Christine is an absolute firecracker! Having grown up in North Palmie in NZ, Christine loved sport, particularly hockey. Once she discovered hockey, she became totally focused on it and it informed many of her early career decisions, as she wanted whatever she was doing to fit in with the sport! She studied for as long as possible (because of the student allowance and flexibility it offered her for training), and she rose through the hockey ranks until she was playing for NZ.
Christine has so much enthusiasm, it is positively bursting from every pore, so when she was told that she would have to have an operation to fix her Achilles tendons in both feet, the doctor told her they would do them both at the same time as it was the only way they could guarantee that she would stay still long enough for them to heal! And then she went back to playing, coaching, and working with elite athletes just like her.
After a move to Australia to follow her partner, it wasn't long before the two of them decided to set up a business coaching leadership skills to women. The WALT Institute was named by a friend and mentor of theirs, as an acronym for Womens Authentic Leadership and Training. Great name! You will love Christine's passion and positivity in this interview!
