Shift the leader.

Transform the culture.

Amplify the ripple effect.

Most high-achieving leaders don’t lack skill, strategy, or drive.

They lack the ability to regulate their internal state under pressure—and that’s what silently impacts performance, decision-making, and culture.

Christine Hockman, founder of One Degree Shifts, helps leaders shift out of stress and into the flow of high performance—creating a ripple effect that transforms how their teams think, act, and lead.

Through a blend of neuroscience-based Positive Intelligence® Mental Fitness, Certified High Performance Coaching®, and Conscious Leadership, she helps high-impact professionals lead with clarity, ownership, and purpose.

High performing, empowered teams aren’t built on strategy and values alone.

They’re built on how leaders and teams show up—especially under pressure.

Because when you’re operating from a reactive state—stressed, rushed, overwhelmed, defensive, or stuck—your leadership narrows.

But when you know how to shift, you create space, clarity, and choice.

That’s where true ownership lives.

And that’s what creates the ripple effect that elevates everyone around you.

Because your team will always model your state—whether you realize it or not.

A rising tide lifts all ships.

Empowered leaders. Aligned teams. Elevated Culture.

Christine’s work blends performance science, conscious leadership, and mental fitness—grounded in 19 years of real-world leadership experience.

She helps leaders and teams move from overwhelmed and reactive to clear, confident, and high-performing.

Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and high-impact organizations, she brings proven tools that drive real behavior change.

  • Leaders ready for sustainable performance without burnout—not just short-term push

  • "Working with Christine has been truly transformational—both personally and professionally. After 12+ years of therapy and personal development, I thought I had a strong foundation, but Christine helped me turn insight into real, lasting action. Her ability to quickly identify patterns, ask the right questions, and guide practical, sustainable shifts is unmatched. This work doesn’t just deepen self-awareness—it changes how you show up as a leader, partner, parent, and business owner. The most meaningful part has been the ripple effect. My growth has positively impacted my family, marriage, team, and clients. I consistently leave sessions grounded, focused, and ready to move forward with intention. If you’re a high-performing professional ready for growth that actually translates into daily life and leadership, I can’t recommend Christine highly enough."

    Kari Grof, Owner of Restorative Roots Coaching

  • “You nailed it! You couldn’t have delivered a more perfect message. The responses you evoked were truly heart-warming. So many people commented on how great Christine was and how much they loved the keynote. You connected with them instantly by sharing your own caregiver experience — they felt seen. They especially loved the breathing exercise and the shift from burnout to ‘I get to.’ Thank you for making our audience feel validated and appreciated in their work of love!”

    Cristen Kane, conference organizer

  • "Christine is a 'One in a Million.' As a person and coach, her energy, caring, honesty, integrity, and intelligence in her field and as a person is impeccable. It is always a joy to talk with her and one of those meetings where you just get excited to talk to her. I highly recommend her as a coach, in the end you will be a much better person."

    Jim Masonbrink, Director, Small Business Hub at Wright Brothers Institute

  • "Christine has helped me get rid of old limiting beliefs, thoughts and patterns so I can move forward into the future with purpose and in a heart-aligned way. I’ve established new habits to create more energy, focus, happiness and health in my life, and gained the confidence and tools to persuade others in a positive way."

    Mona Magurk

  • "Christine is a true gem and working with her has helped me "level-up" both personally and professionally. I have learned invaluable skills that I can continue to apply into the future. Her passion for her work shines through with each conversation and she skillfully tailors each session to address challenges and areas for growth. Working with Christine has been essential for my professional development."

    Diana Kingsbury, Non-profit Leader

  • "These sessions have been spot-on with what I’ve needed to help me be the best leader and best person I can be. Going through the coaching and mental fitness programs with my co-worker has had a profound impact on our relationship and our productivity in the business."

    Todd Bertsch, Owner of Evolve Marketing

  • “My biggest shift has come from within. I have more self-awareness and confidence because when I'm putting in the work, I'm putting myself in the best situation for success. Christine has been a master coach who has taken me through the steps to gain that confidence in myself. I fully recommend anyone looking to gain an edge to take her coaching sessions!"

    Connor McCluskey, Product Innovation Manager

  • "In a time where I had more transitions in the business that I ever could have imagined, Christine helped me reign it in and focus. I’ve come out stronger and more capable, self-assured and confident. She called me to a better version of myself. She can see the person who is in there and draw it out of them. Every business needs a Christine."

    Melissa Farnsworth, Owner of Marigold Wellness Collective

  • “Christine is a phenomenal coach and I’m so grateful I found her to empower me to take the next step and start my own my business. If you need a kick in the butt to get to the next level and be your best self, reach out to Christine. I promise you won’t regret it!"

    Michelle Miller, Owner of Creativate

  • "If you've ever considered working with a coach like Christine but wondered if it was worth it, the answer is "YES!” It's an investment in yourself, first and foremost. And it's incredibly rewarding when you realize you're showing up better not only for yourself, but also for your team, your loved ones, and really anyone you encounter on a daily basis. I'm grateful for Christine and I'm a much better human for knowing and working with her."

    Sierra Guterba, VP of Operations

  • "I would equate having Christine as a coach to having a friend, accountability partner, and teacher. Not only is she very knowledgeable about methods and best practices for structuring a business, but she also possesses a wealth of knowledge when it comes to mindset, psychology and strategies for effectively handling challenges that come with being an entrepreneur, and prioritizing one’s well-being over all else."

    Laura Baptiste, entrepreneur
