Christine Shimoda is the Director, Training + Development at Southren Group, and is responsible for overseeing the creation of coaching and training programs that support our clients through their development journey. She is passionate about identifying opportunities, addressing challenges and assisting our clients in making strategic choices that move them forward toward their goals.

​

Christine is a process junkie and lifelong learner who brings to her role a commitment to developing and offering the very best tools, methodologies and resources available to accompany and support the programs she creates. In addition to their creation, Christine also facilitates many of the company’s group training sessions and workshops, and our clients benefit from her measured approach to thinking through and solving problems. 

​

A skilled researcher and facilitator by training, Christine has devoted much of her career to all aspects of the research spectrum — as a consumer, provider and consultant — interpreting and applying insights to the decision making process. Her unique perspective allows her to really dig into how insights, and the information garnered from them, facilitate behaviour change. 

​

Though trained and skilled at using research, facts and data in decision making, Christine is also an intuitive thinker who is able to get herself and others out of the way to reach the place of authenticity, value and gut-feel when it matters most. 

​

When she’s not creating ground-breaking programs, Christine can most often be found playing, watching or cheerleading some kind of sporting event. She is a longtime ultimate frisbee player, a hockey/baseball/ultimate mom, and is looking forward to her pickleball years.
