Cressence provides next level public speaking & facilitation.
Is your organization or team:
• In need of inspiration, motivation and empowerment?
• Looking for new ways of thinking and operating?
• Grappling with habits and history that are holding you back?
• Embarking on transformative change?
Harnessing decades of public speaking and facilitation experience, I have a knack for shifting mindsets, opening up perspectives, and mobilizing action.
Leaning into my background in art and design, I bring an innovative and inspiring energy to your group. Whether leading or facilitating an interactive talk, workshop, or retreat, my focus is on igniting creativity, connectivity and transformation.
Unlocking the Creative Mindset
Today’s leaders face extreme pressure to innovate with people and products, systems and solutions. During this interactive talk, I will share the five critical aspects of a creative mindset. I’ll then reveal strategies for unleashing it in yourself, providing space for it in working with others, and ultimately harnessing it to achieve your goals.
Signature Talk
Building Your Personal Brand
In a world obsessed with social media and celebrity, women can struggle with how to develop an authentic brand for themselves. In this interactive workshop, I deepen our understanding of how personal brands work, and then share steps and strategies for understanding the most authentic elements of your brand and how to share those in professional environments.
Signature Workshop
Custom Workshop & Retreat Facilitation
Purpose-driven boards, organizations and businesses can find themselves at an inflection point. This can involve integrating new leadership, refreshing identity and purpose, enhancing effectiveness, or transforming ways of operating. Taking a human-centered, systems-minded approach grounded in design thinking, I lead customized workshops and retreats to partner with you to address these challenges head-on.
All engagements can be tailored to fit your group, schedule, and budget.
Let’s discuss what would best serve you.
Client results
“I became the second CEO of a Charlotte-based arts organization 18 years after its founding. Our non-profit was at a pivotal moment, and we knew it was time to re-evaluate our business model, relevance and long-term sustainability.
Betsy expertly facilitated conversations with our entire team, board of directors and strategic planning committee. She pulled in stakeholders who had drifted away. Her process was designed to stimulate new ideas, while being grounded in our strengths and history.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Betsy. I left the process with confidence in our bold, new vision, a roadmap to execute strategies and an eagerness to truly transform the organization. We received unanimous approval from our board of directors and $500,000 in funding to implement our plan, and are projecting a 385% increase in earned revenue year over year.”
