"I thoroughly enjoyed the class with Christine. She has the ability to engage each participant in an authentic and thought-provoking way. I found myself thinking about my current work differently and expanding my definition of the type of work I want to be involved with in the future. It was a very helpful and worthwhile experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to clarify their goals around work and life." - Debra, HR Manager
"I hired Christine to guide and counsel me through some very difficult times in my career. Not only did her guidance help me get through the tough times, with her help I was actually able to make a large impact on my firm and shift the negative atmosphere into a much more positive work environment. I highly recommend contacting Christine to increase your performance and satisfaction in employment.” — Ashley Geyer, Attorney
"I had my doubts about working with a Career Coach and probably would not have contacted Christine had an engineer friend of mine not recommended her. Christine's approach is practical, concrete, and effective. I left our sessions feeling like I had new tools to use, and found her particularly helpful with interview preparations. I was told on more than one interview that I asked great questions, all of which I came up with while meeting with Christine one session. I have sent 3 more of my friends to Christine because of how successful I felt my time with her was." — Mary Beth Mulcahy, PhD
“Christine was very helpful in my transition from working as an employee in a clinic to starting my own business. I would hire her again in the future for any further transitions.”
— Kathy Isacks, MPS, RD
“Christine is a joy to work with and is very creative in suggesting ways for you think about where you are with your work and where you want to be - her input was invaluable. Thanks Christine!” — Amy Reavis Sinn

From Organizations
“Christine
facilitated a series of bi-weekly sessions with our HR team to address
and manage job challenges. Her sessions are of a high quality and
customized, and she is outstanding in planning, organization, and
follow up. Christine is innovative and creative, providing useful
ideas, not just theories. She has a positive attitude and demonstrates
her expertise with respect. She encourages integrity from participants,
and they trust her.”
— Emily Willcock, HR Manager for Carmel Community Living
Corporation
"We hired Christine to support
our leadership team in becoming
more effective at handling stress and staying healthy in a high stress
environment. In addition to her in depth knowledge on the subject, I
appreciated Christine's approach to planning and delivering the
material. I liked that she didn't depend on a preconceived Power Point
to present the material. Instead she adapted the content to meet the
current needs of the participants and kept us on course- outstanding!
She also followed up each class with reviews and reminders- that was
cool!
Our leadership team agreed. Their feedback included:
- Very interactive classes that helped me learn not only the material but how it relates to me.
- She didn't just give generic answers. She made sure the answer was complete and understood.
- The classes were well planned to fit our goals.
- She gave us great things we could do to keep us focused and stress-free outside of class. I'm managing stress much better.”
— Carl Simpson Executive Director, Denver 911
“Christine Gust is an exrtaordinary consultant! I have used her coaching services numerous times as a small business owner needing HR consulting. Many times she has coached me to handle my employees in situations where I had no experience. Asd a result of her coaching, I have been able to negotiate employee challenges positively, with respect, honesty, clarity and love. You can't find a warmer, more joyful and more supportive coach than Christine! I recommend her to anyone who wants HR issues to be handled as HUMAN resources rather than legal protection.” — Sandra Zimmer, President and Fouder, The Self-Expression Center
"Christine has a true gift in meeting people exactly where they are, without judgment or criticism. Her presentations are clear, concise, common sense, and inclusive. Above all, they are engaging and FUN! her work helps to expand people's professional options exponentially. One leaves with a shift of mindset from "stuck" to "sufficiency" to ultimately "success" and "satisfaction." — Dr. Shelley Kappel
“Being
in a group facilitated by Christine helped me feel more supported, and
I now have more trust in my ability as a Human Resources manager. I
have better skills in understanding and communicating with employees
and empowering them to resolve issues. I am also more aware of my own
stress level and how to de-stress. Christine gently guided me toward
the experience that I knew, or had hoped, my job could be."
— Holly Harris, Human Resources Manager
“Unexpected
presentation but very much to the point
as to what needs to happen to have happy employees. A refreshing way to
look at retention. She asked about our needs at the start and covered
them. It was great, and I want more.”
