"I came in not having a business, a product, or a service but knew that I needed to take action in my life. I can’t believe the amount of energy, knowledge and network contacts that I am taking away from this weekend.

"I came to this seminar with an open mind and hope. I have spent the last 9 months walking into closed doors, and thereby had become negative and frustrated. After hearing the speakers, speaking individually with them and feeling their sincerity I am primed to deal with more inevitable rejection which will come. The connections that were made are invaluable."
Carol S. Key
Carol S. Key Agency

I would have come up to shake your hand but there was a line so please accept this heartfelt thank you."

"Only the most proactive and properly trained will flourish and be able to grow their startup into a mighty venture. Christine is the secret weapon for getting that proper training and taking you up to whatever heights you want to go."
Randy 'Dr. Proactive' Gilbert
"Christine Comaford has turned the traditional VC process on its ear."
Fortune magazine
"By reputation, [Christine Comaford] is the woman you want to partner with."
Newsweek magazine
"Spend five minutes with Christine Comaford and the overriding impression you get is one of energy… velocity… sheer momentum.
Christine is a whirling dervish of action and inspiration. She is the rarest of Silicon Valley personae: the bottom-line financier with a top-line evangelistic zeal."
Stanford Graduate School of Business, Palo Alto, CA
"With her unparalleled background and experience, Christine shares with you an insider's approach to creating, continuing, and improving any business. Her methods and tools are incredibly easy to follow, and extremely effective. You'll leave with a new plan in hand, and you'll have a lot of fun along the way."
Jesse Ianniello, Director of Training, Chicken Soup for the Soul Enterprises
"Our members rely on us to provide them with leading-edge speakers and break-through ideas. Christine keynoted our annual CEO conference and got a standing ovation. Need I say more? Nope."
Michael Sansolo, Senior Vice President Food Marketing Institue
"We’re a high performance service team in a very complex business with very demanding customers. We’ve been ‘hard at it’ for 4 years since the last merger, tasked with delivering huge savings and other value contributions to the business year on year.
We also reduced our headcount significantly during the same time. Get the picture? A lot of committed, but tired professionals. Christine Comaford spent 90 minutes with our team talking about her life experiences and how we could use her learnings to re-energize, beat bureaucracy and put excitement back into the job.
We’re a tough group… but it was transformational. She’s the best!"
VP Procurement, Global Systems and Operations, Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical Company
"Christine showed our team how to turn perceived liabilities into assets. As a small business we were stuck and needed to break out of our stagnant revenue level. She helped us see innovation and growth in a whole new way. Now we relish the fact that we’re the scrappy underdog, and we use it to our advantage."
CEO, Inc. 500 Office Products company
"What’s one of the first things I do when starting a new business?
I call Christine."
Gopi Mattel, Serial Entrepreneur
"I was looking for a straight-shooter to tell me if one of my investments was a dog. This venture wanted me to invest another $10 million.
Christine came in, assessed the team, product and prospects, and recommended I cease investment. I did. Nine months later the company went under.
She saved me the $10 million and a lot of heartache. I only wish I’d met her sooner."
Retired CEO and investor, Fortune 500 Media
"Our board of directors was entirely dysfunctional. As Chairman, everyone was looking to me to fix it. I’d seen Christine on CNN and MSNBC and thought I’d give her a shot.
She helped us get past our issues and focus on what matters: putting our differences aside and building the company."
Retired CEO and Chairman of the Board, Fortune 500 Technology
"When the Oval Office says ‘jump!’ the only question is ‘how high’?
Christine helped us develop and launch our intranet strategy, which was super aggressive for standard-pace government workers.
She got everyone past the fear of change and into the excitement of it – and now Americans have access to far more government data via self-serve web sites.
Christine’s contribution to creating a government that works better and costs less was critical."
Technology Aide, National Performance Review, Clinton Administration
"Christine was brought in to light a fire under our client services team so they could face the battles ahead with renewed gusto. She did just that, and a whole lot more. Now we rely on her for a shot in the arm when teams across our divisions are dragging."
EVP, Human Resources, Fortune 500 Financial Services Company

From Conference Organizers...
"Finally—a strong, articulate, intelligent individual who stood as a role model for our audience. Thank you so very much for making a difference. Our attendees continued to talk about your message throughout the week."
Cinda Daly, CEO, Focus Events, Inc.
"Christine is a powerhouse of resources and creativity. She is high voltage material! Her content is real; her business tools are savvy, applicable and practical to business owners needing a reality check on what really works to grow your business.
One valuable key point she gave us was the importance of energy = equity = access = influence, you have to hear her to get this magical formula of building powerful relationships to accelerate your business growth. She owns her material and is passionate about it, so much it makes you want to play a bigger game!
Find an event where’s she’s presenting, get her book, get an opportunity to be in the same room with her, you’ll get walk-away material you can immediately apply to your life or reframe your perspective to work smart not hard!"
Claudia & Fabrice Caporal, PeerMomentum.com
"You have to see Christine to believe her--and even then it’s hard. The audience, tired after several days of intensive training, was captivated. Christine goes beyond mere credibility, intelligence, enthusiasm and humor to something very rare indeed: a feeling in the audience that she is their best friend, mentor and ultimate champion. And she is. Awesome."
Seymour Segnit, Founder & President, Change That's Right Now, Inc.
"It was a very great pleasure to meet and listen to you. The students couldn't stop raving about your presentation and about you. On a scale of 1-100, you were a 1000. Many thanks for coming and giving us so much!"
Phillip H. Gordon, Consultant and Adjunct Faculty, Mills Graduate School of Business
"Christine was one of the highest ranking speakers at our recent event – no surprise given her sense of humor, terrific content and wonderful energy.

I highly recommend Christine as a speaker at your upcoming event. She will definitely WOW your audience!"
