Less Sitting. More Doing.
Interactive workshops that help leaders turn insight into action—using real situations, practical tools and conversations that actually matter.
Available as standalone experiences or paired with a keynote to take the work deeper.
Real growth happens in the room.
These aren't presentations disguised as workshops. Your team won't spend two hours listening to me talk about leadership while quietly checking email under the table.
We work.
Participants reflect, discuss, challenge assumptions, practice new approaches and apply the tools to situations they're actually navigating.
The goal isn't more information. It's different behavior.
We don't need more information... We need more application.

Owning the Room Without Over-Performing
Influence isn’t about having all the answers, being the loudest voice, or proving you belong. It starts with understanding the story you’re telling yourself… and learning how to shift your attention from performance to connection.
In this interactive workshop, participants explore how internal narratives shape confidence, communication and presence. Through practical exercises in curiosity, empathy and energy awareness, they’ll learn how to quiet the pressure to perform and create greater influence by making the people around them feel seen, heard and understood.
Participants leave ready to:
Recognize the internal stories affecting how they show up
Use curiosity to build trust and confidence in real time
Better understand the perspectives and needs of others
Create influence through connection rather than performance
Best for: Women’s leadership • Emerging leaders • High-potential talent • Client-facing professionals

DescrBuilding a Career Strategy Around Your Strengths, Relationships + Opportunities
When the next career move isn’t obvious, it’s easy to start chasing everything or waiting for someone else to tell you what comes next. Neither is much of a strategy.
This hands-on workshop helps participants identify where they create their greatest value, strengthen the relationships that can help them grow, and intentionally map opportunities beyond the role directly in front of them.
Using Chrissy’s Zone of Genius, 3 Vs and opportunity-mapping frameworks, participants build a practical roadmap rooted in their strengths, relationships and possibilities… not somebody else’s version of what their career should look like.
Participants leave with:
Greater clarity around their strengths and Zone of Genius
A more intentional approach to building meaningful professional relationships
A map of opportunities across their organization, industry and broader network
Concrete next steps for creating opportunity instead of waiting for it
Best for: Emerging leaders • Women’s leadership • High-potential programs • Professional associations • Career developmentiption text goes here

Better Communication Starts Before You Open Your Mouth
Most communication problems aren’t really communication problems. They’re awareness problems.
We react before we understand. We make assumptions. We focus on what we want to say instead of what the other person may actually be experiencing.
In this highly interactive workshop, participants learn how to slow down the story in their head, get curious about what may be happening for someone else, and respond with greater intention. Using Chrissy’s practical tools for empathy mapping, layered questions, reframing and energy awareness, teams work through real situations they face every day.
Participants leave ready to:
Recognize the assumptions influencing their reactions
Ask better questions before jumping to conclusions
Understand different perspectives without abandoning their own
Navigate tension and difficult conversations with greater clarity
Communicate in ways that build trust instead of unnecessary friction
Best for: Managers • Leadership teams • Sales and client-facing teams • Cross-functional teams • Organizations navigating growth or change

“I had the pleasure of bringing Chrissy in to work with my team during a pivotal moment - we were facing a major organizational shift, and I wanted them equipped with the tools to navigate it before it hit. I asked Chrissy to help my team build resilience and coping skills for change, without being able to share the specifics of what was ahead.
She delivered exactly what we needed. Her session was engaging, practical, and gave my team real, usable tools - not just theory. When the shift happened shortly after, the impact was immediate: nearly every person on my team reached out afterward to thank me for the session, specifically because they were leaning on the tools Chrissy had given them to manage the change.
The results speak for themselves: zero turnover during a genuinely difficult transition, a team that stayed engaged and supported each other, and skills my people will carry with them for the rest of their careers. Chrissy has a rare ability to prepare people for uncertainty in a way that actually sticks. I can’t recommend her highly enough for any team facing change.”
