Hey! I’m Christina Blacken, Founder of The New Quo
I'm the founder of The New Quo, a leadership development company that's trained 31,000 values-driven people to lead, through daily acts of courage that build trust and well-being in how we live and work together. My keynotes and workshops don't just inspire— they give people actionable tools to overcome fear and self-doubt, lead with their values, and create meaningful change.
Your Story is Your Leadership Superpower
Speaking Topics
My gift is translating complex social and behavioral ideas into engaging, relatable insights. I tell stories, facilitate transformational discussions, sing a tune when the moment's right, and blend evidence-based practices with real-world application.
Talk 1 Tell it Proud: daily acts of courage through the power of your story
Our brains are wired for negativity, but our stories don't have to be. The Tell it Proud framework helps participants turn values-aligned life experiences into powerful narratives that build confidence and inspire others to act.
Talk 2: Discover your unique leadership story through narrative intelligence
Leadership isn’t about your title, it’s defined by your choices. Participants discover how making values-aligned choices, despite fear, discomfort, or uncertainty—becomes their authentic leadership story that inspires others.
Each keynote or workshop is informed by The New Quo Change model, which uses the four key methodologies below to deliver transformational learning experiences that inspire the audience, help them create meaningful connection with others, and take actionable steps towards status-quo breaking goals:
