Testimonials
"Even virtually, Christine managed to keep our students and university leadership engaged with her powerful storytelling and thoughtful messages. Not many people can convey empathy and humor so well through Zoom, but she did so! She was the perfect keynote for Global Ethics Day 2020, and I know that students and faculty alike will be following up with her." —Gayatree Sarma, Visiting Assistant Professor, Linfield University School of Business
"Christine is a naturally skilled moderator; she facilitated the plenary panel at our 2014 annual symposium for 400 corporate executives, and ensured an interactive, lively, and insightful conversation for a full 90 minutes. She was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event, making sure that all of our speakers were comfortable and on the same page. We would gladly have her back again!" —Margaret O’Gorman, President, Wildlife Habitat Council

"Christine was the opening keynote for our annual conference Responsible Electronics 2014, which is our biggest event of the year for our 100 member companies and colleagues from government, civil society and other stakeholder groups. During her address to our 230 plus attendees, I didn't see a single person check their device for the full hour she was speaking — no small feat in a room full of people from electronics companies! Christine set the tone for an engaging, impactful conference. We would recommend her without reservation to others looking for an inspiring, dynamic speaker." —Julie Schindall, former Director of Communications & Stakeholder Engagement, Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition
