Corporate Keynote Speaker

An Operator on Your Stage, Not a Full-Time Speaker

Chris Sund is President & COO of Uniti Med, GQR Healthcare, and Nebula. He speaks to corporate audiences about growth, culture, and untapped potential — from the seat, with numbers behind it: 10x revenue growth, Inc. Regionals #3 in the Midwest, and a Fortune Best Workplaces award.

What Your Company Walks Out With

Corporate audiences are experienced consumers of keynotes. They can tell within five minutes whether the person on stage has run anything. Chris opens with the operating reality your people recognize, then gives them the framework that produced results in a business that was growing faster than it was comfortable.

  • What 10x growth actually required — including the parts that nearly did not work
  • The five research-backed drivers behind an award-winning culture
  • Why the gap between current output and real capacity is bigger than most teams think
  • Original research: 92% believe they are capable of more than they are doing now
  • Practices leaders can run the week after your event, without budget

What Corporate Planners Ask

Will he customize for our business?

Yes. Chris asks what your leadership wants different after the event, then builds examples around your industry and your people. He does not deliver a stock keynote with your logo on slide one.

What size room does he work best in?

Both ends. He has opened a sales kickoff for 800+ and run working sessions with a leadership team of a dozen.

Can we add a breakout or workshop?

Yes, and it is usually the better value per travel day. Common pairings are a general-session keynote plus a manager workshop.

Is he comfortable with a mixed audience?

Yes. The material is behavioral, so individual contributors take away what they control and leaders take away what they can build.

The Book

You Are Capable of More

The bestselling book behind the keynotes — ten principles for closing the gap between what a team is producing and what it is actually capable of.

Companies regularly pair a keynote with copies for every attendee, which turns an hour on stage into something people keep on their desk. Bulk pricing and signed editions are available.

He Built It Before He Taught It

Chris took Uniti Med from startup to one of the largest healthcare staffing firms in the country — 10x revenue growth and #3 fastest-growing in the Midwest on the Inc. Regionals — while earning a Fortune Best Workplaces award and world-class employee NPS.

He is still in the seat. That is the difference your audience will notice: the examples are current, the mistakes are his own, and nothing in the session is theory he read about.

He is also a Maxwell Leadership Certified coach, a bestselling author, an Inc. contributor, a Forbes Business Council member, and VP of the NATHO board.
