Build your authentic influence.

Unlock your career growth.

Unlock how your team performs.

Trusted by women working at leading companies
including AWS, GoCardless, Arup and Halma.

I believe that in every workplace, great ideas stay hidden.


Not because no one had them.

But because of how people shared them.

Because they didn’t understand the unwritten rules of influence.

Once you understand these rules, everything shifts…

You stop feeling frustrated and overlooked.

You start believing in yourself and showing your value.

You get opportunities to progress and make an impact.

Because here is what I have discovered through my journey into Senior leadership:

Your influence is already there. 
You just need the keys to access it.

Nice to meet you! 


Christina Brugger is a Chartered Engineer, former VP, and confidence & communication expert who helps women in STEM unlock their authentic influence without changing who they are.

After years of feeling overlooked in male-dominated environments, Christina discovered the unwritten rules of workplace influence - and realised she'd been underestimating her own power all along.

Now she gives women in tech and engineering the keys to communicate with authority to advance their careers, and helps organisations unlock their team's full potential.

Known for her practical, science-backed approach, Christina has guided 200+ women to find their voice and make the impact they deserve.

What our students are saying...

Alena Schmickl,
Senior Solutions Architect at AWS

"I was confident in my technical skills but struggled to speak up in meetings. The programme helped me realise the stories I was telling myself were holding me back - and gave me the tools to change them."

Andrea Stefkova,
Head of Product at HWM

"The programme helped me recognise that there was nothing wrong with me - there were just unwritten rules I needed to learn. Now I have a toolkit of actionable approaches I use every day, and I see my true value."

Melanie Kilkie,
Global Payment Partnerships Lead at GoCardless

"Without sounding too cringe, it's been life-changing. It's definitely made a massive difference. My mindset's changed toward difficult conversations I wouldn't have previously approached.”
