THE RIPPLE EFFECT THINKER: A Framework for Scaling Trust, Connection and Leadership at Every Level

In a world where disconnection, mistrust, and stagnation are widespread, the biggest problem isn’t a lack of effort—it’s a lack of awareness of how much impact each person can have. Too often, individuals underestimate the ripple effects of their choices, focusing only on immediate outcomes. But what if the way you show up in a single moment could change everything—for your team, your organization, or even the next generation? This keynote flips that perspective, offering a powerful framework for amplifying the impact of everyday actions. Through surprising stories, actionable insights, and practical tools, audiences will learn how to unlock the potential of their seemingly small decisions to create ripples of trust, collaboration, and growth across their organizations, teams, and communities. In this powerful, thought-provoking and inspiring talk, attendees will be able to immediately implement proven strategies to: *Recognize Your Hidden Power to Create Change: Discover how even the smallest, most overlooked actions can spark waves of trust, connection, and innovation that transform teams, organizations, and communities. *Become a Catalyst for Positive Momentum: Unlock strategies to amplify the ripple effect of your actions, inspiring others to do the same and creating a chain reaction of growth and collaboration. *Take Agency Over Your Impact: Expand your thinking from focusing on immediate tasks to embracing the far-reaching influence of your decisions, empowering you to leave a lasting legacy in any area of your life.

FROM SILOS TO SYNERGY: The Secret to Building High-Trust Teams in a Low-Trust World

Trust is at an all-time low in workplaces, but rebuilding it doesn’t require sweeping changes or elaborate programs. It starts with simple, consistent actions that demonstrate respect, curiosity, and empathy. What if the key to transforming your team wasn’t a big initiative, but small, intentional ripples that build trust, one moment at a time? This keynote challenges the myth that trust is built only through grand gestures, focusing instead on the small, daily choices that create safety and connection. From the way we communicate in meetings to how we handle conflict, every action sends a signal to our teams.

One Person Can Shift the Momentum: The Power of Ripple Effect Moments at Scale

"Our organization brought Chris to speak to a group of our largest clients and prospects and his session was phenomenal. Not only did Chris grab the attention of the audience from the very beginning, his presentation was interactive, impactful and one of the most authentic presentations we have had at our seminar. His message was very engaging but more importantly relevant and different from some of the same messages we have heard before. His approach to creating a ripple effect within your organization and with your center of connections is one that will go beyond just the time he spent with everyone in attendance. We would be thrilled to bring Chris back to future events." -Matt Shemwell, President at Marsh McLennan Agency "Recently I had the privilege to see Chris present at our 4th DEI for Pharma & Healthcare conference this past March. His keynote presentation to lead off the conference was insightful, compelling and truly inspiring. He is a great storyteller and has great counsel on leadership principles and their "ripple effects". I understood his messaging and stayed engaged throughout his presentation. He also was understanding, flexible and supportive throughout our conference collaboration together. Highly recommend working with Chris!" -Ethan Denkensohn, COO at Dynamic Global Events “I have goosebumps knowing that almost 900 of our employees from across the world just heard your message.” -Kevin La Salle, DEI Leader at AXA XL "I left your keynote both wiser and inspired. Your pairing of passion and vulnerability, wrapped around your personal story, made for a very powerful leadership lesson and example." -Mike Slessor, CEO at FormFactor, Inc.
