Sick Girl Speaks, Inc. 

Tiffany Christensen is the CEO of Sick Girl Speaks, Inc. She was born with cystic fibrosis and has received two life-saving double lung transplants.  Today she is a national public speaker, the author of “Sick Girl Speaks!” and “We are the Change: Transforming the Healthcare Experience through Partnership.” 

Since 2007, Tiffany has opened her heart and shared her story as a vehicle to ushering in the new age of patient empowerment. Our healthcare culture is shifting and, with this, comes opportunities and challenges. Tiffany combines her extensive experience as a patient with her training as a TeamSTEPPS Master Trainer, Certified Respecting Choices Advance Care Planning Instructor and APPEAL Certified Trainee to captivate her audiences with new and concrete strategies for navigating the healthcare maze. Her background as an actress only serves to ensure her presentations are as entertaining as they are innovative. 

In 2007, Tiffany combined her efforts with that of Project Compassion to develop and create a curriculum for professionals, students, patients and families focused on patient advocacy skills, advance care planning conversation strategies and organ/eye/tissue donation education.  In 2010,Tiffany launched a Train the Trainer 1.5 day training which now enables others to share this unique and powerful information within their community. 

Tiffany travels throughout the U.S. to present her workshops and lectures on patient safety, advocacy, advance care planning, donation, pediatric illness, and "Life in the Deathbed". Please see her schedule for any upcoming events in your area. Please contact us today to discuss fees and availabilities for your needs. 

This is a rare kind of author and speaker: one that comes from a place of experience rather than theory. Please check out Tiffany's blog for a more personal account of her life.

I learned so much from her; I feel so fortunate to have been here. 

I think that the presentation was AMAZING and even though advance care planning is something I do almost daily, I learned a lot of information.

Tiffany is fantastic!  She keeps things moving and interesting; the audience was captivated.

Tiffany was inspiring, motivating, interesting and very hilarious! 

Probably the best lecture we’ve ever had in med school.

Thank you for your presentation today.  It was a life-changing experience for me personally and professionally.

Tiffany has found her “purpose”.  I found this presentation one of the most powerful ever!!
