A library of 3-4 minute videos covering the most common challenges managers and supervisors face, and how to overcome them. Each episode: one challenge, three practical moves, one thing you can do today.
No fluff. No filler. Just insight you can act on before your next meeting.
For managers in their first leadership role, navigating the transition from peer to leader.
For leaders ready to think bigger, influence more broadly, and earn greater responsibility.
For experienced leaders focused on sustaining teams, preventing burnout, and building something that lasts.

The Team Culture Assessment takes about five minutes and gives you a scored read on the four dimensions that research consistently links to team performance. No email required. No sales follow-up. Just honest data about where you are.
Psychological Safety
Do people on your team feel safe enough to speak up, disagree, and bring you the hard stuff?
Feedback Culture
Does honest, specific feedback flow in both directions, or does it get softened until it loses meaning?
Coaching vs. Directing
Are you developing the people around you, or have you become the ceiling on what your team can achieve?
Accountability Without Fear
Does your team own outcomes, or do people manage upward to stay out of trouble?
Grounded in research from Amy Edmondson, Carol Dweck, David Rock, and Daniel Goleman.

Why work with me
That's not a line. It's the whole point.
I didn't come into coaching from a training room. I came from the work itself: leading teams, managing managers, navigating complex organizations, and figuring out most of it without anyone showing me how.
My career has spanned private enterprise, nonprofit leadership, and state government, most recently as a Program Manager with a state Department of Human Services, where I led a team of 10 managers across a complex, high-stakes environment.
My primary focus is Positive Intelligence (PQ), and I work with EQ frameworks across my client base. Not to categorize people, but to help you lead them better.
From clients
Business Owner · Southern Oregon"Working with Christian and Interface Coaching has been a definitive turning point. He provided the confidence and direction I needed to take a situation that felt overwhelming and transform it into powerful, positive momentum. It feels as though we've been slingshot toward a future where my shared dreams and goals are finally within reach for everyone's benefit.
Through our collaboration, I have established a balance that actually works: a fulfilled personal life, a business structure that makes sense, and a financial strategy that has already paid for itself many times over. Honestly, Christian has been one of the greatest assets I've ever had. He possesses an incredible gift for taking complex, messy problems and articulating them so clearly that the entire team gets energized and fully on board.
There were so many moments when I felt stuck, unable to see the solutions right in front of me, but he was always there to help me clear the fog. Once the team began rowing in the same direction, it felt as if the anchors were finally lifted. We are now moving with a level of speed and efficiency I knew was possible all along, and I am incredibly grateful for Christian's partnership."
"Interface Coaching has helped me grow immensely both professionally and personally over the years. Running a business comes with constant challenges, unexpected situations, and difficult decisions, and having someone I could trust for guidance made a huge difference. Working through issues involving events, partnerships, and day to day business growth, I became more confident in myself, more grounded in my decision making, and more successful overall. The support and perspective I gained from Christian helped me navigate challenges with more clarity and trust in my abilities."Business Owner · Central Oregon
"Christian's coaching has helped me structure my coaching conversations with the teams in a way that is logical and encourages mutual respect. Lots of valuable conversations as a result."Executive Director · Oregon Performing Arts Center
