Why you? Why me? Why now?
When I was 7, I stood on a stage for the first time. At 10, I entered my first singing competition. No matter how many times I stood up to perform, I was nervous. But I never stopped doing it.
The difference between speaking fear and joy is perception. When we give FEAR power, we lose before we've begun.
After 25 years teaching thousands of professionals from over 35 cultures how to speak, present and communicate impactfully, I've realised something.
The ONE thing that makes us all equal is...FEAR when speaking in public.
But FEAR can be turned into FORCE!
No matter who you are, where you're from, or what you do, you deserve visibility, you deserve to be heard, and you deserve to enjoy your speaking engagements.
So here’s what I propose:
Make this year YOUR YEAR! The year you invest in achieving you, in your voice, and in sharing your story - your way!
I look forward to meeting you and journeying with you as you unleash the phenomenal presenter within!

What is Neurocultural Communication(™)?
Brain Awareness
Knowing how the brain processes information and emotional triggers is crucial for effective communication. It helps manage audiences, tailor messages to be engaging, memorable and avoid communication barriers that can cause misunderstandings.
Self Awareness
Self-awareness is key to effective communication. By understanding our emotions, biases, and communication mannerisms, we can communicate more clearly and empathetically, avoid misunderstandings, building better relationships.
Language Awareness
Being aware of linguistic diversity is important for effective communication. By acknowledging and respecting different languages and dialects, we can manage our biases, communicate inclusively, build trust and bridge cultural divides.
Cultural Awareness
Cultural awareness is crucial for effective communication. By understanding cultural variations, we can avoid misunderstandings and communicate more respectfully and inclusively with people from diverse backgrounds.
People remember how we make them feel.

I met Christine when I worked in Dublin and she became an inspiration to me, both as a person and as a professional. I was impressed by her organizational skills as well as her leadership ones. I consider her as an example of what a leader should be for many reasons. Christine is very thoughtful and treats everybody kindly and with respect. Even though I had never worked in such position before, she believed that I could do a good job and made me believe as well.
