Whatever your focus, whomever your audience, you want a speaker no one will forget:  Someone who inspires and informs, speaks to both head and heart, and leaves the feeling of real substance, not just sizzle.

Big expectations deserve big results.

“Rarely have I attended a program that has so strongly impacted me, both personally and professionally.”    ~ Lucy Pulitzer, Albany, NY

 

“It isn’t every day I attend a conference where I come away feeling empowered with information I can … put into practice in my everyday life, both at work and at home.  I loved it!”     ~ Carol Hendricken, Alberta, Canada

So what is the best course of action? Call Chris directly to chat about the unique hopes and expectations of your audience. Read what others say about Chris, call others who have heard Chris speak (Chris will be happy to provide a list) and watch Chris in action. You will know.

Keynotes can range from 30 minutes to two hours. While you can read about Chris’ keynote titles below, here is the reality of titles. They are just titles – and titles need to speak to your audience in the context of their current challenges and celebrations. The core content, philosophy – and speaker – remain constant.  So choose one of these or we can craft one just for you.

Want a break-out session too? Audiences love the “Yea, but…” session format.

Chris’ signature keynotes…

Loving Life: You CAN Get There from Here

Isn’t this what we all want? To wake up in the morning excited to be alive, aligned with what energizes you, and clear on what comes next? What holds you back, distracts you or knocks you off course? More importantly, how can you get tuned into your exquisite inner navigation system and re-aligned with who you are? Finding that sweet spot of knowing  – where everything feels possible – is what we are all after. Not only will you leave this keynote inspired and hopeful, you will have the tools to begin.

Note: What is exciting about this keynote is that we can tailor it directly to your audience:

• Loving Sales..
• Loving Education…
• Loving Management…

Miracles in the Midst: It takes just a minute to make a difference

In this empowering and poignant presentation, Chris uses stories and research to help each person understand the tremendous impact they can have on another, whether that be a child, life partner, co-worker or clerk at the grocery. You will leave with a deeper awareness of who has made a difference in your life and how choosing to focus on strengths can transform every interaction and relationship.

Got Strengths? So what’s stopping you?

In this highly interactive keynote, audience members have the opportunity to identify and explore their innate and acquired strengths and how these have been expressed in their lives. This adventure begins with a focus on how our perceptions determine our actions, then moves on to the identification of individual strengths and an exploration of what the results can mean to our work, collegial relationships, parenting and personal happiness. While self-awareness and learning are the focus, the tone is light, fun and interactive.

Breakout session…

Yea, but…

This follow-up to Chris’ keynote presentation is your opportunity to ask the hard questions that come with every change in perspective. “What do you do when…?” “What about people who…?” “I’ve tried that, but…!” Chris will respond with examples, stories and exercises to get down to the brass tacks of living from a strengths perspective. Chris will also share strategies to sustain this perspective even in the face of little support, challenging circumstances and too little time. This session is when the “aha’s” become concrete, “ah, yes, I see what to do now!“
