Corinne’s career began in the demanding world of international development, where she led major initiatives with USAID and the United Nations Foundation. In these high-pressure environments, she saw purpose-driven professionals – particularly women grappling with what she calls the “messy middle”: a space defined by constant change, high expectations, and the ever-present risk of burnout. While these leaders had the vision and expertise to drive meaningful change, many lacked the internal grounding needed to navigate their own growth and transitions with confidence.
That realization became the foundation of Hart & Co. Coaching. Shifting her focus from managing global programs to supporting the individuals behind them, Corinne built her practice around a simple but powerful belief: leadership is not just about what you achieve, it’s about the clarity, resilience, and steadiness you bring to the process. Since then, she has worked with more than 100 professionals, helping them move beyond overthinking and perfectionism to lead with authenticity and intention.
For many professionals in the Washington, D.C. region and beyond, today’s landscape particularly in public service and conservation, is evolving rapidly. Whether facing job uncertainty or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of the work, Corinne offers structured support to help individuals regain their footing.
Her Steady Ground program is designed as a reset for those feeling stretched thin. Over five weeks, Corinne partners with PhD scientist Heidi Schuttenberg to combine mindfulness science with practical coaching tools. Unlike traditional retreats, this experience is rooted in the realities of mission-driven work. Through in-person sessions held in natural settings like Meadowbrook and Kemp Mill Estates, participants learn to quiet mental noise, reconnect with themselves, and build sustainable daily practices that extend well beyond the program.
For those navigating more significant transitions such as career shifts or personal reinvention Corinne offers a deeper, three-month group experience called Rebuilding with Purpose. Designed for women in periods of change, this program addresses the habits that often keep people stuck: self-doubt, procrastination, and the tendency to prioritize others at the expense of their own goals.
Through guided reflection, structured coaching, and the support of a small, close-knit cohort, participants create a personalized roadmap for what comes next. The result is not just clarity, but the confidence to move forward with intention even in uncertain circumstances.
Recognizing that growth doesn’t stop when a program ends, Corinne also created an Alumni Community. This ongoing space allows participants to stay connected, maintain momentum, and continue developing alongside others who understand the journey. Through co-working sessions and meaningful discussions, it transforms what can feel like an isolating process into a shared experience.
At the heart of Corinne’s work is a commitment to ensuring that no one has to navigate the pressures of a purpose-driven career alone. With new Steady Ground sessions beginning this May and Rebuilding with Purpose cohorts launching this summer, there are opportunities for those ready to shift from reacting to intentionally shaping their next chapter.
Corinne also prioritizes accessibility, offering sliding-scale pricing and reduced rates for individuals impacted by recent federal changes. Her goal is to remove financial barriers so more people can access the clarity and support they need.
If you’re ready to reclaim your time, rebuild your confidence, and move forward with purpose, Corinne offers both the guidance and the lived experience to help you get there.
