About Christina Harbridge

Christina Harbridge, Founder and CEO of Allegory Training, is among the highest rated speakers for Entrepreneur's Organization worldwide. She is a recent graduate of "Birthing of Giants" - a three-year business program at MIT for 60 CEOs selected from around the world.

As a young woman, Christina was so terrified of public speaking that she broke out into a rash when asked to present a simple toast at her friend David's wedding. She still regrets handing the microphone to Bob instead of speaking for her best friend. It is her former fear of public speaking that allows her to connect with her audience, whether it is a room full of CEO's, members of Congress or a group of neighborhood mothers learning to advocate for green space.

According to Harbridge, the keystone for powerful, convincing communication is the same at every level: Be Yourself. It is this fundamental principle upon which Harbridge has based her life and career, transforming the rules of business along the way. It is also the basis of her highly acclaimed book Your Professionalism is Killing You: How to be a Better Communicator by Being Yourself.
