For 30+ years, Chris has helped leaders and their organisations to be more successful in dynamic challenging environments. This has significant negative impacts on individual and organisational performance versus what could be delivered ;
– Individual performance down by up to 30%
– Organisational performance down by 23%
– Profits 10%+ under what’s possible
Research shows this affects around 85% of leaders and organisations — so there’s a strong chance it’s present in yours too, even if it’s not yet fully visible. The good news is that this can be quickly and simply overcome using Chris’s human – centric “Accelerate Your Success” system. In just one hour Chris’ keynote gives you the first proven steps to start the journey to beat it for greater success. This is specifically targeted to solve the fundamental problem – that unknown to most leaders they have not been given the critical leadership knowledge they need to optimise their and their organisations performance.
Here is how it works:
1. Chris will interweave your career experience, his experience, business examples, data and neuroscience to show you the massive untapped potential you have.
2. He will give you insights on how to use all of that to be more successful now and for the rest of your career.
3. That enables you leave with a personalised action plan to make it happen.
And it does work, Thierry Garnier, CEO Kingfisher Group, FTSE 100, said after hearing Chris speak “I found what you said really interesting so I took notes to see what action I can take,” Implementing what you have worked on with Chris could get you ½ a working day a week more time, 30% more effort from 60% of people, transforming performance in all areas, and put you and colleagues in the top 20% of leaders vs competitor peers for the rest of your career.

– High Performance Leadership
Most leaders are held back by having too much work and too little time — Chris helps solve this by teaching a proven, human-centric formula to boost leadership performance, team engagement, and results. With experience spanning the military, business, and government, he’s helped leaders worldwide unlock time, drive change, and join the top 20% of performers in their field.
-Maximise Employee Engagement
Employee engagement is the engine of organisational success, yet most leaders don’t fully understand how to unlock it. Chris gives leaders the insights and tools they need to build human-centric teams that perform at their best — driving real results in engagement, performance, and profit.
-Successful Culture & Change / Transformation in Uncertain Times
Delivering business as usual is tough enough — leading change on top of that can feel overwhelming. Chris helps leaders build the mindset and human-centric skills needed to lead effectively through uncertainty, turning change into opportunity. His work on major transformations at organisations like UBS, NHS, and London Underground has delivered lasting results and is now studied at Harvard.
-Human Leadership and AI
AI offers huge potential, but it’s only as effective as the people behind it. Chris helps leaders understand how to align AI with human intelligence, ensuring teams are engaged, skilled, and ready to implement it successfully. He’s even been invited to brief Chief Digital Officers on the people side of AI adoption — making sure the tech delivers real impact.
