As a leader, your actions, starting with your own state of being, affect how other people work on an individual basis and the systems in which they operate.

Chris goes beyond the typical “intellectual exercise” presentation style. He engages you in evaluating your own approach, uses clear analogies and mental models to help you see things differently, provides simple exercises to get you started, and inspires your wholehearted commitment to improve. His approach is simultaneously practical, comprehensive, and targeted for the “I-already-have-too-much-to-do” leader.

Whether you have a group of 20 or 2,000, if you want someone who will take the time to understand your needs, and customize a presentation to fully engage your group, let's talk about what would work best.  

From keynotes and breakout sessions, Chris can customize a presentation from 30 minutes to 4 hour sessions depending on your needs.
