Founder Coach Pony

The Revolutionary Club

Have you ever felt stuck, drained or frustrated in your career? Ready to find your passion and looking for help or a boost? 

We get it.

And that is why we founded The Revolutionary Club, the number one destination for smart women who won't settle for anything but career happiness. Powered by Christie Mims, a former stuck-in-her-suit career woman turned get-women-like-her-unstuck career coach, The Revolutionary Club offers:

   * Compassionate yet courageous career advice -- We might smack you around, but you'll come back asking for more.

    *Guidance -- Need help? Wondering what's next? Looking for a mentor as you make the next leap? Our career assessments, training, and personalized career coaching makes getting help and getting where you want to go a breeze.

    *Resources -- There's never a one-size-fits-all solution at the RevClub. We believe in choices, and you'll find plenty of those here to get your career to the appropriate level of kicka$$ you deserve and crave.

The benefits to loving your job are many (keep in mind, we spend over 3000 hours a year at work, so if you don't like it, that is a LOT of time being unhappy), but the Revolutionary Club is about more than just loving what you do - it's about creating a life that you love.

Office Assistant

Are you a senior leader, about to embark on an ambitious change programme?

Do you have a new strategic vision that requires a shift in how your teams work together? 

Are you facing a mix of engagement, commitment and perhaps even capability levels for the journey ahead?

Would you like a proactive, high performing team who are overcoming obstacles with you - not battling *you*?

Is it important to have accountability, not excuses; a drive to find solutions and mitigations rather than piling on the problems?


If so, I can help.

As an executive coach, I act as an external thinking partner in service of delivering sustainable change across the business.  

Meeting regularly over a 6-12 month period, you get tailored support that goes beyond simply the design and launch stages of your transformation - maintaining momentum through the challenges of implementation and embedding, where even the best laid plans can falter and fizzle out.

Working together, you won’t be alone as you:
- Hold yourself and others accountable to agreed commitments
- Problem solve unexpected setbacks
- Connect across departments to ensure joined up decision making
- Enhance relationships in all directions through open conversations 
- Leverage strengths within your team, as well as supporting stretch for growth 

As you go from design to execution and optimisation, you will have an impartial partner to help you consider multiple perspectives, think through options and decisions, and strengthen your own leadership style.


Why me?

I’m not just here to help you create a shiny vision, leaving when energy and inspiration is at a high.  I’m here as you get through the ‘messy middle’ and out the other end, cementing the impact so that your vision becomes a reality, and you get the benefits you came for.

As an external partner, I’m not a part of the system that you are working within - I can see it more objectively, surface hidden assumptions, and operate with the headspace to prioritise your needs.

I’ve spent my 14 year career developing individuals and teams in organisations experiencing wide-scale change, across industries as varied as luxury fashion, telecoms, food retail and financial services.

And my hands-on experience is bolstered by professional qualifications: from an MSc in Organisational Behaviour and ICF accredited executive coaching training to a range of psychometric tools that support self-awareness.  

If you want to enhance team effectiveness as you head in a new strategic direction, get in touch to see how we can best work together.
