Why International Audiences

The message travels.

People everywhere are capable of more than they realize. That belief does not need translation, and it does not depend on local employment law or regional data to make sense. Whether the room is in Toronto, London, or Sydney, the questions are the same. How do I get more out of myself. How do I get more out of the people I lead.

Chris speaks to that from the operator's side of the desk. He is not a consultant describing the problem from outside it. He runs the companies, makes the hiring decisions, and lives with the consequences, which is what makes the material land with audiences who have heard the theory already.

Universal Material

Potential, leadership, sales performance, teams, and culture translate across markets without needing local case law or regional data to make sense.

Operator Credibility

Bestselling author, President and COO of national healthcare organizations, Inc. 5000 number three in the Midwest, and twelvefold revenue growth in two years.

Delivered in English

Sessions are delivered in English and work well with simultaneous interpretation. Slides and handouts can be supplied in advance for translation.

Formats

Events Chris travels for.

International Conferences

Association congresses, healthcare and workforce summits, and industry conferences where a general session keynote opens or closes the programme.

Corporate Retreats and Global Meetings

Annual meetings, leadership offsites, sales kickoffs, and destination retreats for multinational employers.

Leadership Workshops

Maxwell Leadership certified workshops built for management teams rather than large rooms, in ninety minute or half day formats.

Virtual Across Time Zones

Where travel budget or scheduling does not allow a flight, Chris regularly delivers virtual keynotes and webinars and will work to your time zone.

How It Works

Booking from outside the United States.

  • Travel originates from Omaha, Nebraska, with connections through Chicago, Dallas, or Denver to most international gateways.
  • For long-haul engagements Chris asks for arrival at least one full day ahead of the session, so jet lag never shows up on your stage.
  • Travel, accommodation, and visa or documentation costs are quoted separately from the speaking fee so your budget line is clear.
  • Where it makes sense, a single trip can cover more than one engagement. If you know of a neighbouring conference or a second site visit, say so early and the economics improve for everyone.
  • Slides can be supplied ahead of time for translation, and Chris will adjust examples so references land with a non-American audience.

Questions

International booking FAQ

Does Chris travel internationally?
Yes. Chris speaks nationwide across the United States and travels internationally for conferences, corporate meetings, and leadership programmes. Send your date and location through the contact form and you will have an answer within one business day.
What language does Chris present in?
Sessions are delivered in English. The material works well with simultaneous interpretation, and slides and handouts can be provided in advance so your team has time to translate them.
How are travel costs handled?
Travel, accommodation, and any visa or documentation costs are quoted separately from the speaking fee so the budget is transparent. Chris travels from Omaha, Nebraska.
Can Chris deliver virtually instead?
Yes, and for many international organisations this is the practical starting point. Chris has delivered virtual sessions and webinars for national associations and will schedule to your time zone. See past webinars.
How far in advance should we book?
Six to nine months is comfortable for an international congress, mostly because of travel planning rather than availability. Shorter timelines are often workable, so ask rather than assuming.
What topics does Chris speak on?
Personal potential, leadership, sales performance, team performance, and culture, all drawn from running national healthcare organizations and from his bestselling book You Are Capable of More. See all speaking programs.

The Book

Every seat can leave with it.

You Are Capable of More by Chris Sund

You Are Capable of More: A No-Excuses Guide to Becoming Your Best Self is the bestselling book behind the signature keynote, published by Game Changer Publishing with a foreword by Ben Newman.

A direct wake-up call to stop settling for less and start taking ownership of your life. Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and actionable frameworks, Chris exposes how excuses, fear, self-doubt, and the trap of comfort quietly sabotage your potential. This is not a book about becoming perfect. It is a blueprint for becoming better.

Bulk orders and signed copies are available, and international shipping can be arranged ahead of your event so copies are waiting on site.
