Grow Your Skills,
Unlock your true potential with expert coaching tailored for venture-backed startup COOs.
Hi, I’m Christie Kerner, and I think life’s too short not to love your workdays. Agree? I like you already.
I love helping people discover their inherent awesomeness and live authentically, especially when they are a startup COO.
Sometimes that means helping you get more clarity so you are free to create better results with less stress while eliminating the head trash that bogs you down.
Sometimes it means coaching you to organize your approach and find your groove so you can confidently lead a team that works together well and delivers amazing results.
And sometimes, it’s simply about helping you decompress by leaning in to connect, celebrate, and boost your happiness in both your business and personal life.
But, in every situation it’s about developing your EQ and COO skills so you can live a more energized, fulfilled life that celebrates the unique gifts that only you can give this world.
I have a knack for helping people rise above the noise, get centered in who they are, and excel in ways they’d only imagined. I look forward to helping you do just that.

I’ve been building companies and leading teams for over 30 years. I’ve been a CEO, COO, Head of Strategy, People, Finance, Marketing, and more. But truth be told, I found my sweet spot in the COO role – I simply love translating vision into reality.
After building and selling a couple of my own companies I doubled down on studying the art and science of leadership. I had coached, mentored, and advised hundreds of founders before getting my Masters Degree in Leadership. Since then, I’ve led many startup executive peer roundtable circles, hosted memorable retreats, and coached entire executive teams across all sizes of startups and growth stage companies.
I love helping leaders of all sorts, but I’ll always have a sweet spot in my heart for those magical beings called COOs. You are the glue that connects the dreamers to the doers, the most essential part of how anything comes to life in this world.
These days I split my time between helping others crack the code on creating a work life they love… and dancing. I’m often found traveling to compete on a world champion west coast swing dance team. As the sign in my office says, I believe there is always a reason to dance. : )
