"Christy, you are the epitome of an engaging and caring instructor! It is a delight to observe you interacting with your students and their engagement in working with you is a testament to your skill in the classroom.

The progression from start to finish is always amazing!"

Adrienne Palermo

"I find the boot camp approach simple yet powerful. Christy’s balance of guidance with personal accountability to do the work is key.

The community of us going through this together is equally powerful to learn from each other. The simple ways to connect online in discussion groups as well as with the weekly calls. I know I am not alone."

Kay Geiger

"Probably the most dynamic speaker I've ever heard at the Women's Conference!"

Catrena Bowman-Thomas

Northern KY Chamber of Commerce | Kentucky

"Christy was phenomenal! Everybody I talked to after the event said just how amazing she was as a presenter. I think it was because she tapped into something that was real, that we all experience.

We all deal with fear. She really gave us some good tangible ways in how to deal with that fear, how to confront it and how to move past it."

Miriam Maiden

Portland Trailblazers | Portland, OR

"Working with Christy has been a gamechanger for my career. I originally started with it being a professional development goal for myself. The feedback ended up coming in handy and right on time. I was able to use what I learned immediately.

Christy helped me work through real time situations as part of our sessions. With what I learned and her feedback, I was accepted into a leadership program and landed the position of a lifetime. Thank you, The Empowered Speaker! I will definitely use your services again."

Christa G

“When my 16-year-old son set out to compete in a highly competitive regional oratorical competition with an original piece, we were lucky to find Christy. Her coaching made all the difference. 

Christy gave invaluable feedback on his speech, helping him make it more personal and strengthening his connection to the piece. She worked with him on his tone, inflection, the intentionality of his movements, and the overall persuasiveness of his delivery. Under her guidance, he created a performance that connected across generations and earned him a first-place finish!

We’re so grateful for Christy’s caring and constructive coaching. We would highly recommend her services to anyone preparing for an important speech or competition. Worth every penny!”
