaching session blossomed into a transformative journey. Christina, with her warmth, expertise, and genuine care, became more than a coach; she became a guide, a cheerleader, and a confidante. She helped me unlock hidden strengths and identify limiting beliefs. She challenged me to see myself differently, to prioritize my happiness, and to set healthy boundaries. I learned to say no gracefully, approach challenges with intention, and value my own well-being as a critical asset.
The impact has been profound. Today, I stand tall, empowered, and in control. I navigate the professional landscape with confidence, setting boundaries and speaking my truth. My relationships flourish, nurtured by the happiness I now prioritize.
Before Christina:
- A “yes-man,” taking on any burden thrown my way.
- An “achievement junkie,” rushing through projects without focus.
- Constantly compromising my happiness for others.
After Christina:
- Setting boundaries and advocating for myself with confidence.
- Approaching work with intentionality and a desire to learn.
- Recognizing and actively protecting my happiness as a valuable asset.
Christina isn’t just a coach; she’s an architect of transformation. She helped me build a new version of myself, one brimming with happiness, purpose, and resilience. If you’re seeking a guide to unlock your potential and live a more fulfilling life, then look no further than Christina. You won’t regret it.
Here’s what makes Christina exceptional:
- Warm and empathetic: She creates a safe space for open and honest dialogue, fostering trust and connection.
- Expert guidance: Her knowledge and experience provide insightful coaching, tailored to your unique needs.
- Transformative approach: She goes beyond surface-level solutions, helping you uncover your true potential.
- Empowering results: You’ll leave her sessions feeling confident, capable, and ready to conquer your goals.
Christina is an investment in your future, a gift to yourself that keeps on giving. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to experience the transformative power of her coaching.
Warmly,
Bert Lamar
"I'll always look back on our sessions as a really important moment in my life and career."
“I couldn’t be more appreciative of your coaching and approach to it. My time with you lined up with a time when I was ready and able to make some real breakthroughs, but I could have never achieved what I have without your guidance. We started on the first session with me being really confused by some of your gut reactions to where we might need to focus, and with the right suggestion of books and a listening-centric and positive approach, it clicked big for me – and quickly. There was no world where I thought my coaching experience would be about focusing on my foundation of who I am and why I do what I do. Even being unafraid to ask “is this job/company right for me?”. I would have told you this would have been all about much narrower goals and capabilities. The deeper focus was so right – even if I didn’t realize that was the right prescription. Thank you for all of the help and support. You’re really good at what you do 🙂 I’ll always look back on our sessions as a really important moment in my life and career.”
– Adam Swider, SVP
"With Christina's help I feel more confident and grounded in my abilities and potential, and have been able to apply what I've developed."
“I was offered professional coaching sessions through my employer when I moved into a leadership role, and although initially skeptical, I am so thankful that I took advantage of the opportunity.
I was paired with Christina Unrein, who has an infectious energy and radiated positivity throughout all of our sessions. She was patient, but firm and helped keep me accountable on the goals I set for our sessions. Through thought-provoking questions Christina continually challenged the limitations I placed on myself as a leader and human being.
With Christina’s help I feel more confident and grounded in my abilities and potential, and have been able to apply what I’ve developed during our sessions to my professional and personal life. I 100% recommend Christina Unrein as a coach and have already passed her name along to several friends and colleagues!”
– Tanja Stendahl, Senior Manager, Customer Success
"I have learned, practiced, and built enduring strategies to find and maintain resilient happiness in my professional pursuits…"
“I have learned, practiced, and built enduring strategies to find and maintain resilient happiness in my professional pursuits, in just one year of coaching sessions with Christina. Strategies and tools that will benefit me for a lifetime. My work with Christina far exceeded any expectations I had. I quickly found myself channeling her coaching on a daily basis as I worked through a variety of business and professional challenges, even paying it forward with others in my organization as I shared her insights and approaches. Christina has a unique ability to assess my personal goals, desires, ambitions, trepidations, and way of thinking, early in our time together and she kept me true to myself and those personal goals, desires, and ambitions throughout the process. The trepidations were tackled with new ways of thinking or new approaches. She listens, she guides, she shares, she collaborates, she challenges, she pokes, and she inspires. After each session, I found myself eager to put her ideas for me to use and report back 2 weeks later. We would then build upon the experience or would move on to something new, when I was ready. She’s the true definition of the word, COACH. I am forever grateful that our paths connected.”
– Tory Agnich, SVP
"She has supported me through gaining clarity on my goals and empowering me to pursue them."
“Christina has been so instrumental in guiding my development, both personal and professional. She has an unbelievably infectious positive energy (I leave every session with a smile), and she has supported me through gaining clarity on my goals and empowering me to pursue them. I’m super grateful for the invaluable insights and growth she’s guided me to and through, and have highly recommended her to many friends and coworkers!”
– Syd Lolli, Research & Insights Professional
"Working with Christina has truly been a transformative experience for me."
“Working with Christina has truly been a transformative experience for me. She has a knack for asking challenging questions that force you to confront your own preconceived limitations, biases, and thought patterns, but her energy is so upbeat and positive that it’s easy to be open and vulnerable through the process. Coaching with Christina has given me invaluable tools to navigate life’s ups and downs (both personally and professionally), and to do so with confidence and kindness for myself along the way.”
