My message is deeply relatable, actionable, and proven – by myself and my clients. And it’s changing lives around the world. Whether you want to educate (and entertain) 1,000 people in a town hall or a dozen senior executives in the boardroom… I’ll not only inspire your audience to change. I’ll also teach them HOW to do it while proving everything I say with the latest science. If you are interested in learning more, we would love to speak to you.

Learn the key skill of every high-energy person – Strategic Performance Recovery.
I DELIVER SCIENCE-BACKED PERFORMANCE STRATEGIES
Science shows: the linear approach (hard work only, no recovery) leads to growth in the beginning, but finally to stagnation and drops in performance. In contrast, the Performance Oscillation approach with built-in recovery strategies leads to a healthy stress-rest-elasticity, continuous sustained growth and peak performance. Ignoring recovery strategies leads to a huge waste of potential and keeps you from thriving in business and life.
FOR LIFE-CHANGING RESULTS
What stops you from changing? What nudge do you need to “really understand”?

Chris delivers a tailored message based on personal experience and backed by science that helped thousands to perform better.

Understandable and hands-on. Enriched with real-life stories and case studies, he gives the nudges and insight bursts that people need to thrive and leaves your audience energized, motivated and empowered. All with actionable tools and strategies they can use right away.
