Hi there! I’m Christina, Founder and Chief Narrative Strategist of
The New Quo.
Welcome, grab a seat if you ain’t in one already and stay a while.
The New Quo is a leadership development and behavior change training company. I developed The New Quo Change Model which combines neuroscience, DEI principles, and narrative intelligence (a.k.a the science of story), and humor to help leaders change beliefs and behaviors in their interpersonal communication and relationships, so they can overcome bias, deepen trust, and achieve equitable, status-quo breaking goals.
Deeper trust and innovation during moments of change comes from a status-quo shifting story
We face a number of change challenges - culture changes, bias, innovation pressures, and you desire to change the status-quo for the better through your ideas — whether in your personal or professional life. Science shows stories shape everything we think and do, and leadership is the practice of sharing stories to inspire others towards action.
My mission is to help people to discover and use their leadership stories to build deeper trust and collaboration during times of change. Your leadership story is the wisdom and lessons within your own life moments of navigating change. It’s a powerful tool to inspire and guide others toward a shared vision, expresses your values, beliefs, experiences and goals, and builds meaningful trust and collaboration within your relationships, across cultural lines and backgrounds. Your leadership story can be used anywhere, from meetings and conversations, to interviews and presentations. The New Quo Change Model has been used by over 14,000 leaders across 9 industries to use their leadership stories to better communicate change, and is informed by neuroscience, equity principles, narrative intelligence and humor, to help you use narrative to transform yourself, your teams, your communities, and your culture for the better. My services include:
