One Hat At A Time momentum cards and Energizing Groups with Hats leader guide were developed by Christie Latona and Laura Lind-Blum
About Christie
Christie Latona is the secret weapon of boards of directors, planning groups, managers and professionals who want an edge. Christie’s affinity for drawing on the wisdom of a variety of viewpoints was already evident when she was an undergraduate at Swarthmore College where she majored in Psychology and had double minors in Music and Philosophy. Since then she’s excelled in a variety of roles: executive coach, entrepreneur, mother of three children, program coordinator, musician, corporate facilitator, and consultant. Whichever hat she is wearing, strengths-based growth is at the core of Christie’s work.
About Laura

Laura works mainly with solo professionals, quirky managers, and creative individuals. She describes her clients as intelligent, curious, intuitive, playful, inventive and willing to experiment. A graduate of Coach U, Laura has a master’s degree in Career and Human Resource Development, and a bachelor’s degree in Social Welfare.
