THE PROBLEM CHRIS SOLVES

Maybe then we wouldn’t have…

77%

of employees burned out

The majority of today’s workforce is running on empty — and leaders hold the key.

79%

disengaged at work

Nearly 8 in 10 employees are going through the motions. Culture and leadership change that.

88%

of leaders running low on EQ

The gap isn’t talent. It’s leadership, culture, and the moments that shape how people show up.

WHY ORGANIZATIONS TRUST CHRIS

Still in the Arena

Chris Sund is President and COO of Uniti Med, GQR Healthcare, and Nebula — three organizations at the intersection of healthcare staffing and AI-driven talent intelligence. He helped scale the platform from $5 million to over $60 million in revenue in two years, with annual performance now exceeding $100 million.

What sets Chris apart is not just the results — it’s that he’s still building. He leads at scale, in real time, navigating the same challenges his audiences face every day. His keynotes aren’t built on what used to work. They’re built on what’s working right now.

Chris serves on the Board of Directors of NATHO, contributes to NAHCR, and participates in the Greater Omaha Chamber’s CODE program for CEOs. He was recognized as a Midlands Business Journal 40 Under 40 honoree.

MAXWELL LEADERSHIP CERTIFIED

SMALL TOWN BEGINNINGS

Fremont, Nebraska — Then & Now

When people ask me where I’m from, they’re usually surprised when I answer, “Fremont, Nebraska.” I grew up in this small rural town, and it’s the town I still live in today with my amazing family.

Over the years, I witnessed firsthand how hard it can be to find a specialized healthcare worker in rural areas. Most of these facilities are some of the friendliest places you could work, but due to their location they struggle to find the help they need. I believe every patient deserves excellent care, no matter where they live.

This is what created my passion for healthcare staffing. For nearly a decade, I advanced from recruiter to client manager, to sales manager, to director — and now serve as President and COO across three organizations. These experiences shaped how I lead today and why my message resonates with organizations navigating growth, change, and workforce challenges.

CERTIFIED MAXWELL LEADERSHIP TEAM

A Lifelong Student of Leadership

Almost 20 years ago, I picked up a copy of John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. I was a young manager, eager to grow. That book created the spark that led to my passion for leadership development.

Fast forward to today, and I made the choice to become part of the Certified Maxwell Leadership Team as a speaker, trainer, and coach. It’s my mission to help others become the best version of themselves.

John Maxwell has been one of the world’s foremost leadership experts for more than 40 years. His principles are time-tested and world-renowned — and as a certified speaker, coach, and trainer, I bring those principles to life for every audience.

LIFE OUTSIDE THE STAGE

Let’s Start with the Fun Stuff

Life in our house is never boring. With three boys, there’s always a ballgame, a practice, or some sporting event to watch — and I love being in the stands cheering them on.

When we’re not hanging out with the boys, we like to stay active with bike rides, walks, and workouts. But my favorite place to be is on the water — boating, wake surfing, or really any excuse to get out in the sun.

My wife Courtney is a respiratory therapist and the real MVP at home. Together we’ve built a life that’s equal parts family, hard work, and making memories.

HELPING PEOPLE UNLOCK THEIR POTENTIAL

You Are Capable of More.

Chris is driven by a simple belief: people are capable of more than they realize. His mission is to help leaders and teams break through self-imposed limits, elevate their performance, and create meaningful impact in their work and lives.
