Biography

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, including such Fortune 100 companies as Nike.

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.

In 2021, Tuff shifted toward connections outside of organizations in writing his latest book, Save Your Asks. He’s interviewed some of the world’s greatest leaders and entrepreneurs and is publishing this handbook to equip everyone with the tools 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.

"I spent a career building professional success because I was taught that was what you needed to do before you could pursue the personal fulfillment that you really wanted. Chris showed me that you could actually bring the two together and that the glue is authentic human connection. In the year since I first heard Chris speak and walk through what that process looks like, my professional life and personal life have grown in ways I could have never expected. The ROI is virtually incalculable." Tim Carrol, Microsoft

"Chris puts on a show, captivating participants with a pragmatic and simple approach to learning from real life/work situations. At the end, the take home value is delivered into a framework that is actionable for driving business. This is not a ‘sit and listen’ type of event; it will get you thinking, taking notes, and wanting to go back to your world and start executing!" Luciano Macagno, Managing Director, Latin America, Caribbean And South Florida At Delta Air Lines

"Save your asks not only shares a proven method for identifying and pursuing passion but also walks you through the steps it takes to naturally build strong connections." Lydia Fenet, Global Managing Director, Strategic Partnerships And Lead Benefit Auctioneer, Chrstie's Auction House

"After working with Chris, I was able to merge my purpose and passions to work. My next review was the best of my career." Brad Kehm, Director of Sales, Nike

"Chris’s presentation to our global team at Meta was inspiring and timely. Chris brings a high level of energy and passion to the room. His message about human connection and building authentic relationships really resonated with our business leaders." JD Doughney IV, Global Client Lead – Meta
