About Christine Watson

I work with people who desire joy and meaning in their lives, through leadership development, resilience training, effective communication strategies, and mindfulness practices such as forest bathing. As the Founder of Resilient Nature LLC, I have 25 years’ experience creating leadership development programs. Working in finance, manufacturing, food processing, non-profits, and higher education, I am uniquely positioned to understand the nuances of business, and what it takes for leaders to be successful. I am an Authorized Partner of Everything DiSC and a Personal Resilience Practitioner. I am also a Certified Professional in Talent Development. At the heart of my approach to personal development is my love of nature. I am a certified Forest Therapy Guide, and my vision is to live in a world where humans infuse life with joy, connection and nature’s wisdom. My zone of genius is my ability to make real connections with people. I am a great listener, which enables me to uncover the root cause of their problem. I design solutions to address those pain points and help clients see a path forward. What problem are they trying to solve? Is this something I can help them with? If not, who do I know that offers this service? I help others achieve their goals. Whether becoming a better communicator at work or home, leading a team to achieve results, or protecting oneself from the “always on” hustle culture that leads to burnout. My purpose in life is to be the Joy in the Neighborhood. Growing up, my neighbor Joy had an amazing oak tree I climbed, seeking solace among the branches. Joy always made me feel important, like I truly mattered to her. I strive to be the Joy in the Neighborhood, making people feel seen and heard. I believe that is my superpower. My target audience for leadership development is new-in-role leaders. By offering access to the online platform Everything DiSC Catalyst, clients have access to ongoing training through podcasts, conversation starters, and tips for interacting with other DiSC styles. This can be scaled throughout organizations, giving everyone information on how to better communicate with each other. I am passionate about the role nature plays in our lives. Just as nature has seasons of renewal, growth, harvest, and rest, so must we as humans recognize our need for the same. By seeing ourselves as part of nature, rather than separate from it, we can learn to recognize the “seasonality” of our work and produce better outcomes.
