The Only Leadership Expert Who Diagnoses Patterns Like the NTSB Investigates Failures

Christy Rutherford is a leadership pioneer whose work stands alone in the industry. Unlike traditional coaches, she brings an unparalleled background in crisis management, where she studied how systems fail under extreme pressure.

Through years of analyzing catastrophic events in the US Coast Guard, she uncovered a universal truth: Nothing collapses suddenly — not bridges, not teams, not leaders. All failures follow a predictable chain of ignored patterns.

This insight became the foundation of Pattern Intelligence, a groundbreaking system that reveals the micro-patterns driving leadership breakdowns, burnout, team dysfunction, family strain, and succession instability.

Christy also created the Trauma Default™ Pattern Method to decode unconscious behavioral patterns and the Pattern Reset Method to reprogram those patterns across health, leadership, performance, and relationships.

Her work is not theoretical. It is evidence-backed, crisis-informed, and uniquely transformative.

 A Track Record Unlike Any Other

Christy has helped leaders achieve extraordinary outcomes:

➜ 300 leaders recovered from advanced burnout 

➜ 200 leaders alleviated anxiety and depression

➜ 70% of clients remained in roles they planned to leave

➜ 40 executives reversed stress-related medical conditions (high blood pressure, diabetes, fibroids, lupus)

➜ 30 marriages restored

➜ $421 million in raises and business revenue earned

These results demonstrate the power and precision of resolving leadership patterns at the root level.

Why the World’s Most Influential Leaders Seek Her Expertise

Christy works at the place where leadership performance truly breaks: beneath the surface, inside the pattern. Her crisis-management background gives her an elite ability to recognize the hidden sequence of behaviors that produce:

• burnout

• reactivity

• poor communication

• strained succession pathways

• emotional exhaustion

• disengaged teams

She is the only leadership expert who approaches human behavior with the investigative rigor usually reserved for high-stakes system failures.
