Testimonials
“Christine is a phenomenal trainer, leader and connector of people. I wouldn’t look anywhere else if I needed training on apps like MailChimp, Instagram, Facebook Page optimization, Canva and more. Not only is she a great instructor, she has a profound ability to connect the right people to each other to accelerate your success. Whether social networking or in-person networking, Christine is your gal – as evidenced in the rocking group she hosts #MAWB (Mississauga and Area Women in Business). Connect with her, book a training, come to a MAWB event… you’ll be glad you did.”
Anneline B.
“Sure, you can eventually figure out how to use most social media apps and business assistance tools (like MailChimp) on your own, but why waste all that time and energy muddling around on your own when you can spend two hours training with Christine and com out with a better-than-working-knowledge of the ins and outs of each program? Her pricing is more than reasonable and you save so much time it’s more than worth it! I have taken her Canva, Instagram, and Facebook Page courses, and she has introduced a series of courses on the Google business suite I am very interested in.”
