Pivot with Purpose
For mission-driven professionals who are ready to stop surviving their work
and start building something intentional, sustainable, and authentically theirs.
Mindset Work + Business Planning = A Life of Intention
Most mission-driven professionals do not leave the work they love because they stop caring. They leave because the systems around them stopped working for a high performer.
Pivot with Purpose is a coaching program for self-motivated educators, nonprofit professionals, healthcare workers, and mission-driven leaders who are ready to stop running on empty and start building a next chapter that actually fits. Whether you are leaving a role, launching something new, or drawing new boundaries around your energy - let's build what comes next.
This program brings values-based coaching that balances mindset work with practical business planning. The result is a path forward that is intentional, actionable, and authentically yours.

- 2 strategic working sessions, 90 minutes each

Together we'll clarify what's actually in your way right now and build a concrete plan to move through it, fast.
What people are saying
Cris helped me reflect on my values and get clear on what I was truly looking for. Together, we created a longer-term plan for something more professionally sustainable and fulfilling. I now work with financial and schedule flexibility - exactly what I needed.

Every step felt collaborative, empowering, and tailored to me. I finally felt in control of my direction - not just reacting to what came next.
— Dani Ironmonger
I was ready for a change but struggling to decide my next career move. Cris helped me reflect, sharpen my approach, and build a plan with confidence. I now have a job at a company I am really excited about - and tools I will use for the rest of my career.

About Your Coach
Hi, I'm Cris Santoro. I know what it feels like to have all the right boxes checked and still feel completely stuck.
In 2017, after 12 years in corporate life, I quit with no backup plan and no roadmap. What followed was a series of intentional experiments -- walking the Camino de Santiago, buying a one-way ticket to Vietnam a week before my flight, launching schools from scratch in countries where I barely spoke the language, and building a consulting practice that now supports educators and mission-driven leaders around the world. I learned to set new boundaries and then actually hold them. None of it was planned. All of it brought me closer to a life that feels authentically mine.
With 20+ years across education, corporate, and nonprofit sectors, I bring practical tools and deep listening to every session. I have coached educators, nonprofit leaders, and mission-driven professionals through career pivots, business launches, and the messy middle of figuring out what comes next.
You already know something needs to change. I am here to help you get clear on what that is, build the courage and a toolbox to go after it, and make sure you do not lose yourself in the process.
