“Christine was hired to help the CEO and leadership team of a sub- $400 million dollar telecom equipment business to get some key decisions made at the crucial annual planning off-site. She was able to quickly understand the salient strategic points, the players’ positions and unspoken dynamics and in two days round us up and manage the discussions of a difficult executive team.

“She was able to think quickly –and say things nicely but directly that made us think critically. A few key Christine-isms were quoted by the team for many months to come. Two of specific note, ‘please explain so I can understand how your strategic intention of “leading the industry” is supported by growth to a credible revenue with less than a 2% market share today?’ When a key executive derailed the meeting with technology debate, Christine suggested that ‘the topic sounded important and was worthy of a meeting…but perhaps another meeting, so who would like to take the action to schedule one?’

“She is an excellent executive coach and team referee. Top Qualities: Great Results, Expert, Creative.”

“I could not have become the leader I am today without the support and guidance of Christine Duvivier. She saw my potential and helped me see it too! Not only did she help me see it, she helped me take the steps necessary to take my career to the next level.. She always challenged me to think bigger.”

“For over ten years, Christine Duvivier has been a strategic resource to Haemonetics’ executive leadership. Her role has run the gamut from facilitating strategic planning sessions for executive teams to facilitating employee focus groups around the world that accelerate culture building and transformative change.

“What each experience has in common is Christine’s pragmatic and results oriented approach to facilitation, where process is a means to actionable ends, not a means in itself. She does so by focusing on the business problem to be addressed with thorough preparation, but a light touch during the meetings so that results achieved are genuinely produced and embraced by the group.“In short, her creative and user friendly approach helps turn fuzzy thinking into concrete plans, ready for execution.”
