Biography
Chris unleashes the potential hidden within his audiences experiences in a way which focuses their action on the specific objective the organisation wants – from high performance to better customer service, from innovation to operational risk management.
But above all it’s simple, practical and resonates so it works.
“I have read books and listened to talks on leadership over many years but without doubt yours was the most inspirational and sensible approach that gave absolute clarity.”
Col Helen Singh – Senior UK National Health Service Leader and Commanding Officer, 254 Reserve Hospital, British Army. Veteran of service in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It works because Chris, in his roles developing leaders performance, eg Global Head of Leadership for UBS, has used hundreds of speakers to help achieve success, both internal and some high profile external.
He’s seen them, heard audience feedback, assessed them, studied how behavioural change works and neuroscience to learn what speakers need to do to inspire an audience, but then to go and take exactly the action thats needed.
Now he applies all that expertise to his own speaking. That’s how his speaking always delivers the impact required.
