The best keynote speeches are
inspiring, entertaining, and educational!

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The trick is to establish the right balance for your audience. I can guarantee entertainment: the stories, the Emmy Nominated HD footage, the timing and tone of my delivery will all have your audience on the edge of their seats.

Captivated by the obvious themes of team building, goal setting and values-driven action, I will open the minds of your audience. Then I will fill those minds with a data-driven, practical and personally relevant skill set.

My goal is to build better leaders, and it is the combination of opening and filling minds that allows me to deliver as promised.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DOWNLOAD ONE-SHEET” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ff7200″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fchrisbwarner.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F01%2FChris-Warner-One-Sheet-2012-2.pdf||target:%20_blank” el_class=”lead-button”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1450396993566{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Hiring

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The process of hiring me is simple!

It typically involves a few phone calls and emails. I want to learn about your organization’s mission and core values, the challenges your audience faces and your hopes for the future. I use that information to customize a workbook (which can be sent digitally to the audience after the speech). That information is also critical for me to connect with your audience.

I do not have an exclusive arrangement with any speaker’s bureau. If you are a speaker’s bureau or prefer to hire me through a bureau, I am more than happy to work within that system.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Schedule

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

My schedule can be tight.

I am the CEO of a rapidly expanding mid-sized company, spread between multiple locations, with 250 employees serving over 700,000 customers each year. I guide leadership development expeditions in North and South America, as well as Africa and Asia. I still lead personal expeditions to the Himalaya, some of which last for months. I am also a dad and husband, racing off to recitals and soccer games, family vacations and the hardware store. You’ll never know if I am available unless you ask. Shoot me an email or give me a call: 1-443-838-4221 (better yet, do both).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1450471156488{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-image: url(https://chrisbwarner.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/logistics3.jpg?id=719) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1450472338560{padding-right: 100px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”]

Logistics

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1450398360999{padding-right: 100px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”]Upon verbal agreement of dates, price, etc. I will prepare a one page “Speakers Agreement” for signing. A 50% deposit and the signed contract are required to guarantee the booking.

Travel and printing expenses will be billed separately. Lodging is typically booked and paid by the event organizer.

If you require me to be at any pre or post-speech dinners, happy hours, etc. please let me know during the pre-contracting discussions.

My presentations involve audio and video (digital projectors, speakers, and screen). I run the show from my laptop (the HD video files are huge) and prefer to have the laptop placed on the podium on the stage.  A lavaliere microphone works best, as I have trouble standing still. I will need to test your AV system prior to speaking to be certain everything works properly. This test can be as short as 5 minutes, depending on the workload of the AV staff.

In the case of workshops, I will also need two flip charts and markers.

You are welcome to film my presentations, take photos, etc. and you may use these for promotional and educational purposes. I request a copy of the video and some photos.

Head shots, bios, and keynote or workshop descriptions will be provided. Any other request for promotional activities (podcasts, video clips, conference calls, etc.) will be accommodated as my schedule allows.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
