"Christy is a fantastic trainer and coach. She has that very special quality of conveying information in a fun and practical way. Her skills in helping others reach their maximum potential is top-rate."

Sue Gaulke, CEO, Successworks

"I hired Christy to help me with two speeches. I am amazed at her ability to digest a wide range of content and then ask penetrating questions that enabled me to get to the core message of my talk. Christy is insightful, personable, and she helped me deliver winning speeches to my audience. Even though her consultation increased my speech writing skills, I would hire her again to offer feedback on the organization and flow of my content. I am an Empowered Speaker because of Christy."

Diane Jordan-Grizzard
