The Founder, Christine DiDonato unknowingly started her career in training and development by missing the deadline to apply for a paid internship in graduate school. A guidance counselor informed her that an internship was required to earn her degree and the only ones available didn’t pay a dime. Executive Counterparts, a consulting company in San Francisco, welcomed Christine with little supervision and a large workload. Four months into the internship and while reporting to its founder and CEO Michelle Burke, Christine began designing and eventually facilitating training for large organizations such as Ernst and Young, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Microsoft. Michelle, who has remained Christine’s mentor for the past eight years, passed on foundational business and training knowledge. The most valued lesson was the connection between personal beliefs, actions and related outcomes.

Over the next eight years, Christine put her mentor’s lessons to the test and found herself moving into the corporate arena as Training Specialist for Household Finance. While in her early twenties, Christine made many mistakes common to her generation; having high expectations based solely on academic achievements. Frustrated with her position, Christine started documenting her beliefs, identified her actions at work and analyzed her outcomes. She found many of her beliefs were generational and similar to others in her peer group. Most importantly, she was not getting her desired results. By identifying generational mindsets she consciously changed her beliefs and therefore changed her results and outcomes. Her promotion to Training Manager and significant salary increase after only one year on the job made her a believer in her own methodology and a leader among other young professionals in the organization.

To her surprise, Christine developed a reputation as a guru of motivating and coaching young professionals to become the next generation of leaders in an organization. Thornton Financial Services, Inc recruited Christine as their Vice President of Training and Development tasked with growing a young call center in the United States before expanding internationally. Her current role, Director of Training and Development at Five Point Capital, has challenged her with developing the next generation of leadership within an organization where more than 70% of its’ population are young professionals and profits are expected to double annually.

Christine DiDonato holds a Master of Arts in Speech and Communication from San Francisco State University and founded the Revolution of Me organization with over ten years of training and development experience focused on coaching young professionals. She is also a member of the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) and the National Speaker’s Association (NSA). In her spare time, Christine enjoys trying new restaurants, cooking, and traveling.
