  • In this talk, Christine shares her experience of how three women with a mental illness changed the trajectory of her life for the better by helping her reshape the way she viewed those living with mental health issues. Instead of coming from a place of power over others, and wanting to help or fix people, she learned to look for the gifts and listen from a place of non-judgement. This in turn allowed her to watch and listen for wisdom which framed her experiences and life's mission. From the front lines of community mental health to senior management, to global consulting and training, Christine has pursued her life’s passion on raising awareness of mental health issues in the workplace and providing tools on how to develop resilience.
    As the President of StarlingBrook Leadership Consulting, Christine infuses every leadership training with guidance and awareness of our mental health and the impact it has on how we show up as leaders. Awareness is great but action is better. Globally, Christine teaches leaders how to support mental health issues in the workplace to enhance compassion and productivity. She is an executive coach and certified resilience practitioner. Some of her clients have included, Toyota, PepsiCo, Porter Airlines, Staples, Deloitte and first responder.
    She is an Amazon number 1 best seller and focuses on liberating people from their limiting beliefs. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    That's what I try to say to people around me: DON'T try to fix me, it's not your job.. just be there and support me through the highs and lows.

      I have a sister . She is always in crises . She pours her emotional distress out upon me for hours and hours at a time .
      It is painful .
      I hurt for her because I care deeply about her .
      Sometimes I want to fix her and express "suggestions" because I can barely stand the pain .
      I fail in that way over and over again .
      😢😢😢

      @jackieann5494 It's very important for you as a loved one to not try to fix her problems. That's up to her and the professionals. By trying to fix things, you just tear your relationship apart and make yourself feel worse. Many of my relationships has been destroyed because they tried to fix me.
      I know you want to help because you love the person, but you really can't. Your support is enough. 💕

    Christine, thanks for sharing your story and learnings. The childhood-developed "fixer" is a part of nearly every helper-type I've met (including me!). It's so liberating when we can shed these layers of trauma and show up with authenticity in our work.

    Checking in, asking questions, being curious and showing empathy are often the greatest ways of fostering genuine growth for both individuals and collective community. Mental health is such a personal struggle... how are we meant to understand an individual life without such inquiry? We can all believe we "know" what's best and we may... for ourselves. I love the way this talk journeys through your life, to the lives of people you've cared for and into your introspective self.
    This is a beautiful talk. Thank you, Christine. I deeply appreciate your vulnerability.

    Wow Christine- its like your biggest obstacles became your most important lessons. That core assessment of “I am the fixer” causes so much pain in relationships. Creates a big obstacle of self righteousness for the fixer and takes away the self agency of other we think we need to repair. So many beautiful insights here for leadership development- when is your book coming out? ❤❤❤

    I feel like I’m experiencing this as someone with adhd. I feel as though im coping well with life. And, in general, im proud of my accomplishments. But I find that when I work with people they try to fix me. I definitely walk to the beat of my own drum. But I’m tired of feeling like I have to fit into a box to be accepted or validated.

    Don't fix anyone but atleast give them suggestion to get out of a certain problem. It doesn't mean that you are poking your nose in others matter. Its like a helping hand to someone going through difficult times of his/her life. Give suggestions but don't impose those. After all this is what the brotherhood is !!

    Do tech them , give them tools and skill
    For the time when "U" can not be there to help or support them !
    No one will be there for you forever !
    And not all decision lead to happy ending !
