CURRENT MISSION

To help people build confidence, get outside their comfort zone and achieve the success they want at work, in business and in life.

ABOUT ME

A former architect from Melbourne, Australia, I quit my job in 2014 to follow my passion. I travelled and couchsurfed in the USA, Europe and SE Asia and returned to Melbourne in late 2014 to start my own training business, The C Method.

At The C Method, I work with young professionals and business owners to help them be more effective when they speak, present and pitch. I do this through individual coaching, group workshops, seminars and my podcast 'Stand Out Get Noticed' at thecmethod.com.

I also blog about my life adventures at christinacanters.com. If you want to get an idea of my personality, check out my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/christinacanters/

I currently live near the beach in Melbourne with my lovely boyfriend :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in doing what you love. Life is too short to be living for the weekend! I also believe in surrounding yourself with the right people if you want success in any area of your life. I believe that getting out of your comfort zone is the best way to learn and grow. I believe that peanut butter is best eaten smooth, out of the jar with a spoon.
