Our Team
Christina Marshall, President
Fascinated by thinking processes since childhood, Christina's early research, while earning a Master's degree in Rhetoric & Communication from Temple University, led to a new paradigm for understanding decision making that was almost impervious to learning, even in the face of significant failure.
Propelled by a vision to make a better world by enabling people to think better about choices, Christina shifted her attention to communication processes that generate expansive and continuous learning and, for over 20 years, has been working with people to accomplish better results by coaching, training coaches, and developing coaching integrated professional practices.
In 2000, Christina was asked to create coach training specifically for health & wellness professionals and created a brand new coach training curriculum with a singular focus: eliciting best thinking and decision making so people can create results that are important to them. In 2002, Christina provided the "how to" of her company's breakthrough coaching methodology to The Wellness Councils of America, which dedicated all nine articles to it in their October 2002 workplace wellness journal, Absolute Advantage.
In 2003, Christina discovered that axiology, a science of thinking founded by Dr. Robert S. Hartman, helped explain the profound results of her coaching methodology, further defined best thinking as increased intrinsic thinking, and branded her methodology as Intrinsic Coaching®. In that same year, Christina agreed to sponsor the Intrinsic World Movement™, dedicated to healing intractable problems in our contemporary world by enabling people to think better about choices in the context of everyday life and living.
In 2005, the National Wellness Institute asked Christina to provide answers to 50 questions about health coaching from the perspective of an Intrinsic Coach® practicing the Intrinsic Coaching® methodology.
In 2006, while a board member of the International Consortium for Coaching in Organizations, Christina designed and built a software platform to support organizations in increasing best thinking to create a healthier, more effective workforce and a healthier, more productive organization.
Through Totally Coached, Inc., Christina trains people in Intrinsic Coaching® and also works with organizations to generate greater greater health, effectiveness, and productivity through increased intrinsic capacity. In a special way, Christina supports health and wellness professionals by keeping their fees for coach training affordable and offering CEUS.
Christina's mission is to create healthier lives, healthier organizations, and a healthier world and she plans to accomplish it with Intrinsic Coaching®, Intrinsic Coach® professionals, and organizations partnering with Totally Coached, Inc.
