Our Approach

At System2Focus™, we combine deep expertise in strategy, learning design, behavior change, and emotional resilience to bring job seekers a process that is as thoughtful as it is practical.

Christine built the S2F framework to help people break free from burnout-inducing job search habits and apply strategic thinking to every stage of the process. Lee brings systems design and mindfulness practices that make complex ideas easier to absorb—and easier to stick with. Together, we’ve designed a method that doesn’t just help you land a job—it helps you become a more focused, confident version of yourself while doing it.

Follow the principles of the S2F approach to streamline your workflow, improve your confidence, and focus your attention on what’s most important.

Strategy & Marketing

Christine is the creator of the System2Focus framework and brings over 25 years of experience in strategy, marketing, and organizational leadership. Her background spans nonprofit and corporate sectors, with a focus on helping individuals and teams make better decisions, tell stronger stories, and navigate complex transitions with clarity.

Drawing from her MBA training, her work with executive teams, and her grounding in behavior change theory, Christine developed S2F to meet a growing need: job seekers who felt overwhelmed, reactive, and unsure of how to move forward. Her coaching style blends strategic structure with deep empathy, helping seekers cut through noise and take intentional, human-centered steps toward work that fits.

She holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson and a BA in Communications from Penn State.

Learning Design & Mindfulness

Lee is a learning experience designer, content strategist, and mindfulness teacher with 20 years of experience in technology, training, and digital transformation. At S2F, he brings a systems lens to every element of the process—whether he’s mapping the job search journey, simplifying complex tools, or helping seekers stay calm and focused under pressure.

Lee’s professional background includes developing large-scale learning programs at companies like Google, Apple, and YouTube. He’s known for designing scalable, effective education tools that make people feel both capable and cared for. He’s also a certified yoga instructor and mindfulness practitioner, and his coaching is grounded in the belief that clarity comes when we learn to slow down and listen.

Lee holds a Master’s in Instructional Design from San Francisco State University and serves on the board of Warriors at Ease, a nonprofit supporting veteran wellbeing through evidence-based mindfulness practices.

“I was really struggling on my own and felt a lot of pressure to find a job quickly. I was at first nervous about pausing applications and shifting into exploration mode... but by working the steps with Christine I not only learned what I wanted, I fired up my network. Once I submitted to the System2Focus approach the path opened in front of me and I soon landed a job that I love.”
