“A Talented Leader”

“Christine is a talented leader who brings so much value to each organization with which she partners. Christine began coaching top staff at Mercado Global seven years ago, and has since then helped our team grow and blossom. Her support and mentorship have been a fundamental component of our success over the years, especially through our successful pivot during the pandemic. Any individual or company would be fortunate to work with Christine.”

“Christine was the reason for our success”

“In 2019, my brother and I were asked by HSBC to present at a global leadership conference in Hong Kong. The stakes were high as the audience formed the highest echelons of HSBC. Delivering a compelling presentation that communicated key messages to make a profound shift in the minds of leaders was essential. Christine forced us to rethink the foundations of how we present and provided life skills on how to successfully communicate. She had us in the most uncomfortable position, but within that discomfort was the opportunity to make a great change. We humbly believe Christine was the reason for our success that day and look forward to working with her again.”

“Christine is open and forthright with her feedback.”

“Having worked with a number of public speaking coaches over the years, I can confidently say that Christine and her team are first-rate. I have witnessed her work wonders with executives and frontline colleagues, helping to calm their nerves and impress their audiences. She is able to quickly identify people’s strengths and weaknesses when it comes to public speaking, and has a wonderful way of putting them at ease. Christine is open and forthright with her feedback and has a very practical toolkit to help people prepare. If you want to improve your public speaking skills or are leading an event and want to elevate the impact of your speakers, I highly recommend Christine.”

“Contribute’s training was exceptional.”

Contribute’s training was exceptional. My team members are now far more confident in their ability to connect with myriad audiences, and far more comfortable in effectively addressing contentious issues in public.

In over 40 years, I can think of no other single training that has provided such a tremendous benefit on several levels.

“Productivity is up”

Productivity is up because we’re spending less time writing and rewriting and more time engaged in the actual work.

“My colleague and I got a lot out of our Contribute experience.”

My colleague and I got a lot out of our Contribute experience. He says he has shifted his approach and he’s no longer talking at his directs; instead, he has learned to ask more questions and listen to the answers, building trust and engaging others in their development. In turn, they feel empowered and more responsible for their performance.

“Nice balance of knowledge learning versus participation”

The session had a nice balance of knowledge learning versus participation, and I always love the use of real-life experiences you included to help bring it to life. Helena from my team said you were brilliant and she really enjoyed it. Most importantly, not only are we bringing in more deals, but the revenue attached to those deals is higher.

“Understanding my emotional intelligence under stress has been eye-opening.”

Understanding my emotional intelligence under stress has been eye-opening. I have never practiced mindfulness techniques before. Now I know why, how, and when I should. Practicing square breathing before walking into a recent confrontational meeting helped me maintain composure. I noticed that another colleague was still reeling hours after the meeting we attended, whereas I felt calm and focused.
