Discovering your ‘why’ and using it to change the world

Christina Martin

To everyone else on the outside, Christina’s childhood and early adulthood looked pretty normal. But on the inside, from the time she was little, she battled Type 1 diabetes, feeling very alone and misunderstood, and at times, hopeless about achieving our societal standards of success. Today, Christina is an American Ninja Warrior, Executive Director of Type Zero Foundation, and motivational speaker. She’s learned through some of the most difficult challenges that success, connection, and fulfillment are always possible, the path just might look different than what we originally may think.

The Trust Gap

  • Team to Client/Patient trust gap

  • Team Synergy & Collaboration

  • Culture

  • Fulfillment

In this talk, Christina helps teams connect better with each other and the people they serve. For company teams and healthcare teams, she creates a deeper understanding of the human experience from patient to HCP, dissects how teams can develop more effective strategies as a leaders, and helps them understand their own ‘whys’ so that they feel more fulfilled at work.

Christina’s Most Requested Talks

The Happiness Minority

  • Leadership

  • Goal Setting & Action Taking

  • Mental Resilience

  • Motivation


The biggest minority group isn’t actually what we think. The biggest minority group we have is people who are actually, whole heartedly, happy with what they do every day and inspire others to do the same. In this talk, Christina helps each person become the “frequent-flyer” for their success so that as a community, we can begin turning the happiness minority into the happiness majority.
