John Cyprus, President/CEO | Ameritic
I lead a tough, seasoned group of hard-driving individuals. This translates into people who are extremely skeptical and partially closed-minded, especially when it comes to seminars. Your presentation was motivating, entertaining and fun, yet filled with powerful "tools" to use in our work and lives. Each person I've spoken with about your speech and breakout session was incredibly impressed with your powerful delivery and practical relevance. You broke through those barriers with your positive energy giving wisdom, leaving us with practical and effective tools to apply in the real world. Thank you for your outstanding speech and breakout session at the conference. I look forward to working with you in future conferences.
Chantal Niven, Executive Producer | Green Isle Films
I am always looking for ways to help keep myself and my team more focused, efficient and effective. Chris’ workshop was right on the money! His business experiences and personal life stories combined with the fun, practical exercises demonstrated how we can stay focused, be more resourceful and “squeeze” the most juice out of ourselves, our work and our lives. Chris’ speech and breakout group were truly inspiring, motivational and packed with real-life tools we can and will use in business as well as in our daily lives. I personally never realized how much power I have to affect change in myself and my life. I’m already a successful person, but now feel like I’ve only just begun and am excited about future growth potential. With the beliefs
Dylan Gittleman, Vice President | IBM
Thank you for your presentation and breakout session at the recent conference. Your command of the stage and message were moving, entertaining and useful. As you know Chris, both your persona and message resonate. I’ve heard many speakers in my life and very few can hold a candle to you and the vast majority fall far short of your skill and relevance. You are both show and substance, a rare combination. You’ll be happy to know that I am applying your tools and the results are FANTASTIC. I’m even more positive, focused and resourceful than I was prior to your seminar, which is an accomplishment, because I already had a strong mastery of those qualities. The results haven’t been limited to my work. Even my wife has noticed a positive change
Joanne Nall, President | Nall Associates
