“Christie has accomplished what I thought was not possible. She got us to communicate and work together more consistently to show a more united front to our membership, which was our biggest goal.”
- EA, Union Board, 125 year old global leader in telecom

… want a program created just for your workgroup,
not off the shelf


“Christie Ward observed a new program we were launching for our newspaper staff. The initial launch fell flat but we revived it after her outstanding coaching and recommendations. Our employees consistently rated her training among the highest. She understands how adults learn and how to make learning fun.”
- ET, Training Executive for Metropolitan Newspaper

… require the right training to get buy-in from a particularly tough group

“The program met my needs for the group as the first step in self-awareness and how to function as a group. This program should be offered to other departments/groups.”

Connect Inspiration with your business objectives

When was the last time you heard a great keynote speaker, but the next day couldn’t tell someone what you’d heard?

What if your next speaker created such a “buzz” that people actually got motivated and changed their behavior at the same time?

The iMPACT Institute delivers keynote presentations that connect inspiration with your business objectives—essential ingredients for changing behaviors in your organization.

“…they quickly saw the power of telling stories and emotionally connecting with the audience”

Christie Ward's keynote Communicate for Impact! blends behavior styles with storytelling to help people create their own "personal brand". Your personal brand tells people who you are and what you stand for. Your brand is your message and Christie teaches you to deliver it with impact, in the context of the style of your listeners. Christie demonstrates the four behavior styles: dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness through interactive DVD technology, humorously customized to your organization. Audience members leave with new insight and skill they can immediately put to use! And they are entertained in the process.

“…they experienced deep learning rather than superficial interest in techniques”

Christie uses a variety of media including DVD and interactive video/improv to get her high-impact points across. She has participants craft their own messages so they’re able to take away new skills and insights and apply them immediately.

“While most of the participants immediately embraced your ideas and suggestions, it is even more significant to note that the ‘reluctant’ participants came around in the end.

After these reluctant participants saw how the senior executives responded to the speakers who used the techniques you suggested, they quickly saw the power of telling stories and emotionally connecting with the audience.

Clearly, they experienced deep learning rather than superficial interest in techniques. It is no easy task to engage left-brained, highly skilled engineers in storytelling and emotional connection.

You did it!”

—C.F., Ph.D. principal of the leadership program for the Fortune 500 technology company at the forefront of network computing

“Christie not only delivered an interactive, on-target training for our managers, she was also very easy to work with. Christie took the initiative to learn about our unique culture and she collaborated with us to customize a program that truly met our needs. The participants walked away with tools and techniques they could use right away, and they enjoyed the learning process. When you are in fast-paced production environment like ours, learning must be impactful, but if it is enjoyable, participants want to come back for more. Our employees want more from Christie! Thanks Christie for all your work!”
