Testimonials
"Christian moves people – purposefully, considerately, and powerfully. From developing engaging and relevant adult professional learning to analyzing school systems and creating and implementing action plans, to engaging in meaningful storytelling collaborations, having Christian as a partner has been transformational and joyful for our community.
He has left his mark on our school culture through his almost magical way of deeply collaborating and carefully listening, empowering educators and young people to own their impact and build momentum towards change that lasts and expands."
“From highlighting the work of nonprofit organizations to capturing stories within school communities, Christian brings a level of thoughtfulness that elevates every project.
What stands out most is his ability to connect with young people. He meets them where they are, earns their trust quickly, and creates an environment where they feel comfortable and engaged. That connection translates directly into more authentic, meaningful storytelling. I would highly recommend Christian to any organization looking for a partner who is not only talented, but deeply committed to the people and stories he works with.”
"Christian is a master facilitator who is capable of captivating audiences with a combination of candor, clarity, and compassion. He draws from his own inner work as the source of the work he seeks to guide others through. He is thoughtful and deeply intentional, helping groups move from ideas to action and toward outcomes rooted in expressed and contextual needs.
I recommend working with Christian to anyone looking for clear movement grounded in care, core values, and concrete results."
"Coming from where I come from, it can feel like people don’t really make it far. But Shaboo always pushed the idea that I can go as far as I believe and allow myself to go, and that helped to push me to grow and reach levels I didn’t think I could.
My experience with Shaboo is different from how I’ve seen him work with others because he really takes the time to get to know each person he’s working with. He meets you where you are in order to move forward and upward."
