Christie Garcia is a Leadership Coach, Speaker, Facilitator, and Founder of the digital Mindful Choice Leadership Academy. She has 17 years of experience in sales, recruiting, and coaching. In 2009, Christie had a life-changing fall from a 30ft fire escape. Luckily, she walked away with no physical damage and a huge reality check to start living her next chapter. After ten years within the walls of corporate business, working as a recruiter and in sales management in the healthcare industry, Christie increasingly grew frustrated watching talented individuals be promoted to management and fail to reach their leadership potential. She courageously left corporate America and started her leadership coaching business, Mindful Choice. Over the last 11 years, she has worked with business owners and leaders from fast-growing & modern organizations including Airbnb, Twitter, Movement For Life, and Sunrun. Christie builds programs that help individuals and teams maximize their impact through self-awareness, ownership, communication, alignment, and accountability. One of Christie’s super-powers is helping her clients manage their Ego and build authentic confidence so they can show up 100% in business and life. Christie’s modern approach is designed to be simple. You have to choose to be 1% better every day.
