Cris Rewrites

Conversations — Action — Rewrite

What would
you like to be
different?

Maybe you know exactly what you want to change. Maybe you only feel that something could be different. Cris Rewrites is where you find out what you'd like to be different, and when it's time, do something about it.

01What is Cris Rewrites

Sometimes you know what
you want to change.
Sometimes you don't yet.

Cris Rewrites is about finding new directions and taking the first steps. From what could be different, to what you want to change, to something you actually do.

A Rewrite is the moment when something that always went one way goes differently, this time.

I know what I want to change. I can't do it alone.

We talk, we prepare, you take action, and I'm beside you throughout. For the smaller, more frequent things, there's the Cris Rewrites community.

I don't know exactly what I want yet. But I want something different.

You can start with other people's stories, an evening around a table with new people, or a conversation where we work out together what could be different.

This time, differently

  • I don't want to go to that event.

    I went to the event, and I liked it.

  • I avoid conflict.

    I had the difficult conversation, and the relationship is better for it.

  • I keep saying I'll start the project.

    I finally started the project.

  • I'm afraid of speaking in front of people.

    I gave my first talk and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

021:1 Rewrites

What are you trying
to rewrite right now?

Some things can't be rewritten
sitting on a couch.

A Rewrite starts with wanting to change something for the better. Sometimes you already know what. Sometimes the conversation itself helps you work it out. Either way, it isn't about one more piece of advice. It's about someone being there when you go from intention to action.

What a Rewrite looks like

  1. 01Clarify

    If you know what you want to change, we pin down the details. If you don't yet, we look together for what could be different.

  2. 02Prepare

    We look at what usually happens, what gets in the way, and what a different version would look like. Then we make a concrete plan.

  3. 03Act

    You take the action. Where it makes sense, I can be beside you in the moment, in person or remotely.

  4. 04Debrief

    Afterwards we look together at what happened and what stays different from now on.

I don't do the difficult thing for you. That's the point: you do it, and you leave with a new experience of what you're capable of. A Rewrite isn't therapy and doesn't replace it, but it is support for a concrete action.

What a Rewrite can be

  • Go to an important event
  • Have a difficult conversation
  • Speak in public
  • Start the project you keep putting off
  • Start exercising
  • Walk into a situation you've been avoiding
  • Improve a relationship
  • Talk to your partner more openly
  • Finally say what you've been avoiding saying
  • Take the initiative in finding a partner
  • Feel you want something different, without knowing what yet

1:1 Rewrites are opening soon. Leave your email and I'll let you know when the first spots open.

03Cris Rewrites Community

A place where we make
progress together.

  1. 01Say what you'll do

    At the start, everyone names one concrete thing: “Today I'm doing X.”

  2. 02Do it

    A stretch of time when everyone works on what they set out to do, with the others around. We'll use a few simple techniques together to help everyone stay focused.

  3. 03Check out

    At the end, a check-out: did you manage to do what you set out to do? What worked, what didn't?

The Community is for the structure you need again and again: other people around you, a commitment said out loud, and simple techniques that help you get things done.

The Community is getting ready. If you'd like to know when the first sessions start, leave your email and I'll let you know.

I'm interested in the Community

05Events

People around
the same table.

I organize in-person events in bars, restaurants and other everyday places, where people meet, talk and play.

Sometimes there are a few dozen of us, but nearly everything that matters happens in small groups at the same table, with just enough structure to make starting a conversation easy.

One of them is Seara de Comunicare și Joacă, an evening of communication and play where we rediscover how to talk to each other more gently and enjoy life a little more. For now, these events take place in Romania and are run mostly in Romanian.

06Altă Viață

Altă Viață. A Cris Rewrites podcast.

In Romanian, “altă viață” is what people say when something changed and life is simply better now. The show is about exactly that: conversations with people who chose another path, changed something important, or simply live differently. Not to show you how to live, but so you can see what's possible, and what it takes. If you don't yet know what you'd like to be different, you can start here.

The first episodes are in the works.

07For companies

We can work
together inside your
organization too.

I also work with teams, organizations and communities, on stage, in workshops, or in learning environments built around concrete challenges.

01

Keynotes & conferences

Talks and conversations for conferences, internal events, communities and offsites.

02

Technical training & workshops

Technical workshops built on my software engineering background and adapted to the team's level, context and needs.

03

Communication, collaboration & leadership

Experiential workshops around communication, collaboration, leadership and the conversations that matter.

Have something in mind?

If you're organizing an event, looking for a trainer, or want to build a workshop around a specific challenge, tell me a little about the context and we'll see if working together makes sense.

Let's discuss it

08About Cris

I've rewritten more of myself
than I thought I could.

I'm Cris. I've made a lot of changes over the years, even when I thought they'd be impossible: my job, my field, my relationships, the way I communicate with others and with myself, the way I express my limits.

Every one of those changes took a very long time before I actually acted. That's why Cris Rewrites exists: to help you make good changes in your life, more easily and more quickly.

I'm not a therapist, and I won't tell you how to live. I'm beside you while you try something different.
