Testimonials

Christina’s Resilient Leadership workshop series gave me a different perspective on managing stress, priorities and my team. Christina presented the information in an engaging manner; she was knowledgeable, responsive and generous in her delivery.

Overall, the workshops were hugely impactful and have left lasting effects that my whole team appreciates!

Lesli has worked with Christina but on different teams.

Christina supported members of my team in coaching and the results are visible. She is skilled, insightful and has the ability to help clients prioritize what is meaningful for them. Christina also helped transform a large department of my portfolio with her change management strategies. Her approach is client centred and outcomes based. It was a pleasure working with Christina and I highly recommend having her as part of your team.

Christina is a highly skilled HR professional who is highly motivated and can be relied upon to deliver excellent results. She is adept at thinking both tactically and strategically.

Christina took on our team’s leadership development with enthusiasm, knowledge, professionalism and most importantly humor. Her skills in presenting new material as well as including all participants in discussions and exercises during the program has made a noticeable effect on our group back in the workplace.

The workshops Christina facilitated were relevant, practical and enjoyed by my team. She effectively delivered a large amount of information, and was able to distribute it in concise amounts that were easy to absorb and retain.

I looking forward to utilizing Christina’s skills again in the near future and I would recommend her to anyone interested in developing a leadership development approach for their team.

I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Christina a number of times over the years, as both a participant in her workshops, and as a client. For example, during her multi-day workshop on Resilient Leadership, Christina built on leadership depth, not only bringing in the disciplines of neuroscience and psychology, but also creating a safe and engaging environment where people could build on shared learning. Resilient Leadership has been a wonderful skill I have continued to build on, especially during these uncertain times. It was truly a restorative and regenerative experience, focused on building a growth mindset. In addition, Christina served as an excellent facilitator and program lead for our Engineering Mentorship program - focused on leadership development for mid career professionals in engineering and science as well as skilled trades. She infused new ideas into the program as we moved from pilot to sustained programming, ensuring her sessions were interactive, deep and engaging. She was exceptional at following up, being consistent and bringing true value and additional expertise to the program.

Christina is an amazing facilitator and speaker! I have worked closely with her on our in-person and more recently, virtual events. She is engaging, professional, confident and is open to catering her training and speaking content to what suits your organization. I highly recommend Christina from Liberate Leadership for any of your organizations leadership training needs!

I had the pleasure to meet Christina at a leadership course she held for the company I work for. Myself being already into management for many years, I always thought of myself as a leader. During and after Christina's leadership course I found out so many more ways to be a true leader. To better understanding yourself, you can become a better leader. I will keep Christina's lessons and coaching within my day to day interaction with my staff to create more leaders! If you want proven leadership coaching and training, Christina is the best!

Christina was my coach for four months, during which time we tackled several stumbling blocks, and issues I was having in my life. Her coaching sessions provided me with new ways to examine, and break down what I was struggling with so that I could set myself up to succeed at solving the problems rather than continue to put them off or work towards them haphazardly. I continue to use the lessons I learned during my time with Christina to help manage my goals in both my professional and personal life.

Working with Christina is deeply impactful and has provided focus and structure for me to discover and tie my goals with my values.

I am delighted to provide a recommendation for Christina Nikiforuk, Leadership Coach. Her genuine care and concern in our discussions show a high level of sincerity, professionalism and authentic approach to me as a client. Christina also brings an extensive level of knowledge of resources and information in her role as a business coach that she openly shares. As various work commitments and emerging events occur, her willingness to adapt and change our times together is a pleasant aspect of our sessions.

Christina facilitated Insights training for our organization and it was a great success! The staff really connected with her teaching style and approach and her teachings have resonated with them in the months since the training occurred. I highly recommend Christina for any organization looking to enhance their understanding of each other and promote leadership development within the team. Thanks Christina!

Christina has been super helpful in assisting PCRS to deliver some leadership development workshops for our senior leaders (Insights workshops) and other more recent web based training. Christina takes the time to understand what our agency needs and then tailors the workshops to make sure they are as effective as possible. I look forward to working more with her as we continue to pursue our staff learning and development goals and I highly recommend Christina to others interested in this type of consulting/training support!

Parveen worked with Christina but on different teams - I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Christina while my teams were going through a major period of transition and re-focus. She provided a wealth of support to me in my growth as a leader and also was a valuable resource for my team directly. Christina challenged us to have difficult conversations, acknowledge our differences as we work towards a collective purpose. She is an amazing facilitator and coach who is passionate about what she does, and how she shows up in her interactions.

