I attended a week long conference in Kenya, Africa where Connie spoke 2 or 3 times daily. Connie was funny, thought provoking, and inspirational. She engaged her audience with her warmth, wit and wisdom whether her audience was children, teens, women, a mixed group, American or African. Everyone left her presentations feeling lighter and more valued as a person.

I have had the privilege of hearing Ms. Connie speak on many occasion's and from my personal experience I can say that when she is in front of a group of people the way she present's herself demands your attention. Ms. Connie has a distinct aire of confidence in her mannerisim that you cannot help but respect; she speaks in a way that you feel not only she is speaking to the group but also to you individually. Its been a while since I have heard her speak and I can still recall what she said on several different subject's to me that is the mark of a very talented public speaker.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Connie for the past two years. During that time, I have had numerous opportunities to observe her teaching. Connie challenges and inspires her students to be strong, compassionate medical assistants, and helps them work through many life challenges.
Connie has been my mentor and a dear friend; and my life has been greatly enriched by knowing her.

For eight months I was honored to be a student in Ms. Christiansen class. Daily I was felt inspired and my spirit was uplifted. Ms. Christiansen turned every lecture to inspirational experience. She taught us all of the essential tools we needed to be a outstanding professional. We learned how to stand by our vaules, beliefs and morals. She taught us how our attitude is choice and the importance of adjusting to every environment to be successful. I enrolled in college expecting to learn about the medica field, yet I learned one of lifes most important lessons how to be a passionate, confident, inspiring well rounded professional. I am forever greatful fo all of the lessons I learned daily.

Connie,
Everyone LOVED you, and I mean EVERYONE! Thank you for donating your time, and your book to our library.

I really enjoyed hearing “What we think is Plan B Really is Plan A.” I took so much from your speech, and I know all that attended did too! Thank you for reminding our community that LOVE connections are made every day and ALL around the world and that Faith is Always better than doubt.

We truly do have SO many things to be thankful for, and you my dear are most definitely one of them!

My Dear New Sister Connie
What great joy and blessings to have you in our land of Kenya,

Daily I receive messages from throughout Africa how God has used your message of Love to transform lives and marriages. People are still calling into the radio station, wanting to hear more from you. Through your books and the message you shared with us it has brought a great transformation in lives.

Thanks for standing with us and supporting us spiritually and financially. Through your support, we have touched the lives of many children and people from our communities. God is going to do amazing things as we bring hope to the hopeless.

We love you, our dear one. Please accept much regards from my family, the children, widows, women and the church at large, they truly love you. May God's favor rest upon you.

From Your New Little African Brother,
Samuel

"When Connie speaks before large groups she brings a warm one-on-one feeling. Before more than 1400 graduates and their family members, Connie encouraged everyone to believe in their hopes and dreams for a brighter future.

Her delivery invoked thought with humor, and engaged the entire group throughout her presentation. I am inspired by her enthusiasm. She encourages me to reach for a purpose. I am reminded of what I am grateful for, and excited to reach for the desires God has placed in my heart. There is no challenge too big. There is no heartache too deep. And there is always something to laugh about.

Connie is a fabulous speaker, that I am honored to recommend."
~ J. Schilling, Academic Director, Event Attendee
