Chris Tuff Speaker Profile: At A Glance
Chris Tuff, a high-energy keynote speaker, bestselling author, and expert in workplace connection, tackles these pressing issues head-on. With humor, captivating storytelling, and actionable insights, Chris demonstrates how authentic connection accelerates business growth, recruitment, and retention. He empowers leaders to transform company culture, fostering employee fulfillment and supercharging productivity and profits.
Chris Tuff is a bestselling author and highly sought after keynote speaker who has presented for Nike, Home Depot, Verizon, and several other Fortune 100 companies. He began his career as a pioneer of the social media marketing space, becoming one of the first marketers to work directly with Facebook on advertising.
His first book, The Millennial Whisperer, is a USA Today bestseller that explores the importance of empathy and relationships in the workplace, and it equips leaders with tools to attract and retain young talent through genuine connection. A global movement soon followed as Tuff shared lessons on empathy and genuine connection at work on some of the largest stages in the world.
In the interests of making a more immediate impact on ROI, Chris shifted his message to include genuine connections outside of the office, which resulted in publishing his most recent book, Save Your Asks. The book shares interviews and stories from some of the world’s greatest leaders and entrepreneurs about using authenticity and connection to become better salespeople and networkers through a focus on authenticity and connection. In this book, he highlights real-world examples of “ask-holes” and such sales techniques as “shawshanking”.
He is a graduate from Vanderbilt University and lives in Atlanta with his wife and two daughters. He loves kiteboarding, travel and Air Jordans.
