Transform Your Leadership Journey

Dr. Chrissy Lee Baune spent 25+ years leading digital transformation, brand loyalty, and organizational change at Fortune 500 companies like Best Buy, Target, Sleep Number, and Carlson Marketing. Her path wasn’t linear; she’s rebuilt herself through hard lessons that now fuel her work with others. Her lived experience informs her coaching: she helps leaders navigate transition with clarity and courage while aligning personal growth with organizational objectives. She creates space for leaders to reflect, recalibrate, and step into their next chapter with presence, intention, and people-centered impact.

Chrissy holds a doctorate in organization development and change management from the University of St. Thomas, with advanced certification in narrative coaching and ongoing pursuit of her ICF ACC credential. She blends strategy with soul—aligning organizational objectives with personal leadership goals so leaders don’t just step into bigger roles but grow into them with authenticity and confidence.

Her coaching creates space for leaders to navigate the messy middle of transition—the uncertainty, the identity shift, and the pressure to perform—while shaping a new narrative that feels grounded, powerful, and fully their own. Together, she guides leaders to lead with presence, purpose, and a renewed sense of self.

In addition to her coaching and consulting work, Chrissy teaches organization development, leadership, and digital marketing at The College of St. Scholastica, where she mentors the next generation of purpose-driven leaders ready to create meaningful impact.

Off the clock, Chrissy is mom to two remarkable humans, Alyssa and Niklas, who continue to teach her what it means to lead with heart.
