A warm, authentic and experienced leader who engaged the Leadership group.
IAG

Christine’s lived experiences gave our staff, students and community audience some great insight into how leading with people as the focus in an engaged and positive way can directly impact the success of an organisation. How this can create an optimistic and constructive community culture that has the ability to make a difference and impact the lives of those within it.

Christine offered us all an inspired call to action for men to make space for women and for both men and women to ‘stop being afraid’ to challenge status quo and cultural norms when it comes to progressing gender equality.

Yarra Ranges Council and Women’s Health East were both thrilled to host Christine at our International Women’s Day event and would recommend having Christine share her wisdom and philosophies on leadership, challenges in progressing gender equality and fostering positive organisational culture and change.
Yarra Ranges Shire Council

Christine was exactly the right speaker for our group. She was motivating, encouraging and understanding. Christine did her homework, took the time to get to know the group she was presenting to by coming early and observing and was just an absolute hit with our staff. Many of our guests on the day have indicated they could have listened to Christine and her stories and hear about her life experience for hours.
