Christine Hernandez is a business owner, consultant, and leadership coach with a commitment to expanding people’s potential. Over the years, Christine has owned and built 3 multigenerational companies where she created strong, sustainable businesses, teams, and cultures. Now, she’s passionate about working with founders and business owners who are experiencing team dynamic challenges to discover their Vision, Mission, and Core Values so they can better communicate with their team and integrate what matters most to them into their business and team culture.
Here, Christine shares her experiences as an entrepreneur, consultant, and leadership coach, reflecting on both her successes and painful lessons. She describes how a mass team exodus early in her career forced her to rethink leadership, shifting from a “savior” mentality to one rooted in trust, autonomy, and alignment with God.
Christine discusses resilience, burnout, and the importance of rest, self-connection, and learning to both give and receive. She emphasizes celebrating small wins, reframing criticism as opportunities for growth, and building authentic relationships through community initiatives like Coffee and Convos. Christine advises leaders to first clarify their personal vision, mission, and values, and shares her hope that her legacy will be one of love and of helping people truly see their God-given identity.
