Christy Anderson Coaching meets clients at the intersection of personal growth and business impact. Anderson is a Deeper Living Coach who brings 25 years of corporate leadership and business development experience to help her clients grow their self-leadership.
“My clients want more from their lives, and I help them define what that looks and feels like and then develop a roadmap to get there. Impact, legacy, and deep self-security are benefits that my business instills in my clients,” Anderson said.
AZF: What is your “life motto”?
CA: Create your own ease! Identify what your superpower strengths are and then use them deliberately. When our action is fueled by purpose and awareness of what our unique skills are, our decisions and lives become much easier.
AZF: Did you always know that you wanted to be an entrepreneur? If not, when did you realize that it was the right path right for you?
CA: I love helping people uncover and live from their passions and talents, which enables them to bring wholeness and authenticity to their relationships and work. In my corporate roles over the last 25 years, I got to do this through building, developing, and leading teams. Getting laid off last year was a pretty big nudge from the universe to jump into my business full-time!
AZF: How do you feel best supported?
CA: I feel best supported when I’m surrounded by people who inspire me. I value collaboration and creative thinking, so when I can be with others who invite me to see alternatives and new possibilities, I thrive!
AZF: What motivates you to keep going amidst the challenges that come with being an entrepreneur?
CA: My life purpose is to engage and inspire others more deeply into their lives, and I receive so much fulfillment when I get to do this. Coming back to my purpose and choosing to be the person I want to be are the reminders that keep me moving through tough days and challenges.
AZF: Describe your perfect Saturday morning.
CA: Getting up with the sunrise, doing a ride on my Peloton, coffee and meditation, walking my dog…all things good for my mind, body, and soul. Then getting a ton of stuff done around the house before anyone else gets up – I love realizing it’s only 10 a.m. and feeling like I’ve already had a full day!
AZF: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?
CA: Invest time to know yourself, your strengths, your values, your talents. Then leverage those pieces to guide your decisions, because it’s easy to get distracted by shiny objects and imposter syndrome!
AZF: What excites you most about being an entrepreneur?
CA: The pace! It’s much faster out here than it was in corporate America. I have been able to bring totally new ideas to life within days, and it’s so encouraging and FUN (and sometimes scary) to be fully responsible for your own timeline.
