Because your decisions already carry weight, your presence should too.
You know you’re competent and capable, but you don’t always come across with the same authority. The overthinking and second-guessing isn’t a “you’re not a real leader” problem, it’s a presence problem. The 180° Shift is where we fix that gap, so the way you think, speak, and show up finally matches the quality of the decisions you’re already making.
Because in every room, your signals speak before your words do.
What's actually happening when you "don't sound confident"
Your Inner room is noisy.
You walk into the conversation already carrying tension, self-doubt, or "don't mess this up" energy.
Even if you don't say it out loud, that inner noise is getting in the way of focusing on the moment itself.
Your words are saying one thing, your signals are saying another.
You may be saying the right sentences, but your tone, pacing, facial expressions, and body language are contradicting your own point.
This sends mixed signals in your message (that others notice).
People believe your signals over your message.
People read how you speak before they fully register what you're saying.
When the signals being sent don't match up, people end up trusting the uncertainty more than your expertise.
That's the gap the 180 Shift is built for.
Here, we don't just tweak your "communication skills."
​
We work on the three core signals you're always sending so that your executive presence stops being this vague "be more confident" enigma and instead becomes your source of credibility, authority, and influence.

What Executive Presence Really Is
How my process works
Most definitions of executive presence sound vague:
"have gravitas," "be polished," "project confidence."
I teach my clients that executive presence is the result of three psychological states.
​
When these three are in place, people experience you as a steady, clear, and credible leader, without you feeling like you're having to perform.
And the best part? Each of these is a skill, not a personality trait.
1. Emotional Ease
Your inner room feels steady enough to lead.
This is what's happening in your mind. Here, you learn to develop the emotional intelligence and emotional capacity to remain calm, confident, and controlled during high-pressure situations, so that your nerves stop getting the best of you.
Think of it as emotional intelligence you can feel.
This creates your
inner signals.
2. Natural Confidence
You sound like yourself when it matters.
This is what's happening with how you speak. Here, you learn to say what you mean at the level you actually think, in a way that lands with others.
Natural confidence is what happens when you trust your thinking enough to say it simply.
This creates your
verbal signals.
3. Effortless Influence
Your non-verbals and message say the same thing.
This is the effect you have in the room. Here, you learn to use the right body language, facial expressions, and overall presence so that people listen, take you seriously, and implement what you say.
This is how you create influence built on trust, not on how hard you sell your point.
This creates your
visual signals.
The 180 Shift is where we work on all three.
Inside my coaching, we correct the three types of signals that shape how leaders are seen, trusted, and followed. We use psychology and behavioural science to make small, deliberate changes in how you think, speak, and show up. When you change your signals, you change how people respond to you. This is what takes your executive presence from vague and "underdeveloped" to impactful, influential, and authentic.
If your signals wrote your performance review, would you meet your expectations?
Use this Executive Presence Playbook to audit exactly how you're currently coming across & understand how to fix your signals. If you've downloaded my 180 Signals Assessment, this will give you a deeper look at where your presence and competence aren't matching yet.
TESTIMONIAL
"What truly sets Christina apart is her attention to detail and understanding of audience dynamics. She taught me how to use non-verbal cues - like strategic camera distance and deliberate hand gestures - to amplify engagement and make a lasting impact. These were subtle, yet powerful adjustments that completely elevated my delivery."

Inside the 180 Shift
This is my high-touch, psychology-driven executive coaching program for leaders and founders who want to be taken seriously at a high level, without having to push harder to get there.
This is where we work on your strategic thinking, your leadership influence, and how your executive presence is perceived, so your impact grows (and not your workload).
Your Private Leadership Advisory
THINK OF THIS AS THE INNER ROOM BEHIND EVERY ROOM YOU LEAD IN.
This is a weekly conversation about the aspects of your leadership you usually keep to yourself. For 12 weeks, you get one quiet, confidential hour that's just for you.
We take your real-life moments and look at what was going on in your mind, what you said, and what the room likely read from your signals. Then, we make specific edits to how you think and approach your leadership and communication.
​
We look at where your communication wasn't up to your own standards, and where your signals didn't match your message. With each session, these edits add up. The rooms you're in won't change overnight, but how you walk into them does.
​
This isn't a step-by-step coaching program. It's a coaching experience tailored to your specific needs, personalized to your most impactful transformation.
Christina took me on a journey of behavioral knowledge and helped me to discover how to use my full potential. There is no way to remain in the surface when we connect with someone with such deep knowledge.

What the 180 Shift Means for you.
Your 180 Shift looks like you walking into conversations that used to require mental prep and rehearsal... and realizing your mind is clear and your thoughts are coherent. Your mind is present, and what you say reflects what you know.
​
It looks like you waking up one day and realizing you're living up to the standards you previously thought you wouldn't reach.
​
You start to notice a subtle but very real shift: the way you carry yourself matches the level of responsibility you've been operating at.
​
People respond differently.
Conversations are smoother.
Hesitation disappears.
That's the 180.