– Katie Davis, Outbound Sales Manager
"I really appreciated the flexibility in our sessions."
“Christina helped me navigate a handful of obstacles I was dealing with at work. I really appreciated the flexibility in our sessions and being able to cover a range of topics as they came up.”
– Colin Kreutzberg, Associate Director of Data Strategy
"She gave me my life back. No better gift."
“Life is a beautiful struggle and journey. Far too many of us never have a guide to help navigate this wilderness called earth. I was a lost soul before Christina helped change my path and direction. It was a pivotal time in my life. I was at an unfulfilled place in my career. The world was in a pandemic. America was finally coming to grips with acknowledging systemic racism. I didn’t know it at the time but I was searching for clarity and a real sense of purpose which ultimately leads to happiness. Christina was that beacon of light at the end of the tunnel. Never in a million years could I have imagined speaking to someone about my life would profoundly change my life. Christina has a super power to listen and actually hear what others might miss or look over. She provided me remarkable feedback on what she heard, challenged my thoughts, assumptions and belief systems. Her words allowed me to go deeper into my value systems by asking poignant questions. ‘How does that serve you?’ She would ask. ‘Does that align with your values now?’ She recommended great audiobooks that allowed me to reconstruct my life on my terms based on the values that I wish to live according to Now! Christina pushed me to align my daily life with my values. Why was I allowing outside forces to control my view and outlook on life. She shook my world up and made me look at the man in the mirror. I rediscovered my authentic self. I learned to play in the wind and not fight against it. She changed my life in 10 sessions. I love her ?. I’m a better man, husband, father and citizen because of Christina. If you are looking to be a better human and willing to do the hard work, there is no better coach on the planet ? in my humble opinion. She gave me my life back. No better gift ?.”
– Tommy Daniels, Technical Repair Manager
"She taught me the importance of listening to myself, trusting what I hear, and being kinder to myself."
“Christina is a lifesaver! With her coaching, I felt empowered to make necessary changes in my career and move towards being happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. She is kind, encouraging, insightful, optimistic, and so perceptive. She has an incredible ability to quickly hone in on the problems you are confronting and then help you focus on what you can do NOW to start changing your life. I believe part of that stems from the way she listens – not just to the words but also to how they are said and the feelings behind them – and the questions she asks, picking up on things I had not yet seen or considered. With this, she is pulling together the pieces of your story, helping you recognize what is holding you back, and guiding you towards the ideas/motivation/energy to take the next step. She inspired me to work differently by thinking about my life differently. And most importantly, she taught me the importance of listening to myself, trusting what I hear, and being kinder to myself. Thank you, Christina!”
– Hilary Stockdon, Scientist
"Christina has the rare gift of creating spaces for deep reflection and inquiry that are safe, supportive, joyful, and empowering."
“Working with Christina over these past three years has had a profoundly positive effect on my personal and professional growth. Christina has the rare gift of creating spaces for deep reflection and inquiry that are safe, supportive, joyful, and empowering. If you are fortunate to be offered the opportunity to be coached, mentored, or trained by Christina, sign up immediately! You will be so glad you did!”
– Kendra Nitta, Attorney
"Most of all she was an incredible champion who was unequivocally on my side."
“Working with Christina helped me broaden my perspective on what I want out of my career and what I’m capable of. During our sessions, she (gently yet assertively) pushed back against a lot of assumptions I had about my potential and competencies. She was able to reframe situations in a way that gave me valuable insight into how I was holding me back and how I could succeed. Most of all she was an incredible champion who was unequivocally on my side. Her guidance was invaluable.”

“Christina gave me a safe place to navigate my circumstances and underlying beliefs and assumptions, while also challenging them.”
“Coaching with Christina is more than just an experience—it’s a deeply rooted and unwavering committed relationship that allowed me the opportunity to glean not only awareness and insights regarding my personal and professional life, but how I can best bridge any gaps that exist in a creative and meaningful way. Coaching with Christina gave me a safe place to navigate my circumstances and underlying beliefs and assumptions, while also challenging them against truth and reality—with compassion, grace, and a rejuvenated sense of enthusiasm. This paradigm shift in my thinking has me thanking Christina not just for her expertise as a Coach, but also as an advocate for happiness, positivity, and the ability to provoke reflective thought to deepen awareness and forward action. Thank you, Christina!”

“It helped change everything…”
“I had never been through coaching before and was unsure about the benefits or how it would affect my life. And….WOW. It helped change everything, and that was in large part due to Christina and the relationship we forged. She welcomed me to the table during each session, just as I was, and helped tease out the issues that I was struggling with. She always ensured that I felt safe and was never pushed – unless I specifically asked her to. She was able to help me delve into the issues I was experiencing around people pleasing, being of service to others (and not looking after myself), and helped me see how I could become the architect of my own destiny. One of the things I’m the most grateful for was when Christina would ask me, “can I push on that a bit?” and turn back the things I would share with a pearl of insight and wisdom. I highly recommend coaching to anyone who is curious about themselves, wanting to come to the table and explore issues, and is open to sharing. And I would highly recommend Christina for anyone needing coaching. I hope we can work together again in the future!”
