Christine Schickinger is a leadership coach, speaker, and creator of the NeuroPositive framework, which integrates neuroscience, behavioral science, and somatic awareness. She works with leaders and professionals to strengthen presence, self-regulation, and decision-making in high-pressure environments.
Her approach combines cognitive clarity with body-based awareness and insights from working with animals, where reactions are immediate and unfiltered. This creates a practical understanding of how state influences behavior, communication, and trust.
Christine speaks on topics such as presence under pressure, attention and cognitive load, nervous system regulation, and leadership beyond purely cognitive models. She is particularly interested in keynote talks, workshops, and panel discussions for corporate audiences, leadership programs, and interdisciplinary events focused on human performance, well-being, and effective leadership.
Presentations
This is an example talk for Chistine Schickinger
Stress affects far more than our mood. It influences attention, memory, decision-making, relationships, and overall cognitive performance.
In this presentation, Christine Schickinger introduces the principles of the Trust Technique®, a unique approach that helps both humans and animals experience deeper calm, connection, and well-being through the practice of conscious presence.
Drawing on insights from neuroscience, nervous system regulation, emotional contagion, and co-regulation, Christine explores why animals often respond more to our internal state than to our actions, and what this reveals about human stress patterns.
Participants will discover:
- How chronic stress affects cognition, behavior, and relationships
- The role of the autonomic nervous system in everyday wellbeing
- Why presence can be more powerful than problem-solving
- How animals provide immediate feedback about our internal state
- Simple practices to reduce mental overload and cultivate calm
Whether you live with animals or not, this session offers a fresh perspective on stress, resilience, and the hidden mechanisms that influence how we think, feel, and connect.
