Why You Should Hire Me as a Speaker
If you are looking for a no-nonsense strategic partner and a passionate keynote speaker to elevate your audience at your next corporate event or conference, look no further. I bring a unique blend of both life and professional experience mixed with data-driven insights and trends. Your audience will be grateful they attended your event or tuned into your podcast.
My Public Speaking Approach
I always thoroughly research the topic I cover. My extensive professional and life experiences, combined with a systemic perspective, provide WOW insights for your audience.
Presentation Formats
My public speaking style is ideal for corporate and conference keynote talks, as well as for smaller, in-depth workshops tailored to specific target audiences – including women leaders, minorities, HR and communication specialists, among others.
Public Speaking Experience
Annually, I speak at a minimum of five regional and global corporate events and international conferences, and I conduct at least three significant interviews. My virtual and in-person talks are attended by thousands of individuals.




The Holy Trinity of My Thought Leadership
The Topics That Get My Juices Flowing
I never take the stage without a strong belief in the topic that I am about to cover. You can bet that the topic we choose for my talk will be rooted in my personal experiences and passion for authentic, impactful communication.
Women in Leadership
This topic has fascinated me since my journalism days. Why are there so few women in top leadership positions? What needs to change for us to see more women in these roles? Why do women leaders remain nearly invisible in the media, and what can we do about it? Hire me to discuss:
- Why we need more women CEOs.
- How to accelerate women’s career growth.
- The importance of purpose beyond profit for women leaders.
Strategic Communications
I grew up with the power of stories; in fact, they were one of the few comforts during those long winter nights of my childhood. In leveraging storytelling I build on my grandfather’s legacy. Hire me to talk about:
- Personal branding for women leaders.
- The impact of storytelling on advancing women’s careers.
- Networking in-person and online.
The Future of Work
One of the major accelerators of women’s careers and well-being at work is the adoption of flexible, distributed, hybrid, and remote work. Yet, the post-pandemic reality looks bleak. Why is this happening? Why do so many managers force a return to the office — return to the past, really — when our future is clearly digital and flexible? Hire me to speak about:
- The positive impact of flexible remote work on women.
- Improving focus and productivity in remote settings.
- Distributed leadership in future-oriented companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions I receive from corporate event and conference organizers. Take a look, clarify your next steps, and let's talk.
How good is your English?
Even though I am not a native speaker, I built my career as an English-language journalist and later as a regional and global entrepreneur, people and organization developer in English. You can rely on the quality of my spoken English to engage both native and non-native English-speaking audiences effectively.
Do you deliver talks online only, or do you also work in-person?
Generally, my work and talks are conducted online. However, I am more than happy to attend regional and global corporate events and conferences where I am invited to speak. The price might be significantly higher than for online delivery, but the in-person experience will surely be enhanced by our physical presence and subsequent face-to-face chat.
How expensive are your public speaking services?
My public speaking services reflect more than 14 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies in Europe, all my professional education, and my obsessive focus on quality and effective impact. This will be reflected in the price of my public speaking packages. However, there is always room for negotiation and alignment if budget concerns arise, especially when you are committed to delivering the best for your audience at your next event.
How long are your keynote talks?
The duration can vary based on your needs. Typically, keynote talks last from 30 to 90 minutes, including Q&A. The final length of my talk for your event will be determined based on your program, priorities, and budget.
How long are your live workshops?
The duration depends on their role in your program. A live workshop can range from 60 minutes to 4 hours, with one or two short breaks. The final length of my workshop for your event will be determined based on your program, priorities, and budget.
How far ahead should we hire you for a keynote talk or live workshop?
Due to my commitment to building our business and community, my calendar is typically booked about a year in advance. I encourage initiating a conversation and hiring me as soon as you decide to work together for the event. You can also inquire about availability for events happening in less than a year; there’s a chance I could accommodate you. Note that my flexibility is greater for online events than for in-person events, which require travel and significant advance planning.
How should I proceed if I want you to speak on our next podcast episode?
Please email me at cristina.muntean@vornica.com with details about your intention and needs, and suggest a timeline. I will make every effort to accommodate your request. Note that filling in complex podcast speaker profiles is not feasible for me. The most efficient way to get to know me better is to email or WhatsApp your questions to (+420 776 574 925), and I will respond with a video or audio message to help you assess my fit for your interview.
