Why We Need Your Voice Today

HIDE IN THE SAND – OR SPEAK UP AND CHANGE THE WORLD?

The world has taken an awkward turn since 2020. All the attitudes and behaviors we thought were history are being revived and legitimized by a handful of immoral individuals greedy for limitless power and plunder. 

Moreover, deceptive AI is flooding our communication channels with dry, fake messages. As some people bet on speed, it’s time you bet on connection, reliability, and long-term trustworthiness. 

In this world, we need more good leaders to speak up. And for that, you need a sharp communication edge. 

Take the reins of your personal communications firmly into your hands. Master in-person, virtual, and hybrid communications, leverage storytelling, and build your social media presence with major impact, truthfulness, and grace. Give your public profile a solid boost and make people say: I see you everywhere! in only 6 months. 

You communicate. I hold your back so you can shine on any stage.

Is the Edge® the Right Program For You Right Now?

GIVE YOURSELF A QUICK PERSONAL POWER CHECK

AI has brought an unprecedented level of urgency into our lives. With a massive volume of people able to access it and use it for good or nefarious purposes, we can expect competition to increase in every field. 

Are you a senior woman leader who wants to future-proof her career and life by making sure her personal communication is exceptional? If yes, seek no more. 

The Edge® is ideal for:

  1. Women CEOs: You carry the responsibility of your entire company’s visibility on your shoulders. I help you become ready for any type of encounter, including your board, shareholders, investors, media, and nasty political representatives. 
  2. Women in the C-Suite: Your powerful communication is your edge and your ticket to your next career move. Make sure you sharpen your edge while you’re still sitting comfortably in your C-Suite chair. 
  3. Women in C-1: You coordinate complex departments and projects. Everyone looks up to you for clarity and direction – even when you don’t have it. Use strategic personal communications to boost trust with your leaders, team, and business partners and leverage it for your bold career move.    
  4. Women entrepreneurs, founders & CEOs: Let’s be real. That’s what we, women entrepreneurs, do all day, every day – we communicate. If we want to give this thing we’re building a fighting chance, we must be visible. But are we doing it as well as we could? That’s a different story. 
Would you like to communicate better so you can open any doors for you, your people, and your business in the future?

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

This program is for women leaders who:

  • Take active charge of their work, communications, career, and life—and don’t apologize for it.
  • Refuse to wait quietly for “their turn”—they speak up, ask, and go after what they deserve.
  • Want to future-proof their careers and lives, not gamble them on chance.
  • Know deep down they’re meant for more than what they’re doing today.
  • Are ready to invest in themselves—their own money, their own time and commitment, their own future.
  • Think strategically, play the long game, and want to rise to the very top.

This program is NOT for women who:

  • Are content to coast and call it a career.
  • Sit back, wait to be “taken care of,” and hope someone else will change their life for them.
  • Won’t invest a cent in themselves but expect their company to swoop in—until the pink slip arrives.
  • Stay buried in busywork and pray their “hard work” will magically lead to visibility, a raise, or a promotion.
  • Can’t think beyond next week, avoid strategy, and shrink from making big moves.

What’s Holding Senior Women Leaders Back?

The Real Challenge

Since May 2010, when I started working with women leaders to build their visibility, personal brands, and career tracks, I noticed several disconcerting patterns that hold senior women leaders back.

  1. They do exceptional work, but they forget to talk about it. In fact, they expect that somehow, someone will notice their good work automatically and this will bring them their next well-deserved raise and their next promotion.  
  2. They are extremely hands-on, deriving a personal sense of satisfaction and psychological safety from operations rather than from high-level strategic thinking. This mindset can backfire, as operational excellence tends to attract more operational work and glue women to the roles they hold today.
  3. They make little to no time to build their personal brands and top leadership/CEO narratives inside their companies and outside on the free market. 
  4. They shy away from reaching out to key stakeholders and invite them to become their allies, mentors, and coaches. 
  5. They fail to develop strong networks and alliances inside and outside their organizations, then they are surprised that their impact is limited and their initiatives fail to gain momentum. 

They build healthy relationships, but fail to leverage them when they need support for themselves.

In other words, women – even senior women leaders – keep putting everyone’s needs and expectations ahead of their own. Then, they are surprised when life is not yielding according to their own expectations and they become deeply unhappy or – worse – physically sick.  

Above all, women leaders work almost exclusively IN THEIR ROLE, and almost not at all ON THEIR ROLE in order to advance their careers and lives in the direction of THEIR OWN CHOICE. 

This is exactly the mindset The Elevator® is here to change – with a plan. 

The Elevator® is a six-month career accelerator – a high-level individual executive development program that was crafted for senior women leaders active in corporate organizations in Europe. The program draws on my 15+ years of experience serving over 20,000 senior women leaders individually and in group settings. The Elevator® uses advanced executive coaching and mentoring techniques, impactful individual training, and rich executive support to help you craft a strategic plan to advance your career and take your work, leadership, and life to the next level – all this within the next 12 months.

