Starting Over Doesn’t Mean Starting From Scratch.
You’re starting with experience.
HR Leader • Author • Entrepreneur • Reinvention Advocate
After more than two decades in HR leadership, Christie Francis knows what it means when the plan changes. Today, she’s navigating her own next chapter while helping women 40+ recognize the experience, resilience, and possibility they already carry into theirs.
The plan changed. The experience didn’t disappear.
A changed career, unexpected setback, or new season doesn’t erase what took years to build. The leadership. The lessons. The resilience. The wisdom. It all comes with you.
Christie’s work is rooted in a simple belief: starting over doesn’t mean returning to zero. It means deciding what to do next with everything you’ve already learned.
A career built in steel-toe shoes. A woman still willing to dream in stilettos.
For more than 20 years, Christie Francis built her career in human resources and leadership, helping organizations and people navigate change. Then life required her to navigate a major transition of her own.
That experience became part of a much bigger story — one about faith, resilience, identity, entrepreneurship and having the courage to ask, “What’s next?”
Today, Christie is an author, entrepreneur and creator building her next chapter while encouraging other women to believe theirs isn’t finished either.
Steel-toe shoes built the career. The dream never left.
