How Presence, Poise + Practice Build Authentic Influence

Leadership isn’t just about what you know. It’s about how you show up when the pressure is on, how others experience you, and whether your habits reinforce the leader you want to be.

In this high-energy keynote, Chrissy breaks influence down into three practical behaviors: Presence, Poise and Practice. Through stories, audience interaction and simple leadership tools, attendees learn how to manage their energy, stay grounded under pressure and build trust through consistent, intentional action.

Audiences leave ready to:

• Understand how their presence impacts the room

• Respond with greater awareness instead of reacting on instinct

• Build influence through small, repeatable behaviors

Best for: Leadership conferences, sales meetings, executive teams and emerging leaders.

How Energy, Community + Execution Fuel Sustainable Success

Grit can get you a long way.

But grit without boundaries becomes burnout.
Grit without community becomes isolation.
And grit without execution stays potential.

In From Grit to Great, Chrissy challenges the idea that success is simply about working harder. Instead, she gives audiences a practical framework for protecting their energy, intentionally building the relationships around them and putting process behind the things they say matter most.

Built around Energy, Community + Execution, the keynote combines candid storytelling with immediately usable tools like the 3 Vs (Vote, Voice and Vet) Gratitude Time, controlling the controllables and strategic opportunity mapping.

Audiences leave ready to:

• Protect their energy without lowering their ambition

• Build a stronger, more intentional community around them

• Turn relationships into genuine connection, not transactional networking

• Create simple processes that turn intention into consistent action

• Plant seeds for future opportunities before they need them

Best for: Women’s leadership conferences, high-performing teams, sales organizations, emerging leaders and professionals navigating growth or transition.

Finding Your Identity, Relationships + Purpose When the Next Step Isn’t Obvious

We spend a lot of time trying to get certainty before we move: the right title, the right opportunity, the right answer, the right next step.

But clarity doesn’t always come from knowing exactly what happens next.

In this reflective and practical keynote, Chrissy introduces the Three Circles: Identity, Relationships and Purpose - a framework for separating who you are from the information surrounding you, becoming more intentional about who has influence in your life, and recognizing the gifts and strengths that point toward where you can create the greatest impact.

Through personal stories, reframes and guided reflection, audiences are challenged to stop chasing external definitions of success and start building from a clearer internal foundation.

Audiences leave ready to:

• Separate identity from titles, achievements and circumstances

• Evaluate the relationships shaping their decisions and direction

• Recognize how their natural gifts and learned skills can inform purpose

• Move forward with clarity even when certainty isn’t available

Best for: Emerging leaders, women’s leadership events, student-athletes, career transitions and organizations investing in talent development.

From control to clarity: making space to hear, discern and move.

We spend a lot of energy trying to “get it” - control the outcome, solve the problem, make the right call and quiet the uncertainty.

God It™ offers another way.

Through stories, practical tools and guided reflection, audiences recognize the thoughts and patterns creating unnecessary noise, regulate their response, and create the space required for greater clarity, curiosity and spiritual awareness.

Participants explore practical tools for self-regulation, discernment, personal development and intentional action; learning how to quiet what is competing for their attention so they can better recognize what is guiding them.

Audiences leave with tools to:

• Recognize and reframe thought patterns that drive unnecessary stress or reaction

• Practice self-regulation and create space before responding

• Strengthen personal and spiritual awareness

• Approach uncertainty with curiosity instead of control

• Move from discernment into intentional action
