One of the world’s most sought-after business humorists, Christine delivers a fast-
paced, uproarious program brimming with memorable quips and relevant content
that helps audiences spark new and innovative ideas, manage conflict, reduce
stress, energize employees, and create a happier more productive workplace.
Christine is one of the few individuals to meet the rigorous induction criteria of
the National Speakers Association, CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, and there’s no
question that she deserves that honor; her effortless ability to pull in any
audience with her remarkable insights on commonplace situations make her and
her messages unforgettable. And, yes, she is also a Certified Virtual Presenter.
Author of the award-winning books, THE GOOD STUFF: Quips & Tips on Life, Love,
Work and Happiness and It’s YOUR Business: Good Stuff for Your Personal,
Professional, and Funny Business, Christine holds a bachelor’s degree in
Communication and a master’s degree in Adult Education. In 2016, she was the
recipient of an honorary doctorate from Central Michigan University.
Before embarking on her journey as a speaker, she worked as a university
admissions officer, corporate trainer, and broadcaster. She is a mother of two,
wife of a “hottie engineer,” and an average golfer.