Is this you?

  1. Even though you’ve grown into top leadership, you still question whether you belong there or whether you are good enough. 
  2. You are the first to volunteer and take on more work, ignoring that operations are already burying your potential. 
  3. You feel like you never have time to prepare for a speaking opportunity, so you refuse to go for it – or you don’t show up. 
  4. Your personal photo portfolio is outdated – and you don’t want AI to turn you into someone you are not. So you stay stuck. 
  5. You are afraid that, if you do go on stage, you will say something wrong and people will judge you for it. Or post hateful comments about you on LinkedIn. 
  6. You judge people who boast on LinkedIn, but you don’t know how to communicate better, even though you know you should be more visible on social media. 
  7. You have so much to say – you just never know where to start. 

Is this you? Then we definitely need to talk.

I have made it my life’s mission to help good women communicate better.  

Strategic, mindful communications pulled me out of poverty and into leading a global executive people development business. I work daily with CEOs and senior executives responsible for billions in budgets and thousands of lives on their payroll. I know why – and how – communications can truly change lives. 

The Edge® is a six-month strategic communications accelerator – an intense executive development program dedicated to helping you craft a powerful personal communications strategy and upgrade your strategic skills such as public speaking, storytelling, interview mastery, crisis communications, and social media so you can bring your strategy to life. 

Give me 6 months and I will give you a new you – clear, visible, self-confident, and ready for what’s next. 

The Edge® draws on my 15+ years of professional experience serving over 20,000 senior women leaders individually and in group settings. The Edge® uses advanced executive coaching and mentoring techniques, impactful individual training, and rich executive support to help you craft a strategic plan to take your personal communications to the next level – all this within the next 6 to 12 months.

  • If you are looking for a mentor/coach to guide you through the journey of finding your true vision and navigate smartly in this complex world, Cristina is definitely the right choice. Cristina is a natural coach and facilitator. She is patient, intuitive, and wise beyond her years. And she has a masterful knack for knowing when to invoke these various skills to bring out a clarity of purpose and desire that is often hard to pinpoint on your own. She has a way of repackaging your own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that adds meaningful direction. I’m very grateful to have worked with her during a challenging period professionally throughout 2019 and the result is remarkable. Thank you Cristina for joining me into my “big leap”!

    Ling Hong

    Executive Director, Goldman Sachs Asset and Wealth Management Netherlands

  • I started working with Cristina in a period of multiple changes in my work and private life. I needed to identify my values and key priorities. With Cristina I was visiting different areas of my work and private life step by step. During our sessions we discussed topics ranging from business, philanthropy, and my personal life. I was able to name and describe the challenges and consequently decide for my concrete steps and actions. Cristina is able to help with a wide scope of questions starting with personal daily routines to hiring strategies, PR and communication, target setting, embracing diversity etc. With her great questions she helped me find my own answers. Cristina is more than a coach; she is a psychologist, a communication specialist, a lifestyle advisor, and a friend.

    Kateřina Zapletalová

    Board Member, MOSER a.s. Czech Republic

  • Cristina had a great impact on my communication style and my emotional intelligence during an important development time in my life. She helped me get to the next, higher level in my professional and personal life. She was extremely patient and flexible while serving my needs. Cristina opened my “analytical mind” and broadened my perspective to include the importance of seeking to understand. Cristina can point very sensitively to all the aspects that need improvement or focus in your communications and she can fully respect your personal needs at the same time. Emotional intelligence and psychology is a very abstract science to me, yet Cristina managed to change my perspective on the importance of improving these skills.

    Miroslava Stodolicová

    Director Future Finance Fit, AbbVie Global

  • It takes a rare gift, outstanding knowledge of the media world, and the skill of a coach to teach a person to craft a message both interesting to journalists and memorable to the reader. Cristina Muntean does an outstanding job of teaching you to be a media-savvy CEO while still being yourself.

    Ivana Goossen

    Ex-CEO, University of Pittsburgh - Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business Europe

  • Just have to rave about The Elevator coaching program with Cristina! The way it started was a pure accident (read: luck)☺️ As part of an Accelerator that I joined the Vornica – The CEO Elevation Circle community and thanks to my active participation I won an exclusive 6 week coaching program with her. And I’m really glad I did it, because least to say, it came at the right moment😉

    The established safety made me feel I can talk about anything, without judgement. The best part – Cristina is this amazing mix of being totally honest, pushing you to think outside the box, asking all the right questions (to many I had no freaking clue!) and giving exact, practical tips (differentiating her from others, really☝️). Plus, she is fantastic listener. She helped me improve my “growth mindset” (which in other way just means, feeling pumped to tackle anything).

