Empowering leaders to bring out the best in themselves and others - one positive shift at a time.

You can live and lead with more curiosity, resilience, confidence, creativity and joy. In fact, you need to fuel these superpowers to navigate today's uncertain world, lead others with bold enthusiasm, and thrive in your daily life. If you love to learn, grow and be the best version of yourself, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Christine Hockman, founder of One Degree Shifts, Certified High Performance Coach®, PQ® Mindset Coach, Keynote Speaker, entrepreneur, wife and boy mom with a superpower of turning problems into possibilities - and activating this skill in others.

I'm driven by these beliefs:

🌟You can find the gift, lesson and opportunity inside any challenge - with the right mindset and tools (and I can get you there).

🌟You can create massive transformations over time by focusing on small, doable shifts - success hinges on your ability to sustain positive habits and consistency.

🌟You can show up more intentionally, improve relationships and reduce conflict - with the right influence, EQ and communication tools.

🌟You can activate the BEST in yourself each day and inspire others to do the same - creating a lasting positive ripple effect and legacy.

🌟”Soft skills” are THE skills every leader needs to effectively lead teams through today’s challenges with vision, positivity and optimism.

I believe leadership is a privilege and responsibility that requires extreme ownership: where we own our thoughts, reactions, presence and behaviors, along with the profound impact we have on others.

Leaders can light fires in people or snuff the fire out fast. It takes a higher level of intentionality to show up as your highest self and empower others to bring their best to each day. The good news is that anyone can do it, with the right tools and a hunger to learn and grow. It all starts with making small shifts in your thinking and habits.

Small shifts = big results

Consider that when a boat sets off at sea or a rocket heads to space, if it shifts just one degree, it can land thousands of miles in a new location.

Imagine it. You’re out at sea. Following a new path, seeing and experiencing new things, and ending up in a new destination. All from one small shift.

Your life follows the same principle.

Each small shift you make — each thought, each habit, each decision — can change the trajectory of your life, who you meet, where you go and what you experience.

Knowing where you’re headed is critical. Pointing yourself in the right direction, staying in alignment to your North Star, and taking consistent small steps are more important than speed and operating at a frantic, chaotic pace.

This philosophy will empower you and your whole organization to focus on what’s most important, get in your zone of genius and move the needle on what truly matters.

My life and thousands of clients’ lives have forever changed because of small shifts - and yours can, too.

As an executive coach for leaders, workshop facilitator for teams, and keynote speaker, I can guide you (or your group) on a growth journey! 🧭

I’ve been personally trained by Brendon Burchard as a Certified High Performance Coach® and Shirzad Chamine as a PQ (Positive Intelligence) Mindset Coach® so I can deliver the world’s most advanced and effective programs based on neuroscience, positive psychology and performance science.

These programs will empower you to develop healthy habits, lasting confidence, empowering leadership skills, and the mental resilience necessary to transform problems, challenges and setbacks into gifts, lessons and opportunities.
