In this episode of Connekt Unplugged, hosts Conor and Kallum sit down with powerhouse duo Chrissy Stobbs and Alexandra Baker—co-founders of Collective Coaching Academy.

Born from a shared vision during the chaos of COVID in 2020, Chrissy and Alex reveal how a global crisis sparked a mission: to build a heart-led, inclusive community of coaches and mentors around the world.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level. They dive deep into what makes their practitioner training unique—from flexible, family-first scheduling to a strong foundation in NLP and personal transformation. Chrissy and Alex open up about their own burnout journeys and the pivotal moments that brought them to coaching.

Together, they explore what it truly means to lead with authenticity, create sustainable success, and help others rise in the coaching space.

If you’re curious about innovative coaching models, building a values-driven business, or launching your career in personal development—this episode is a must-listen.
