ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Executive Leadership Advisor & Founder, VFI Leadership

Christy's authority is rooted not in theory alone, but in the transformation she has lived. After fully recovering from advanced Stage 12 burnout, marked by more than 20 stress-related medical conditions, she did not simply return to leadership.


She spent years diagnosing the exact patterns that had driven her to that edge and developed what is now known as the Trauma Default™ Pattern Method, delivered as the Pattern Reset Method.

Why the World’s Most Influential Leaders Seek Her Expertise

A Harvard Business School alumna and Certified Executive Leadership Coach from Georgetown University.

 

Christy has a deep background in crisis managment and is the 13th African American woman to attain the rank of Commander in the U.S. Coast Guard; an institution where precision, composure under pressure, and strategic communication aren't just aspirational competencies, but requirements for survival.


Christy's rare convergence of military precision, academic rigor, and the hard-won human insight of someone who has walked through burnout and back defines every engagement VFI delivers.


Christy's leadership presence is grounded, diagnostic, and deeply transformative. She does not teach what she has read. She teaches what she has recovered from, rebuilt, and proven across hundreds of engagements with leaders at every level of the enterprise.
 


When Christy enters an organization, people change, and they don't go back. It's been proven time and time again. Whether it's a keynote, half-day, or full-day of training or executive coaching. Her insight delivers an immediate ROI that busy leaders need to commit to the habits that ensure sustainable success.  

Christy’s mission is to help leaders achieve more while working 50% less.
