“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Christy for several years. We have co-facilitated small group learning sessions. Christy has the ability to establish instant rapport with her audience.

It’s guaranteed that you’ll enjoy working with Christy.”

“Christy was instrumental in facilitating our strategic planning process at Dublin Arts Council. She worked calmly and efficiently under a tight deadline, and in a tense political environment. Not only did she deliver a solid plan, blending theory with powerful practical knowledge, she changed the way our organization views itself in enlightening new ways. Christy was professional and nurturing in her approach. Without her expertise and support, I believe Dublin Arts Council would have become obsolete in a number of years. I highly recommend her for any organization that truly wants strategic change to transform their organization.”

All of our marketing efforts can be blown up in a second if we encounter a grumpy usher or an uninformed ticket seller, if we can’t easily find parking, or if we aren’t thanked for our gift. The list of experience faux pas could go on and on. We’ve all had them with other products and services we purchase.
