The 2022 Colorado Women's Day Conference

was Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, March 9, 10 and 11, 2022

Courtney Knapp, Co-Owner CoCreative Coaching LLC

Courtney was our Keynote Speaker during the awards presentation on Friday, March 11.

Courtney’s coaching focuses on presentation delivery and message development. She coaches clients to clarify their main objective, hone their message, and align the elements of their presentation to achieve their goal. By coaching clients toward empathy of an audience’s point of view, clients learn to connect with and inspire their audience. Courtney embodies a strength-based coaching philosophy encouraging clients to bring their uniqueness to their presentations.

Working with political leaders, candidates, and business executives, Courtney coaches her clients to be authentic, identify their values and vision, and inspire their audience to action. As a yoga teacher and practitioner, she understands the tools to achieve Presence; to regulate self to impact an audience. Whether preparing media interviews, presentations, or panel discussions, Courtney empowers speakers to harness their physical and spatial presence along with their message, command the room and ultimately connect with their listeners.
