Background / Experiences
As a pioneering ‘Visual Coach’, Christina Merkley facilitates individuals, partners and conscious businesses and is a sought after mentor to helping professionals across the globe. Known for her innovative visual methods and progressive mindset, Christina’s work juxtaposes her childhood love of doodling and drawing with a fascinating background in organizational and personal growth. With a Masters Degree in Organizational Development & Transformation (ODT), Christina began her career in the San Francisco Bay area with The Grove Consultants International traveling extensively throughout North America and Europe. In 2001 she launched her independent visual facilitation practice - Make Your Mark, LLC where she honed her skills in strategic planning and visioning working for such notable clients as Hewlett-Packard, eBay, Stanford University, The Institute for the Future and The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Increasing disillusioned with corporate consulting and awakened to the sometimes shortness of life by September 11th (a series of synchronicities kept her from being in New York that fateful day) … Christina evolved her work to integrate the visual methodology with coaching and spirituality – making her base in lovely Victoria, British Columbia, Canada via The SHIFT-IT Coach, Inc brand. Through her popular Certified Visual Coach(r), Fundamentals of Interactive-Graphics, and Magic Marker Mastermind programs she mentors consultants, facilitators, trainers, coaches, therapists and other process professionals from around the world on how to use visual thinking methods with their own clients.
