MEET OUR FOUNDER
Lisa Christen founded Christen Coaching & Consulting to bring rigorous leadership development to organisations across Switzerland, Europe and beyond. She now focuses her personal practice on advisory work with CEOs and senior leadership teams navigating complex, high-stakes situations.
Her belief: the quality of leadership at the top determines everything below it. Building that quality — in individuals, teams, and cultures — is what this firm exists to do.
Our Core Values
We Practice Curiosity
We're curious people who like to look at the world with imagination and wonder. We encourage all of our employees and clients to get curious about their world. Through curiosity, we can get engaged and motivated by our work and the people around us. Curiosity is the true root of learning, developing, and growing ... and ultimately succeeding.
We Balance Doing With Being
We believe that action is important -- and equally as important is who you need to BE in order to DO what you need to do. If your next step is a challenge, we encourage BEING courageous. If your next step is a burden, we encourage BEING patient. Focusing on how to BE opens new possibilities for what you can DO.
We Foster Trust
We believe the most important thing we can provide is a safety net of trust for our employees, customers and community. Through trust, we feel safe enough to get innovative, to learn from a beginner's mindset, and to continue feeling accepted as a part of the team even when we make a mistake. Personal development and growth can only occur where trust thrives and we believe this trust will spur great innovation and achievement.
We Create Fun
Innovation, creativity, engagement -- they all come with a degree of fun! Our business decisions are serious and important... and remaining playful and curious helps us to open ourselves to new ideas and solutions that weren't available to us just through analyzing spreadsheets. When we're engaged and enjoying what we're doing, great work gets completed and we find our day-to-day life meaningful and enjoyable.
TESTIMONIALS
If you're looking for a partner who can unlock what’s really holding your leadership team back, Lisa Christen and her team are the ones to call. Lisa didn’t just guide us through strategic planning; she fundamentally shifted how we work together.
Lisa worked with our team for over 5 years and several strategic retreats. Lisa helped us surface unspoken tensions, uncover blind spots, and move through tough, high-stakes decisions with clarity and confidence. Her guidance brought both strategic direction and emotional alignment, giving us a clear action plan the entire team could stand behind.
Lisa doesn’t just add value: she has transformed our trajectory, we couldn't have done it without her!
Lisa Christen is unlike any other Executive Coach out there. She’s exceptionally sharp and insightful; she really knows how to get to the heart of what matters most very quickly. Lisa always finds a way to help me push beyond my comfort zone and she's helped me to achieve results far beyond what I imagined could have been possible.
I’ve attended a lot of leadership development seminars and trainings over the years, but it was the Executive Coaching experience with Lisa that had an outsized impact on my career. I found the process so valuable that I even extended our original agreement! I can honestly say, I’m not the same leader I was before our Executive Coaching together. I can only recommend any executive looking to develop their leadership skills to work with Lisa Christen.
Lisa Christen delivered a powerful and thought-provoking keynote at our Global Leadership Conference. Her session on ‘The Market Leader’s Mindset’ inspired our senior leaders to think beyond incremental growth and step fully into bold, future-focused leadership and action.
Lisa combines strategic clarity with real-world relevance, translating complex leadership shifts into practical, actionable insights. Her message resonated deeply with our diverse leadership team—and sparked meaningful conversations that have continued long after the event.
We would gladly welcome Lisa back for future engagements and highly recommend her to any organization ready to lead – and act – at the next level.
I've had the great fortune of working with Lisa Christen as an elite executive coach over the past few years—and I can say without hesitation that she is exceptional. Lisa has a rare ability to help you transcend not just your circumstances, but your own mindset. Her coaching isn't about surface-level advice; it's about reshaping how you think, lead, and grow.
One moment stands out vividly: I was working through a complex challenge, and through Lisa's insightful questioning, she helped me recognize a deeper pattern—that I tend to bring a high level of resilience to tough situations. That mindset has helped me lead through uncertainty, but Lisa helped me see that the real skill lies in flexing it with intention: knowing when to lean in, and when to step back. That distinction has stayed with me ever since—and made me a more effective leader.
Lisa brings both precision and presence to every conversation. She has a gift for helping leaders not just overcome obstacles, but expand their own limits. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about performing at the highest level of leadership.
