After a distinguished 20 year career in the high tech industry, Christine Mann, a life long athlete and health advocate, has given up her high heels for paddock boots and is using her expertise as an executive coach to help riders develop winning strategies.

She works with people who are passionate about achieving their personal best and ready to demonstrate positive change. In her coaching, she brings a strong emphasis on health and wellness, stress reduction and life management skills to her clients.

Chris has held leadership positions at five Fortune 100 companies. She has been a guest lecturer at the Harvard Business School, Northeastern University and Boston University. Chris holds a BA degree in Psychology and an Ed. M in Organization Development, both from Boston University. She is a devoted practitioner of yoga, meditation, and Aikido.

In 1997, Chris became a riding student at a hunter/jumper barn in the Dover~Sherborn area of Massachusetts. Exhilarated by both the challenges and rewards of riding, it has become a central focus of her life today. She regularly applies her own coaching tools and techniques to her experience in the saddle. This practice has accelerated her learning curve and helps her to compete successfully.

The First Step

The coaching process begins with the client and the coach talking confidentially to identify specific goals. With the client's permission, additional information is gathered from instructors, sponsors, and others close to the rider. A plan is developed, and coaching sessions begin on a committed schedule. Sessions can occur both in~person and via telephone.

How it works

Coaching takes place over time. Many people who work with a coach find that a minimal commitment of six sessions is required to create change and reinforce the learning. Coaching sessions can be scheduled weekly or bi~weekly, as travel and training demands permit. As the relationship develops, coaching agreements for six months or longer are not uncommon.
