Speaking
Christin starts conversations
women aren't having out loud.
There’s a moment in every talk where someone in the audience stops pretending she’s fine. That’s the moment Christin works toward.
What it's like to be in the room
She speaks to accomplished women — and the originations that employ them — about what happens when success stops feeling like enough. Not as a cautionary tale. Not as a motivational sprint. As an honest conversation about what it actually takes to build a life you recognize as your own.
The room always gets quiet. Then it gets real.
Christin brings 23 years of corporate experience, three layoffs, and a well-documented inability to stay quiet when something important needs to be said. She doesn’t perform vulnerability — she’s lived it. Audiences feel the difference.
How it works
Three ways to work together.
Keynote
A single talk that reframes the question your audience has been carrying but not saying. Built for impact, not information delivery.
45 - 90 minutes
Workshop
Facilitated working sessions that move beyond awareness into action. Participants leave with more than insight — they leave with a next step.
half-day & full-day available
Emcee
Event facilitation that keeps energy high, transitions smooth, and your audiene engaged from first introduction to final send-off.
half-day, full-day & multi-day

Some commitments
you just don't walk away from.
From 2017 through 2023, Christin served emcee and facilitator for Wells College Reunion Weekend – a four-day event requiring the ability to hold energy, pivot in real time, and keep a multigenerational audience engaged across formats, sessions, and more than a few unexpected moments.
It’s one thing to deliver a single polished talk. It’s another to sustin a room for four days. Both are on the table.

I don't take that lightly."
