Crystal Washington

“In 12 years of going to conferences and our conferences twice a year, I have never seen a keynote speaker who put forward the level of pre‐work and research to really understand our audience or her audience, the way that she did. She got us in a way that I have not seen other speakers who come from outside of our profession. And then she applied what she learned about us to provide education about specific things that we needed to know.”

“I really like that you tailored your discussion to your audience. You clearly did a lot of research on your audience and our industry and tied in your discussion to relevant industry topics. Very nice touch for the speech.”

“Crystal, thank you for your excellent presentation to the Packaging Distributors of America! Your topic, Harnessing Generative AI Like ChatGPT for Enhanced Performance, was exactly what our distributors and suppliers needed. You made advanced topics easy to understand, and you brought it all home with practical industry examples. I especially appreciated your prework that resulted in your really understanding our audience and even including some of them on the screen! You and your team were exceptional and very easy to work with! Thank you again.”

“Crystal Washington was the perfect fit for our annual sales conference this year. Her energy, enthusiasm in a virtual setting, combined with her ability to pull in relevant company information and material, made her session the highlight of our conference! Not only was Crystal easy to work with, she went above and beyond by tailoring her content to our conference theme. She was entertaining, she was relevant and she was spot on! She even included members of our audience in a fun and engaging way that had everyone laughing (in a good way). Her professionalism and presentation style left a lasting impression for me as the conference planner and all of our attendees, including leadership. If you are looking for a dynamic speaker to engage your attendees, I highly recommend Crystal.”

“Crystal listened and reacted with an extremely customized program that included some shout‐outs to those registered for the webinar which made it feel extremely personal and engaging.… She also hosted a very lively game show that featured Presidents from 3 of our Chapters that created some fun and allowed this content to be very specific to our audience.”

“Crystal’s preparation in making her presentation custom to our audience was game‐changing. The way she integrated some of our participants with pictures and samples using their actual pictures and posts were impressive.… The other great thing about Crystal was her prep in bringing not just entertainment but true value with specific examples of how we all can better engage our friends and clients via our social platforms.”

“For our 125th annual convention, we wanted a speaker who would help our member agencies look to the future and not with dread.… Clearly, she did her advance research on our industry and she created a positive connection with our members and audience. Beyond amazing!”

“Crystal! She is a rockstar! So incredibly prepared! The level of customization she was able to integrate with her presentation was truly amazing — especially given the crunch time we had to prep!”

“Crystal, You. Are. Amazing! Time and time again you deliver a truly customized experience with added special touches to each of your keynotes.… In the first minute of the video, you added the Crystal‐effect by customizing the content and celebrating our members and their achievements. It was phenomenal and our student leaders and their teachers are still raving about the presentation and implementing the ideas you shared.”

“Some people give the same talk everywhere; it was very obvious she tailored this to our industry. Very captivating and enlightening.”

“Crystal commanded the room with an energizing, engaging and informative session and provided our attendees with actionable steps they can take that are specific to our industry.”
