Women who own businesses and work in the business space aren’t just symbols of strength and independence. They are evidence of greater gender equality in the professional world. When it comes to support for businesswomen, it’s important to seek out companies with the mission of helping female entrepreneurs – or seek out companies being run by women.

Meet Christina Pilarski, founder and CEO of CIPR Communications, a strategic communications firm specializing in public relations, digital communications, and training.

Christina believes in the power of meaningful relationships and strategic engagement both online and offline; her passion surrounding engagement has solidified her role as a leader within the communications industry.

Through public relations, communications, marketing, and stakeholder relations – strategy and execution, Christina and her team work closely with Canadian Business Chicks.

A daily routine of self-care is important for Christina. “Every morning and evening, I write a Five-Minute Journal entry. If you don’t have one of these, get one,” she said, adding, “I also really guard my time and set realistic timelines for myself, my clients, and my family,” said the mother of twin boys.

Christina’s number one goal is to build a team as passionate about communicating and engaging as she is. “I want to be a leader that empowers and gives my team as much room as they need to perform and drive towards success, and I want to be one of the first names companies think of when they think about engaging a firm to help them with their communications needs.”

A short-term business goal for Christina in 2018 is to triple revenue. CIPR is well on its way and that is in part due to connections made through organizations they believe in – like Canadian Business Chicks.

Thank you so much for everything, Christina!
