Authenticity for Gentle Resilience. Re-framing Authenticity for your audience
Authenticity has been co-opted as a marketing buzzword, lately, but may you never lose sight of its true meaning. We stay put in too many boxes to ensure we belong, keep income, keep the peace, but may I invite you to step out?
Many of us, even having recognized the devastating impact that '‘go-go-go’ is having on our well-being — physical, mental, emotional, relationships — are afraid to make the changes we need to, in order to restore harmony. We fear being considered "weak" or "lazy” — even as research proves leisure, laziness, are necessary for true creativity and productivity. The latest pandemic has added to that the lens that if you’re intuitive, you are denying science. Still, that same pandemic reminds us that:
going to work sick never made sense.
working remotely for far fewer hours — when forced to actually be full-time parents or at home with dependent loved ones — didn't sink the ship at work.
work first and life later is not where we thrive, and
for many parents, that economic work over primary care for their families didn't resonate at all!
Resilience is not always forcefully demonstrated. Gentle does not mean lacking confidence, or the capacity to be fierce. 24/7 is not sustainable in entrepreneurship and leadership, or in life. Going non-stop simply isn’t healthy. These societal “musts” may reflect your truth sometimes, but what happens when they don't? Welcome.
Authenticity truly energizes you, and it overflows to those you interact with—your family, your clients, your team. As you step more fully into yourself, you also find community through genuine compatibility. In this talk,
Deconstruct common ideas that may have derailed your inherent truths.
Discover your true voice and values, to get clear on Authenticity to You.
Stay Authentic AND Comfortable knowing not everyone will like it.
Release hurt, resentment and the urge to rebel, when “they” Don't Embrace the Authentic You.
Discover community that celebrates the Authentic You.
As a keynote speaker, my invitation to authenticity, self-acceptance and, where it resonates, the intuitive feminine, leaves your audience ready to unapologetically own their desire for a more sustainable pace, more mindful lifestyles. True authenticity. True peace of mind—without resentment, rebellion or explanation.

Main Thought Leadership & Signature Talk
Authenticity for Gentle Resilience
Authenticity, Self, the Feminine and Intuition.
Gentle conversations for gentle resilience.
Beyond my main keynote, you will find my gentle invitations to authenticity, self-acceptance, the feminine and intuition. In my interviews, online content and now on Patreon, Instagram, YouTube and eventually Teachable. I am not a coach. I give no advice. As a keynote speaker, author or content creator, my conversations are truly an invitation for you to get back to leading yourself.
In a society that forces us to focus outside of ourselves so that it can consume most of our energy before we can, what I hope you will find here is space to look within.
All that is offered here invites you back to your intrinsic self, including your natural rhythms and needs. May what you find here spark true self-discovery and self-acceptance that honours individual sovereignty and holds space for an intrinsic sense of authenticity that inspires gentle resilience within you.
So, here is an invitation that you don't really need from me, but from yourself, to slow down and hold space for yourself to get back to your innate wisdom. What are your values and beliefs, beyond what you're taught? What are you always trying to change or fix about yourself that perhaps is fine as it is? What if your comfort zone is where you find your calm, and not the terrible thing you've been told it was?
Explore how basic ideas like “follow your bliss” reignite the feminine (for women) and intuition, and why that matters. Decide for yourself what your boundaries are, without having to defend them, and find easier ways to live them.
Here, may you embrace what resonates and release what does not.

Happy Clients
I've listened to the webinar twice since…
“I participated in Crystal-Marie's webinar titled 'Pricing for Your Lifestyle', which was offered through Company of Women. I've listened to the webinar twice since then because I was very interested in what she had to say and to make sure it was sinking in. I have been in business 15 years, but I am still not as confident about pricing as I want to be. Crystal-Marie has helped me realize that I am offering a quality service which I should be paid for because it has value. I needed the moral boost that Crystal-Marie gave me."

Crystal-Marie's workshops followed by a group session and a private session have given me what I need to be confident and competent in strategizing and managing MaestroQ's social media presence.
“…Crystal-Marie helped me to navigate through the social media channels, simplify my process, and learn the social media nuances. Crystal-Marie customized our group session based on collective needs and customized my private session based on my particular challenges. Working with Crystal-Marie was easy and enjoyable. I really enjoyed the convenience and effectiveness of online meetings."
