I personally also found your account of the challenges you faced and overcame, both from nature and human nature, inspiring and informative! Thanks again!” - The National Counter Terrorism Task Force

Entertainment

A great keynote speech has the audience on the edge of their seats. Chris specializes in multi-media presentations, recounting his most epic mountaineering expeditions to Everest and K2. The stories and imagery are riveting: with climbers falling through the air, being swept away by avalanches, plunging into icy crevasses, holding climbers as they breathe their last breaths, huddling on tiny ledges as blizzards rage, rescuing stranded partners and reaching wind swept summits. As an author and Emmy Nominated film maker, Chris uses his story telling skills and dramatic HD footage, to help the audience feel the pain, gasp at the scenery and marvel at the heroism of some while becoming angered by the narcissism of others.

Inspiration

The conflicts of good vs. evil, man vs. the improbable goal, selfishness vs. sacrifice, and more, are so powerfully illustrated that the audience “gets it” without being pandered to. The mountaineering expedition becomes a metaphor for the workplace, with the themes of passion, vision, partnership and perseverance inspiring all of us to perform at a higher level.

Education

Chris uses gripping stories to open the minds of the audience so the learning can begin. Now that he has the audience open to the need to grow, he makes the transference from the mountaineering challenge to the business challenge. A true strength of his keynote presentations is the ability to transfer the lessons of these extreme adventures to the challenges we all face. Unlike most adventurers on the speaking circuit, Chris was the founder and owner of a fast growth company, with nearly 1000 employees, serving more than 2,000,000 customers every year. Chris’ real life experiences as a successful entrepreneur, mountaineering guide and leadership educator provide the audience with practical solutions to everyday (and epic) problems

It would be an honor to share these amazing stories, and what they can teach all of us, with your team.
