The Exceutive Reset™
Dismantling default leadership behaviors.
Business systems for committed executives who are ready to scale because they have teams that speak their language and are all in on the vision.
We work with devoted, go-getter leaders who are fully invested in empowering their teams.
Are you or anyone you know ready to revel in your freedom with a team that completely supports you?
The Executive Reset™ is a 6-week intensive for leaders ready to dismantle default leadership behaviors! Enter your contact information and we'll send you the schedule.
Because the way you were taught to lead was built on someone else's urgency instead of your values.
THE EXECUTIVE RESET™
You didn't default.
You were trained to.
Most executive coaching treats the symptoms. We go back to the source. Your learning history, the environments you worked in, the systems that shaped you, those are what created the leadership patterns you're running on autopilot right now.
Societal programming, early career reinforcement, and organizational conditioning build default behaviors over time. These aren't character flaws. They're learned patterns. And what was learned can be examined, understood, and intentionally replaced with something that actually works for the leader you want to be.

The Care Cyle™ Framework
Connect
Relationships before revenue
We start by building the kind of trust that makes the work possible. You share what's actually happening inside your leadership, not the polished version. We look at your values, your mission, and where your leadership behaviors have drifted.
attune
Seeing the learning behind the behavior
We identify the triggers, patterns, and learning history that keeps default leadership behaviors locked in. You start to see your leadership environment as a system, not a series of isolated moments.
reflect
Honest reflection, not performance
We slow down and actually look at how you show up on a hard day. What your team learns from watching you under pressure. The patterns you fall into without realizing it. What changes when you are in the room and what happens when you are not.
empower
Leaders who build other leaders
The goal has never been dependency. The goal is that you leave this program with operationalized behaviors, a clear value-aligned leadership system, and the skill to transfer that empowerment to every person on your team. To turn doers into leaders.

— Christen Russell
Founder/CEO
Christen built Influent on one belief: that the way a business feels on the inside determines everything that happens on the outside.
She works with executives, entrepreneurs, and the teams behind them who are done overcomplicating, absorbing conflict, and are ready to build something that fits the team they are creating and the ideal life.
Her work is behavioral by design. The Executive Reset™, using Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi's CARE Cycle™ (Connect, Attune, Reflect, Empower) framework is used to empower leaders and teams to stop reacting and start leading from their shared mission. Real values. Community agreements built together.
Whether Christen is working with a founder who needs to reclaim her time and vision, or a team that has lost its shared language, she brings people back to the question that changes everything: what did we say we were here to do, and are we still doing that?
That reframe is where the work begins. And where real culture change becomes possible.
Christen encouraged both critical thinking and creativity, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. The skills and confidence I developed had a lasting impact. After completing the practicum, I went on to establish my own business as an LLC, applying the same foundational strategies and frameworks we practiced. Christen’s ability to make complex business concepts approachable and actionable was instrumental in turning instructional learning into professional achievement.
Working with Influent helped me clarify my ideal client and increase the number of coaching clients I have. My website interactions have more than doubled and my Q3 sales increased 77%!
I was juggling creating my continuing ed offerings and trying to grow my business without a clear plan. After working with Influent, I implemented Christen’s strategies and saw my sales increase by nearly 60%. Now, instead of feeling burnt out, I have clear monthly goals, consistent clients, and am projected to triple my sales in the last quarter of the year!
It's one thing to read the books and articles on marketing; it's another to have someone help you every step of the way. Dr. Christen Russell and The Digital Welcome Mat have helped take me from feeling scattered and directionless to becoming focused and deliberate in my approach. As someone who was new to digital marketing, I am very thankful to have had someone patient and knowledgeable to help me onto the right path and answer all of my questions (no matter how many times I repeated them). I can already see that the work I have done throughout the Digital Welcome Mat will continue to provide me with a template and resource as I continue to grow my business.
Christen helped me see where my online message was getting lost and guided me to express the why behind my work with clarity and confidence. She pointed out what to fix and helped me understand how every word and design choice could reflect my values and vision. Working with Christen was the best decision I could’ve made for my brand. She has a gift for turning your vision into words that resonate.
