Hey there! Meet Cristin Downs. Fierce, funny, and fired up, Cristin is a possibilitarian. Also an executive coach, a theatrical thinker, a producer, and a lot of formers — stage manager, production manager, operations manager, general manager, director, continuing/adult/corporate education professional (a multi-career pivoter)— who has worked more than 40+ jobs and led more teams in 2 decades than most people will in their entire lives. Cristin is the founder of Work & Worth where she helps compassionate leaders get a seat at the table or build their own. A tireless advocate for work separated from our inherent worth and identity, Cristin specializes in voice, values, vision, and visibility. She believes that we are each worthy, just as we are, and we get free together.
