Founder | The Changemaker | Trauma Healer | Culture Shaper | The Heart Of The Practice

She knows that if organizations are taught what their part is in creating space for people like her, both sides win.

And that became her calling: to translate culture, bridge generational gaps, and address how trauma from the past and from migration affects business and workplaces, so people can grow together and contribute to the company's success.

Cristina is a trauma coach and culture strategist who has built her practice on a conviction that most of the corporate world is still afraid to say out loud: organizations carry trauma. Teams carry hurt. Leaders carry wounds they never had space to process. And until those things are named and healed, no amount of strategy, structure, or culture initiative will make the difference it promises to make.
She brings trauma coaching into business, not as a soft peripheral offering, but as a foundational one. Because if we want better organizations, we have to be willing to look at what is actually happening inside them. The power dynamics that masquerade as 'culture'. The unspoken hierarchies that make some people feel permanently less-than. The past hurts that replay in every performance review, every conflict, every moment when someone decides it is safer to stay quiet.

Cristina's focus is particularly fierce when it comes to cultural identity in the workplace. She works with Eastern Europeans in Western Europe, a community she knows intimately, who bring extraordinary competence and resilience to the organizations they join, and who are too often asked to shrink their identity in order to fit in.

Her work says: no. Your culture is not a liability. It is a strength that the people around you may not yet know how to see. And it is our job - as consultants, as leaders, as colleagues - to build workplaces that can hold the full range of who people are.

As a founder of Centered People, Cristina is the heart. She brings the depth, the empathy, and the courage to go to the places in an organization where other consultants don't look. She holds space for emotions and for what is difficult to address. She names what is true and helps leaders and teams move from the reactive, fear-driven reactions that drain organizations to the collaborative, compassionate ones that allow real performance and sustainable growth.

Her dream is specific and bold: To change the world by healing one company at a time!

Organizations where people operate from a genuine sense of safety, respect, and shared purpose. Environments that don't just tolerate diversity, but are genuinely made better by it.

Co-Founder | The Connector | Network Builder | Alliance Maker | Bridge Between Worlds

His path took him through pastorships spanning multiple cultures and countries, through business ventures launched in new cities, through communities of people who were trying to find their footing in environments that didn't always make room for them. What he brought to every one of those spaces was the same: the ability to see people clearly, to understand where they come from, and to help them find where they belong.

That gift is not accidental. It is forged from lived experience. Rashied knows what it means to navigate cultural complexity, to be the one in the room whose background isn't reflected in the walls, the language, or the unspoken rules. And because he knows it, he has made it his work to change it.

At Centered People, Rashied expands reach, builds alliances, and opens doors that other people don't even know exist. His network is a living ecosystem of relationships built on genuine trust and mutual respect. When Rashied makes an introduction, both sides feel it.
His coaching and leadership work is rooted in a single conviction: true growth happens when people are seen for who they are, not just what they produce. He works with individuals and teams to find clarity, confidence, and a genuine sense of belonging, especially in environments where those things don't come easy.

There is a warmth to the way Rashied works that disarms people. He brings ease to complex conversations, joy to difficult moments, and meaning to what can feel like ordinary work. Leaders who work with him often say the same thing: he has a way of making you feel that your growth matters to him personally. Because it does.
He is not interested in growth for growth's sake. He is interested in growth that builds lives, organizations where people don't just perform, but belong. Businesses that create impact in the communities they touch. Leaders who understand that how they lead is inseparable from who they are.
