Big ideas. Bold delivery.
Unforgettable impact.

Perfect for conferences, offsites or all-staff events, my keynotes mix humour, storytelling and practical strategies to get your people thinking.

Are confidence gaps holding your teams back?

We’ve all seen it (or been there ourselves): the brilliant strategist with no visibility. The rising star who freezes in front of the exec team. The leader with vision, who doesn’t get along with anyone.

It’s not a lack of smarts—it’s a lack of good communication! And it costs your organisation influence, reputation, and results.

My keynotes are designed to spark change for each and every person in the audience. With a mix of humour, stories, and sharp takeaways, I help your people collaborate better, speak with confidence, and turn their messages into impact.

My clients include:

“Christina brought an exciting energy that instantly engaged our audiences as soon as she came to the stage. Speaking on communication and customer service, Christina was relatable, clear and insightful in her approach. Her tips and tricks were weaved into entertaining stories and audience feedback was extremely positive with many saying Christina’s advice would be very useful in their day to day office management.”
“Empowering, engaging and entertaining is the only way to describe the vibrant Christina Canters. Her energy is infectious as she educates her audience with skill, professionalism and humour. The Stockdale & Leggo group engaged Christina to present on the topic of ‘Pitching Yourself’ to our community and she wowed the crowd with her ability to take something that is so daunting and break it down into small, manageable bite sized pieces. We’d highly recommend Christina for future events.”
“Entertaining and teaching an audience of 60 women is definitely not an easy task but Christina did it with ease and style. The energy in the room after her stint on stage was electric. Can’t recommend Christina highly enough!”

How I work:

I believe that people best learn when they are engaged, having fun and feeling safe and supported.

YES to:

  • Practical skills people can use immediately
  • Real world stories and experience
  • Warmth, humour and support

NO to:

  • Loads of text-heavy slides
  • Drowning in theories and stats
  • Lecture style talks (snore!)

Keynote Topics

No two audiences are the same — and neither are my keynotes. Below you’ll find outlines of my most-requested topics. Think of these as starting points — I always tailor the stories, strategies and energy to your people, your challenges, and your event goals.

The Power of Pushing Your Comfort Zone

Fear of failure, perfectionism, and “playing it safe” keep too many smart professionals from realising their potential. In this energising keynote, I share lessons from my own bold leaps — from architect to entrepreneur, and from stand-up comedy to street busking — to show how everyday courage builds stronger leaders and teams.

Audiences walk away seeing that stepping outside their comfort zone isn’t reckless — it’s the foundation for confidence, innovation, and leadership.

Key takeaways for your team:

  • Why comfort zones feel safe — and how they quietly hold people (and teams) back
  • Simple mindset shifts to build confidence and take action, even when it feels uncomfortable
  • Everyday courage practices that create stronger leaders and more resilient teams

Perfect for audiences like:

  • Professionals who play it safe and miss opportunities
  • Teams stuck in “business as usual” needing a spark of courage
  • Emerging leaders learning to embrace change and challenge

Communicate to Lead —
How Confidence Shapes Culture

Technical brilliance means nothing if it isn’t communicated well. When leaders and teams hesitate, ramble, or lack clarity, ideas get lost and authority fades. In this keynote, I show how confident communication isn’t just a “soft skill” — it’s a leadership superpower that shapes culture and drives collaboration.

Through stories, humour, and practical frameworks, your people will see how small shifts in the way they communicate can unlock influence, trust, and impact.

Key takeaways for your team:

  • How communication sets the tone for leadership at every level
  • Tools to speak with confidence, clarity, and presence in high-stakes moments
  • Strategies to engage and influence colleagues, clients, and stakeholders

Perfect for audiences like:

  • Managers and leaders who struggle to influence or inspire
  • Technically skilled professionals who lose impact when they speak
  • Teams who need stronger communication to collaborate effectively

Speak Up & Succeed! For Women in Leadership

In too many workplaces, talented women hold back from speaking up — not because they lack ability, but because they doubt their voice or get drowned out. The result? Talented women stay quiet in meetings, get passed over for opportunities, and their ideas never make the impact they should.

In this keynote, I equip women with the tools to own their expertise more and lead with impact — while showing organisations how to create cultures where women’s voices are not just heard, but amplified.

Key takeaways for your team:

  • How to empower women to contribute ideas with confidence and clarity
  • Practical tools to overcome self-doubt and step into leadership presence
  • Strategies to navigate high-stakes meetings, pitches, and presentations

Perfect for audiences like:

  • Women who hold back in meetings or doubt their voice
  • Emerging women leaders ready to step into visibility and influence
  • Professional women in male-dominated industries or leadership teams
