Cristina has an extremely warm and natural approach that made me feel very relaxed throughout the whole exercise. She radiates confidence and broad experience. The media training consisted of several segments with practical exercises. I found the methodology superbly adjusted to the tight time frame and I have easily absorbed the essentials from the universe of media exposure. The practical exercises (interviews) were extremely useful. Overall the training helped me to verify my strengths easily and to practically identify areas for improvement. The team led by Christina was superbly prepared so all segments were seamlessly executed. My general impression was exceptionally positive. First of all her training helped me to put my previous media experiences into perspective, as well as to identify improvement areas. And most important - it has improved my level of self confidence for future media "exposure" of any kind. I am now regularly using all "tips and tricks" learned with Cristina.
Because she has been on 'both sides of the microphone’, Cristina is a unique coach for executives needing to face the media with confidence, grace and authentic power. When we were approached by one of Central Europe’s fastest-growing banks to help their senior leaders be more confident and ‘real’ in front of the media and inventors, we contacted Cristina immediately to be on our consulting team. In her workshop using video/feedback, she taught the executives the best way to address potentially embarrassing issues, what to do if they were asked about something they knew nothing about, and how to take on ‘ambush questions’. We highly recommend her to you for your communication and leadership development needs.

During my time as CEO of Foxconn Global Services Division (FGSD) in the Czech Republic I became acquainted with Cristina when we both worked at a specific account development project. The cooperation worked so well that we asked Cristina to work more intensively for my organization in order to develop the Communications and Marketing strategy for FGSD. I must say that working with her changed not only my professional, but also my private life. It changed my view on things that one can observe daily in the media and it definitely added value to my business by leveraging the company resources in order to enable sustainability and growth. I am no longer working as CEO of Foxconn GSD, but I will certainly rely on Cristina again in the future to support me personally in all aspects of company communication, to train people in my organisation and to support with developing sales and HR team capabilities. As a modern CEO I recognize that communications and marketing require a professional approach. For that you must rely on real professionals. Professionals like Cristina. As a CEO I found it delightful to work with Cristina because you can rely on her with all aspects of your communications and marketing both for the company and for you as a leader.
