Work with ChristyClients include:
You've achieved extraordinary success, but you're running on empty.
The same drive that got you to the executive level is now burning you out. What if you could maintain peak performance while finally feeling fulfilled, connected, and in control?
I'm Christy Rutherford, and for 25 years, I've been the trusted advisor to leaders who refuse to choose between success and well-being. Through my proprietary methodology, I help global CEOs and Fortune 500 executives eliminate the root causes of burnout while enhancing the leadership capabilities that matter most.
The Result? Leaders who perform from choice, not compulsion. Executives who build authentic relationships, make strategic decisions with clarity, and create sustainable success without sacrificing their health, relationships, or peace of mind.
Are You Suffocating in Your Success?
The Executive Burnout Crisis
You've reached the pinnacle of professional achievement, but something's wrong. Despite having everything you worked for, you're:
•Working 80+ hours a week but feeling like you're never doing enough
•Making million-dollar decisions while battling imposter syndrome and self-doubt
•Leading teams and organizations but struggling to connect authentically with colleagues and family
•Achieving record-breaking results but feeling emotionally disconnected from your accomplishments
•Managing complex stakeholder relationships while your personal relationships suffer
•Maintaining a successful public image while privately battling anxiety, stress, and exhaustion
The Hidden Cost of High Achievement
The same hidden patterns that drove your success are now sabotaging your well-being:
•Emotional Reactivity: Board meetings and difficult conversations trigger disproportionate stress responses
•Decision Fatigue: Overthinking every choice because nothing feels "good enough"
•Relationship Strain: Inability to be vulnerable or authentic with colleagues, partners, and family
•Physical Symptoms: Chronic headaches, back pain, high blood pressure, and stress-related illnesses
•Isolation: Feeling like no one understands the unique pressures of executive leadership
•Performance Anxiety: Constant fear of being "found out" despite obvious competence
The Traditional Solutions Don't Work for Executives
•Executive coaching addresses symptoms, not root causes
•Meditation and mindfulness provide temporary relief but don't eliminate the underlying patterns
•Therapy focuses on the past without providing practical tools for high-stakes leadership
•Wellness programs ignore the unique psychological demands of executive decision-making

What Christy's Clients Are Saying...
Tasos Kousloglou, CEO - Hotel Division @ Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited
Working with Christy helped me to make significant progress in several key personal development areas such as leadership presence, self-awareness and communication.
During this period, Christy helped me create a strategic plan for my future and set milestones. As a result I have taken greater risks without fear because we explore the pros and cons of different scenarios and then make plans to take action steps.
Having someone who’s been an executive level leader is beneficial because she understands the landscape and how to make better decisions.
Christy taught me to take time to focus on myself by meditating, exercising and eating better which has improved my quality of life at home and at work. It doesn’t take much, but creating new habits are difficult if you don’t have someone who has your best interest in mind.
Jalisa Johnson, CEO, Virtual Emerging Techonology Solutions
Christy assisted me with significantly improving my quality of life - I improved my executive presence - Learned how to live authentically - Regained my inner peace - took control of things that mattered to me - Grew my business- Focused on my core - Increased my revenue and was able to work smarter and not harder -Started delegating and building my team instead of running a team.
I’m finally living life on my terms. I now have the courage to speak up in meetings instead of just listening. I’m dedicated to doing the work I was born to do and living in my authentic self.
Stella Alamil, VP IIT/CIO Central and Eastern Europe and India
I value Christy’s no-nonsense approach to coaching. She ensures that I answer the right questions to focus on, and more importantly, that I commit to addressing those areas that will fast track my personal and professional development.
Christy has helped me achieve clarity of my bigger purpose and my professional non-negotiables. As a result, I am re-prioritizing my time and energy differently to achieve what I set out to accomplish, while not losing any valuable time away from the people that matter the most.
It takes an impartial leader who has seen, done and still doing it - to provide the right insight to their fellow leaders. Therefore, I trusted Christy - as she can walk the talk – and is committed to seeing her coachees move forward, and upwards.
Ted Brown, Facilities and Helium Production Leader at GE Healthcare
Christy was instrumental in helping me to simplify my seemingly complicated life. What started out as an attempt to balance my work life, turned into sessions to improve both my work life and personal life. Christy shared a number of videos and study resources with me and I was always ready to read her next book fresh off the presses!
My biggest takeaway was controlling the human tendency of spending too much time on the potential negative outcome and instead focusing on the huge upside of a positive outcome. We tend to talk ourselves out of the 10% of effort that will give 200% improvement.
It becomes a habit to naturally think positive when things look the worst, and surely something good happens in the 11th hour. Christy is an incredible personal coach and organizational coach and I highly recommend her proven methodologies. Follow her Laws of Attraction and you won’t be disappointed.