I’ve had the opportunity to spend the last 8 months attending a Leadership Development Program facilitated by Christina. The program offered such a range of topics covering Time Management, Managing Conflict, Coaching, Communication, Insights Discovery and other Leadership Best Practices and so much more! Christina is so well versed in all these areas but what made the program memorable was truly HER & the variety of tools she gave all of the participants. I am so grateful that my company made this investment in me and allowed me to have this opportunity to grow my leadership competencies. Thank you Christina!

As we all have been working extremely hard to adjust to the new way of doing business, managing our teams and supporting our staff through COVID. We find ourselves leaning on past experiences and personal connections to get through these difficult times.

Quite often through the past few months I have found myself going back to some great tools learned through an exceptional leader “Christina”. Through the resiliency training and the leadership work with my management team Christina’s commitment to helping us be resilient leaders, exceptional listeners and a curious team we have been able to help our large workforce remain focussed and positive in providing exceptional customer service.

If anyone is looking to help their teams through these difficult times I highly recommend reaching out to Christina.

Thank you for all you have done.

It was evident when I first met Christina that she was genuinely interested in helping others. Through our coaching relationship Christina continues to provide an environment of trust, empathy and focus.

She provides honest feedback without judgment and challenges and inspires me to explore my path and personal development.
I can’t recommend her enough!

I have been fortunate to have worked with Christina in a couple different capacities, first I was a student in a program that she delivered while she was at the City of Vancouver and second, I have brought her in as an external contractor to help facilitate a leadership development program that I am running for my team. Each time I have worked with her I have been amazed at her passion, knowledge, and ability to engage groups from all walks of life. Christina is one of the best and most energetic facilitators and content developers that I have had the pleasure of working with. She crafted exceptional leadership and mentor training for my team and she has continued to support us well after the program has finished. I have enjoyed working with Christina and can’t recommend her services enough.

I have had the pleasure of working with Christina several times over the last few years and it has always been a productive and positive experience. Most recently, Christina did an Insights Discovery foundations Zoom workshop with approx 30 of our staff and all thought it was enjoyable and were surprised at how fast the 3.5hrs went despite being on a video call. I have worked with Christina both in person and via video conferencing and while in person is always the ideal, we were all impressed at how well the facilitation went on the video call.

I highly recommend Christina for her facilitation skills and work in Insights Discovery and look forward to next year when we take the next steps on this journey.

Christina facilitated my coaching triad sessions at Fraser health over a three-month period. She was very professional, insightful and knowledgeable in her approach to our group. We were able to improve each session by session thanks to Christina's help and support. She provided us with the tools and mindset to achieve our coaching goals. Overall, an excellent experience working with Christina!

I can highly recommend Christina for anyone looking for professional development expertise and assistance. I undertook the 'Leadership Circle' training program in 2021/2022 and found the insights gained from it, and especially my sessions with Christina, highly valuable. She is the perfect guide to accompany you on similar journeys of professional self-discovery

Christina’s Resilient Leadership course was amazing! I’ve been finding it more and more challenging to manage stress and my anxieties; and I feel it is showing in my work and how I work with others. This course really helped me understand the science/psychology behind resiliency and how to put resilient leadership into practice at an individual level.

I've had the great pleasure of having Christina as my leadership coach. Over the last few months we've worked together and she has taught me new things that have positively impacted my career and personal life. Christina introduced me to Amygdala - Fight or Flight, which positively helped my approach towards stressful situations. I hope Christina can continue to share her knowledge with everyone. I definitely would recommend her to anyone that is looking to further expand their leadership knowledge.

Sometimes the best way to take care of others in our roles as leaders, is to take care of ourselves. The demanding public nature of our work requires us to constantly adjust and adapt our work and our priorities. Christina’s Resilient Leadership course provided me with tools and perspective to improve my focus, manage my stress, and increase my resiliency – positioning me to better lead and support my team.

I recently had an opportunity to work with Christina for some coaching sessions. She was an excellent sounding board, insightful, provided valuable feedback that assisted with navigating various challenges and opportunities, and also provided additonal resources after our coaching sessions on the topics we discussed which was quite helpful.
Christina was invested in the sessions, genuinely cared and wanted to help make a difference.
I highly recommend working with Christina for a positive and productive coaching experience.

I had the pleasure of being part of a Leadership Training course ran by Christina and I don’t know where to begin! This course has brought so much value into my career as well as my personal life. So many golden nuggets of knowledge to take away from her. Would highly recommend taking this course to anyone that wants to further their career and just overall life!

Thank you Christina !!!!
