for your insights in our Coaching and Leadership
session, it was very uplifting and motivational.
Now I better understand the frustration
I experience in certain situations. Also,
I feel confident that I can utilize the
communication skills we discussed which
will help me to work more effectively with
senior managers as well as other colleagues.
I can already see the difference.” |

“I have attended other workshops,
such as Meyers Briggs presentations, on
how to better understand your personality
for maximum effectiveness and results in
the workplace and life in general. Christina's

It provided me with real insights to apply
to my interactions. Her presentation style
was dynamic and engaging. She over-delivered
value for the price. ” |

“Christina Santiago
presented a team building/personality assessment
seminar at our Morristown Sky Blue Aviation
Academy location. The presentation was for
the flight instruction staff. We were thrilled
with her magnetism and enthusiasm... Communication
is about much more than hearing and speaking.
It is about listening and what happens if
we don’t understand the words someone else
is using to communicate. This workshop allows
one to cut through the tangled wires and
give and get clear messages. It was the
best investment we’ve made in our staff
since opening our doors. Regardless of the
business or industry everyone benefits from
the information gained from this seminar.”

“I worked for years in Corporate America and was always chastised for my manner. I have taken a number of coaching classes and they had helped me to change my manner so it was more acceptable in Corporate America. Christina’s coaching session made me realize all the benefits of having a high D personality [outgoing, task-driven] and was the first coach to educate me on how to use the positive aspects of that personality to the fullest. I could only imagine the impact Christina would have had if I had met her when I was first starting in the workforce. I believe that she should be an integrated part of every employee trainee program and any team building workshop. ”

“[Christina’s] ability as a speech coach has helped me become a more powerful and effective speaker who now enjoys speaking in public. In addition, the presentation she helped prepare me for resulted in a tremendous opportunity. I have recently been invited to co-lead a joint government and industry team looking to at the future of the aviation industry. When I asked “why me?” the response included a reference to my presentation skills and sited that talk! I have been doing presentations for many years, and that was by far the best I had ever done, and it was a direct result of her incredible coaching.”
-Linda Sollars, Certified Coach, JetBlue Airways, Fight Operations Coach, Airbus Pilot |

“I was in a room of 125 women attending
the “Morris County Chamber of Commerce
Women in Business” networking breakfast
on March 13, 2007. As chair person, I
especially enjoy when we gather to develop
ourselves by learning from one another.
This particular morning was more exciting
than others. While I was listening to
Christina’s presentation on “Resolving
Conflicts at Work” I evaluated the
body language in the room, it was evident
how much value the attendees were getting
from her presentation.
Like many people, I have attended countless
seminars and listened to many motivational
speakers. Christina is unique. Her articulate
presentation will spark anyone’s
enthusiasm despite how seasoned of a professional
they are. We learned how to identify specific
characteristics in people to address them
in a way they will perceive as professional
and amiable.
Christina’s style is very engaging,
she leaves you feeling positive and having
a can-do attitude towards changing for
the better.
We were all very pleased with the event.
Many of the attendees approached me afterwards
and exclaimed their satisfaction with
the program. They really enjoyed Christina’s
style.
Christina’s presentation was one
of the best our WIB program has offered.
I would recommend her to any company or
organization looking to offer a valuable
program and enhance the lives of anyone.”
