175. Storytelling to rewrite beliefs and change behaviors, with Christina Blacken

Christina’s personal story is as powerful as her professional journey. She grew up as an outsider in Utah—one of the few Black, female, liberal individuals in a predominantly white, conservative, and Mormon environment. Experiencing firsthand how narratives about race, religion, and identity shape behavior and interactions, she realized how powerful stories can be in defining our sense of self and how we relate to others. This realization fueled her career.

As the founder of The New Quo, Christina helps leaders recognize the stories that influence their beliefs about power and leadership, so they can rewrite them in ways that foster deeper trust, belonging, and innovation. She’s trained over 14,000 leaders across nine industries, teaching them how to break through conventional leadership models and create equity-driven, status-quo-breaking organizations.

Christina brings a mix of personal and professional insights:

  • Her experience growing up as a racial and religious minority in Utah, and how it shaped her understanding of the stories we tell ourselves about power and self-worth
  • How narrative intelligence helps leaders identify and disrupt biases, improve communication, and create more inclusive and innovative environments
  • The transformative power of storytelling for behavioral change and social impact
