Speaking and Learning from the Overflow

Three of my top five CliftonStrengths are Learner, Input, and Intellection.

Translation: I love to learn a lot and about a wide range of topics.

My neurodivergent traits of special interests and hyperfocus create an intense desire to learn about subjects that pique my interest, which means I'm usually reading several books at a time.

Seymour Papert said, “Children learn best when they are actively engaged in constructing a personally meaningful artefact which they can share with others.”

This is definitely how I approach my learning endeavors. I learn best when I create artifacts about what I learned to share with others.

Videos. Workshops. PDFs. Books. Games. Spreadsheets.

The subject matter and output possibilities are endless.

Whether I’m recording a video, preparing a new resource, or speaking, you can expect several things to be true.

  • I'm having fun. I love creating content from what I've learned, and the enthusiasm shows through.
  • I distill hours of research and learning into an experience that is practical, understandable, and inspirational.
  • When I'm teaching, the learning is not passive. Participants engage with the material in hands-on, engaging ways.
  • Participants leave with practical tools and techniques they can use immediately.

What others have to say about Crystal's Sessions

Ethical practice brought to life

Crystal presented and facilitated a learning event on the topic of Ethical Practice for the Professional Christian Coaching Institute; she was exceptional! Her engaging presence and skillful facilitation brought ethical practice to life in a way that felt both accessible and deeply meaningful. Through creative exercises and well-crafted thought experiments, she elevated our awareness and invited us to see ethics not as a requirement to manage, but as something we genuinely want to embrace. Crystal has a gift for creating learning environments that are reflective, practical, and inspiring; it was a delight to benefit from her skills, her teaching, and her presence.
Cindy Schmelzenbach, MCC, ESIA

A “hit it out of the ballpark” training

Crystal’s presentation was truly excellent. It was a “hit it out of the ballpark” training and a wonderful experience for our CCE series. She has a gift for breaking down directions into clear, easy-to-follow steps while keeping participants engaged throughout the entire workshop. She created an interactive learning experience that held the audience’s focus without pulling attention away from the main content. The result was a session that was energizing, meaningful, and impactful for everyone involved.
Rachel McCluskey, CPLC, Chancellor of Professional Christian Coaching Institute

Well-researched and prepared

Crystal was not only fully prepared and engaging, but the host of resources, data, and research behind her methods was completely sound. I did not go away feeling burdened with one more thing to add to our calendar, but I felt excited and fully prepared to implement what I learned!

Breath of Fresh Air

I just wanted to say what a joy it was to be in your workshops and learn from your wisdom. You had some refreshing ideas that I plan to implement.

Easily digestible

Like a rich stock, Crystal takes concepts and simmers them down into an easily digestible form where they are easy to understand and implement. To listen to Crystal speak is to dip from the pot of her hours of research and insight for a very pleasant and practical meal.