    My favorite quotes I took from it:

    • “Realize your own size in the system…”
    • “Nurture your energy and direct it where it serves.”
    • “Be patient, this is part of their development, not yours…”

    I can only but recommend this program, even if you think you’ve got it!😎 Thank you, Cristina🌸

    Emel Idriz

    Business Strategy and Operations, PriceFX Czech Republic

  • Cristina has the talent to tune in to a specific group or individual and to design a program according to very specific needs. She creates relationships based on trust that are a good basis for the development of individuals or groups. Her language skills and multicultural experience are also an added value. Cooperation with Cristina is very rewarding and at the same time very pleasant. Cristina will not push anyone to achieve their goal; everyone must find the will to develop within themselves. Yet she will gently accompany and support you in this whole process.

    Ivana Martiňaková

    CEO, dm-drogerie markt Romania

  • Cristina demonstrated a wide experience leading communications during our common projects. She supported the generation of creative ideas and concepts that contributed to our success. Cristina also managed and maximized the company’s social media presence by facilitating interviews and providing regularly published content on select media outlets. Above all, it was a pleasure working with her.

  7. 7.You experience a renewed sense of purpose.

  10. 10.Your LinkedIn posts and comments are chockfull of keywords that attract the right kind of attention to your profile.
  11. 11.You are ready for any high-level communication opportunity – from keynotes to tough interviews and crisis communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions I receive regularly from potential clients. Take a look, clarify your next steps, and let’s talk. 

Take The Edge® 5-Minute Readiness Check
  • When can I join The Edge® ?

    The Edge® is a tailor-made individual executive coaching and mentoring program that you can join anytime you choose. However, I highly recommend enrolling by July 1, or by January 1 so you can receive the best targeted support and be ready for the key moments when companies make most hiring, promotion, and strategic communication decisions.

  • How much exactly does the program cost?

    The Edge® is priced to reflect Cristina’s 15+ years of experience supporting senior women leaders to grow in their careers, the level of seniority of our clients, and the expected return on investment following your increased visibility and higher career promotability.

    The price starts at 10,000 EUR for the most fundamental basic version of the program and it can grow beyond 50,000 EUR when you choose to add extra services such as 360° assessment, emotional intelligence profiling, extra sessions, and more.

    You will receive your detailed price, ROI, and payment options during the direct proposal presentation call with Cristina so you can make an informed decision.

  • Can my company sponsor my development?

    Absolutely – in fact, over 90% of my clients are company-sponsored. Feel free to take this page to your leader and HR business partner and clarify their potential to invest in your career acceleration before the end of this year.
    NOTE: If you need a letter of recommendation or program brochure for your boss / HR, please send me an email at cristina.muntean@vornica.com and I will gladly create it for you.

  • How exactly does the program unfold once I have joined?

    After our 30-minute onboarding call we will schedule your strategy call. After this session you receive your tailor-made development plan that you need to approve. Once we have it, we can schedule your 1-1 calls that will take place 2x-3x / month. After using your 12 sessions we will wrap up the program with a next steps call preparing you for your “life in the wild” after our program.

  • How much time do I need to allocate to the program per week / per month?

    During the first month, expect to spend a minimum of 3.5 hours on onboarding, the strategy session, and the first executive development session. Afterwards, our direct interactions will be limited to 2–3 hours / month depending on your degree of intensity and specific needs.

    On top of this, a minimum of 1.5 hours / month is recommended for you to engage in self-reflection, homework, and concrete action taking that will advance your communications. There is no upper limit to the time you choose to invest in your self-reflection and follow-up exercises: in general, the more time you invest in yourself, the faster you reach your objectives.

  • Will I interact with my peers as well during the program?

    The Edge® is a top-of-the-shelf individual career acceleration and executive development program. Therefore, for the majority of time during the program you will interact exclusively with Cristina, your coach. However, you will also receive invitations to VIP events and Q&As for the Edge® clients and alumnae. During these encounters you will have a chance to interact with your peers and leverage the power of community for your utmost benefit.

  • Is the program online or in-person?

    The Edge® takes place exclusively online. This way we can record our sessions, take AI-generated notes, and derive a maximum of value from our work together. Equally, this is how Cristina can serve a variety of clients from all over the world. Our sessions take place exclusively on Zoom, so you will need to have this app installed on your device (ideally a personal notebook).

    NOTE: We will not use Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or a different online meeting platform during our work together because the program settings are closely knitted into using Zoom as the core program app. Please bear this in mind when joining our live online sessions.

  • What happens if I can’t make a session?

    During the program you can postpone up to 4 times without repercussions. Postponements must be made a minimum of 72 hours prior to the session taking place; in the opposite case, the session is considered used and is written off.

    Equally, if you need to postpone more than 4 times, further requests for postponement will be considered written off sessions that will be deducted from your overall plan. This is why we recommend you to prioritize this program and to schedule our sessions during a time when you can expect least interruptions.

  • Does the program guarantee that I will communicate better or get a new job?

    No. Sharpening your communication edge takes time, skill, and mastery. What I can guarantee is that you will receive all the support you can take in so you can act decisively, test various communication opportunities, and reflect on how to become better. Your improvement will come in small increments throughout your whole life – and this program will set you up for success.
