How do I know? Together, from scratch, we created the number-one business radio show in the country and have interviewed 10,000+ CEOs. These CEOs have repeatedly told me that Christine is ‘incredible,’ and they often have engaged Christine’s counsel―and most important, continue to engage Christine’s counsel.”\n--Herb Cohen, CEO, Executive Leaders Radio\n“Christine has positively changed my behavior and ability to listen more than I talk. My wife has noticed a significant change in my patience; I focus on what she is saying, and only reply after she is done talking with positive comments and an acknowledgment that I did, in fact, not only hear her but listened. I highly recommend taking the time to read her book and have her as a guest speaker because she gets everyone involved.”
--Kevin Nally - CIO, US Secret Service
