Events & Speaking Engagements

My love of teaching and traveling both began at the age of five. Not long after my fifth birthday, I took my very first plane ride from Atlanta to Miami. I still remember how in awe I was at the entire experience. I have the same sense of awe every time I fly.

Around that same time, I decided that I was a teacher and that I wanted to be a teacher for the rest of my life. I insisted on teaching my younger brothers how to read, write and do math. They tolerated it for a while and I grew up and earned a degree in education.

I still ADORE teaching and making a difference in people's lives, just in a different space! I'd love to share my experiences that I've learned along the way in the travel industry with your group or at your special event.

The way I see it, I now live the best of both worlds! Teaching and Traveling!

A few of my favorite things to share about:

While I have topics that I enjoy speaking about, my mission is to always speak to what my audience needs to hear. The only thing that is constant in our industry is change and so you'll find my presentations are adaptable, authentic and relevant to you and your group and event.

From how to balance being young mom with a growing business, to running travel agency from a hospital room, I've got tons of personal experiences to share. However, here are a few of my favorite topics that I love to address!

 

Exceptional Customer Service

The Power of Abundant Thinking

Creating a Winning Culture

Building a Winning Team

Automation + Personalization

Leveraging Supplier Relationships

“Credible, relatable, and an expert in her field…”

“When I think of why I would want someone to speak at my event, I think they must be three things, credible, relatable and lastly an expert in their field. When it comes to travel professionals, Christen Perry checks all those boxes. Christen is a highly successful travel agency owner and agent, a very likeable and real person and an expert in both how to run a travel company as well as a host agency. Christen Perry is the whole package and would be a great addition to any speaking roster and someone we have used and will continue to use at our events.”
