He has spoken in 34 states and reaches thousands of high school and middle school students a year.

Chris speaks to audiences about the power they have to take risks and to have confidence in themselves. He uses humor to build camaraderie with students so he can encourage them to overcome their fear of failure and fear of what others may think of them. He emphasizes positive ways of dealing with frustration and conflict resolution. Audiences find themselves laughing along as he tells his own personal stories to get his points across. His presentations are dynamic and his enthusiasm is contagious.

Chris has two types of presentations:

Full School Assembly/Conference Keynote: This one hour presentation is packed with humor and learning. Chris's easy interactive style will have even the most generally uninterested student glued to his seat.

Leadership Workshop: This is a one to three hour opportunity for students that have already shown some leadership potential. Chris will mold them into an effective team that can go back to school and make a difference. It's great kickoff to the year for a student council or any leadership team and also works well as a workshop at a conference.
