Chris is an experienced corporate trainer who taught CEOs, Sales Teams, and anyone else who would listen about the ins and outs of good workplace communication. Five years ago, she discovered that her passion was really with a much different audience teaching a much different topic (actually, not so much a topic as a lifestyle). She now teaches nature classes and yoga to preschoolers – yes, the 2- to 6-year old set.  Environmental Education and sustainability are the core of her work now and she's excited about sharing with you what she's learned from preschoolers!
