More on Christine . . .
As the top salesperson in the retail services industry for over eight years, Christine signed the largest contract in the history of her industry in 1994 with Procter & Gamble, doubling the size of her company overnight. Celebrating her 40th birthday, approaching her 20th wedding anniversary and buying the home of her dreams, Christine's world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, the disease that killed her mother at the age of 42. Christine believes that her diagnosis of cancer was a gift that allowed her to make changes in her life and reprioritize. Creating The Cancer Club, Christine uses her 30+ years of marketing expertise to spearhead "the most exciting new business venture to come along in many a decade". Married to speaker/author Harry Beckwith (Selling the Invisible), Christine and Harry consult with companies on marketing with a special emphasis on branding and positioning. She now combines her wisdom, humor, insight and lifetime experiences to encourage great accomplishments in others. Don't forget to laugh!™ and Don't forget to ask!™ are her two trademarks.

Christine is a contributing author to Chicken Soup for the Survivor's Soul, Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul, Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul, and is featured in the books The Courage to Laugh and The Triumph of the Human Spirit: Real Cancer Survivors, Real Battles, Real Victories.

After the first few minutes of listening to Christine, we knew that we had made the correct decision. She conveyed her personal story in such a way that she brought everyone in the room together in such a meaningful way. Truly impressive!"
