Biography

For 30+ years, Chris has been helping leaders like you and their organisations stop underachieving and stressing under the pressure of too much work and too little time to achieve more.

To overcome challenges, inspire everyone to give their best, work together to be even more successful.
This didn’t start in a corporate world, but rather as an officer in the British Army. Leading a team in dangerous high-pressure environments he learned quickly that success is about how you use time optimally, get the best from people, focus on excellence.

This elite training enabled him to help senior leaders become successful high performers at HSBC Investment Bank as Head of Management Development, at UBS as Global Head of Leadership, at London Underground as Head of Culture Change, at KPMG, and others. These experiences made him realise one thing:

Leaders everywhere face the same two problems:
• Too much work
• And not enough time

Overcoming these could get you 30% more effort from 60% of people, transforming performance in all areas, and put you and colleagues in the top 20% of leaders vs competitor peers. If you don’t that’s what it could be costing you.
That’s why Chris developed his human-centric “Accelerate Your Success” system to help leaders achieve more 􈄥􎆸
Built on 20+ years of guiding and coaching top business leaders beat their challenges → With a proven framework that helps leaders get more time, more performance, more impact.

Here’s how it works:
1. He will interweave your career insights, his experience, business examples, data and neuroscience to show you actionable steps to achieve more.
2. He will uncover your hidden potential to use those to be more successful.
3. You leave with a personalised action plan to make it happen.

It works, Thierry Garnier, CEO Kingfisher Group, FTSE 100, said to Chris after hearing him speak “I found what you said really interesting so I took notes to see what action I can take,”

Chris keynotes will enable you to build High Performance Teams, Maximise Employee Engagement, Build a Culture of Success and deliver Change and Transformation to potentially get 10% on bottom line for free!

Chris has helped 24,000 + leaders across 27 countries achieve more – from Huawei, BASF, Tata, UK & UAE Prime Ministers Offices, Goldman Sachs and NHS to Red Cross, Reuters, Chinese Space Programme and many others.
And he has been named as one of HRs Most Influential Thinkers 10 times in annual awards, is BBCs “go to” business leadership expert and has been featured in Newsweek, FT, Wall St Journal, Business Week and other major publications.

So if you’re ready to make the leap from stressing to achieve more and succeeding, check Chris topics, and let him Accelerate Your Success !

Most of what is currently said about Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a general overview which doesn’t give real clarity on how, day-to-day, leaders can optimise their success via effective use of AI combined with the power of inspirational Human Leadership.

AI can make leaders more effective through data analysis, decision making and other areas but also key to delivering success is face to face human interactions in real time which AI is unlikely to replace.

This focuses specific actions which are critical for success : slick task delivery, getting the best from people and focusing that best onto what the organisation needs to achieve. These will enable them to be effective not just now but Future Fit for the rest of their careers.
By the end everyone will have an action plan on how, day to day, they can be High Performance Human Leaders integrating with AI on a day-to-day basis to Accelerate Success.
Entrepreneurial Leadership

The last few years COVID, Great resignation and economic instability have combined to create a perfect storm of uncertainty. Leaders and organisations who view this as an opportunity will flourish. It’s about leaders being able to scan the environment and identify opportunities, enable their people to do the same, then to implement so their organisations are more agile and successful.

Chris has worked with organisations at key uncertain points in their growth and is a leading expert in this field, eg his work at Global Head of Leadership and Talent at UBS on the first implementation of “entrepreneurial leadership” within a corporate environment, now part of the Harvard Case study.
Transformational Leadership

The one certainty is change. Success is about being ahead of the change curve by assessing the change needed, adapting to make it and accelerating ahead of the competition. Every leader must recognise the need for change, even in their own team, present an inspiring vision for change and get everyone behind making the change reality.

Chris expertise in this area is proven through many roles from Global Head of Leadership and Talent at UBS, now Harvard case study on creating a new global bank, to leading culture change on the restructuring of the London Underground and also as Honorary Visiting Professor of Transformational Leadership.
Inspirational Leadership

Inspiring everyone to give their best not only delivers high performance but it also grows talent. This is vital for the future of any organisation. Success in this based on using a set of simple principles and actions which leaders at all levels can implement to create a powerful talent generating system within a short time – simply a culture of growth and success. This enables more people to grow more quickly which then creates more high performers ready to become future talent.

Chris expertise in the world of talent development is exceptional through his various roles which have focused on this over 30 years at the highest levels, eg Global Head of Leadership & Talent at UBS, his book on strategic leadership development, the first on this critical subject, his mentoring programmes and his publications.
