About Christine Noffz

I co-founded BenchStrength Coaching® because I\'ve seen firsthand what happens when organizations invest in developing their leaders, and what happens when they don\'t.After 20+ years leading operations at SESLOC Federal Credit Union I know that leadership isn\'t just a nice-to-have.

Great leaders retain talent, navigate change, and create cultures where people thrive.Today, as COO of BenchStrength Coaching, I partner with organizations from manufacturing, insurance, energy, and tech to build strong leadership pipelines through practical, coach-led development programs.
