“Christina shared her expertise on 5 Key Superpowers of Leadership, how it impacts a thriving culture and how the value of curiosity ties into it. Her talk was immensely useful and practical!
The tool she presented was a great take-away for 700+ attendees. She effectively presented the topic on point and with confidence! Thank you for being one of the speakers during SAP's Global Coaching Summit, Christina!”
“As a speaker, a leader, and a coach, Christina astounds. Her presentation in Prague was insightful, powerful, and energizing. Christina has an incredible ability to capture the audience, while providing high-quality value and challenging assumptions. Her presence is graceful, confident, curious, and engaging, all with a healthy amount of sass and humor.
She's a speaker, and a person, to remember. I'd highly, highly recommend Christina as a top-notch addition to any event, conference, or workshop.”
“We had the pleasure of having Christina speak at the Maine Women’s Network’s Boost Your Business Breakfast. Christina’s energy was fresh and contagious!
Her presentation was clear, concise and had many effective takeaways that the audience was eager to implement. Her presence was strong and confident but approachable; she had a knack for coaxing out audience engagement (which isn’t an easy task!).
Christina was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to seeing her speak again!”
Typically the two biggest differences are the size and the time duration. I love the intimate nature of workshops, and tend to design them for 10-15 participants at a time for the course of anywhere from 2-4 hours. Speaking engagements can include several hundred audience members and typically are 60-90 minute presentations. What I do try to have come through in both formats, however, is some level of interaction between myself and my audience.
Occasionally I do offer virtual workshops and webinars. If you want to make sure you catch the latest offerings, I recommend following my Facebook page or Instagram account, as I tend to make announcements there.
I love to travel! I have spoken all over North America, as well as parts of Europe. If you have somewhere in mind, please include the details when you reach out to me via my contact form.
It certainly can be. What I love about designing workshops is the process of curating the content based on the needs of the attendees. Before I let anyone hire me for an internal workshop, I like to see if we are a good fit for each other and create an outline on what I would deliver. So if you see a talk title or subject that intrigues you, reach out to me via my contact form with details on the ideas you have, and let’s see what we can create.
Probably! I actually prefer the intimacy of interview settings and the chance to just be in a great conversation with someone over something we are equally passionate about. My favorite podcasts to contribute to focus on topics such as women’s leadership, women’s empowerment, millennial leadership, coaching, or beer brewing.
Absolutely. I believe the common denominator between great leadership and great public speaking is Presence, which is a huge area of focus in my coaching. Please check out my 1:1 or group service page to learn more about the coaching process.
Honestly, my willingness to be on stage all stems from my mom convincing me at my first dance recital that I didn’t have the gene that inherited nervousness. I was 4. Since then, I have received a lot of facilitation and leadership training from Accomplishment Coaching over the years, and thoroughly enjoyed participating in Angela Lussier’s Speaking School.
In general, I am a huge nerd for any conversation that supports people in expanding their definition of leadership and developing their skills for coaching/leading/training emerging leaders. I also believe that humor is an effective tool in having meaningful conversations, so my talks tend to include woo woo moments, references to beer brewing, and the occasional geeking out over whatever book I am reading.
