Most people think our fight to succeed is external — market conditions, cultural shifts, fierce competition. But after three decades of training elite performers around the world, I’ve learned a simple truth:
It’s the moments you hesitate. The distractions that blind you. The doubts you don’t say out loud. I call them Rivals — and they show up for everyone, regardless of rank or resume.
For 30+ years, I’ve empowered leaders, sales professionals, and high-stakes organizations with the tools to meet these rivals head-on. The same principles I once taught elite warriors preparing for combat, I now teach businesses looking to hit the target when it counts, despite odds or circumstances.
It’s an honor to present this work with groups like yours, those willing to face their inner rivals and achieve new heights, without excuse or hesitation.
Each keynote is a high-impact experience built to shift perspective, spark action, and leave teams equipped to rise above their rivals.
Whether speaking to global executives, sales teams, or emerging leaders, Chris brings unmatched energy, real-world strategies, and an inspirational message that sticks.
Chris empowers leaders and sales professionals with a warrior mindset so they can achieve peak performance — regardless of what comes their way.
The Warrior Maker
As an accomplished black belt and U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Fame inductee, Chris has mastered and taught the art of discipline, focus, mindset, and self-motivation.
He’s trained thousands — from the U.S. military to its global allies — in close-quarters combat and mental toughness. That same warrior mindset now fuels every keynote he delivers, helping audiences prevail when the pressure is intense and the stakes are high: calm, ready, and without hesitation.
