Christie Hardwick, leader and founder of the “Stepping up with Spirited Contribution” movement, personally coaches a limited number of executives every six months. To share her unique and impactful approach with others in a broader setting, Christie has partnered with the Institute for Women’s Leadership as a senior member of the faculty and teaches their proprietary ‘Trade up’ contextual leadership concepts in 1-3 day formats. The vision for the Institute is that a full partnership is required between both men and women in the workplace in order to have a sustainable future for all. The Institute's programs provide the deep experience to make both men and women ready for true partnership.
