The shortest long-haul you can book.
Canada is the most straightforward international engagement to arrange from the United States. Direct connections, no visa requirement for a US citizen speaking at a conference, and a shared business culture that means the material lands without translation or heavy localisation.
Chris speaks to Canadian audiences the way he speaks to American ones, from the operator’s side of the desk. He runs the companies, makes the hiring decisions, and lives with the consequences. Canadian leaders in healthcare, sales, and association management are working the same problems with a different rulebook, and the belief underneath the message does not change at the border.
Easy Logistics
Direct connections from Chicago, Denver, and Minneapolis to every major Canadian gateway. Passport only, no visa needed.
Same Business Culture
No interpretation, no localisation of examples. The room follows the material from the first minute.
Operator Credibility
Bestselling author, President and COO of national healthcare organizations, Inc. 5000 number three in the Midwest.

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 copies can ship to a Canadian venue ahead of your event so they are waiting on site.
Booking from Canada.
- Travel originates from Omaha, Nebraska, with connections through Chicago, Denver, or Minneapolis to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal.
- A US citizen speaking at a Canadian conference travels on a passport. No visa is required, and Chris handles his own documentation.
- Travel, accommodation, and ground costs are quoted separately from the speaking fee so your budget line is clear.
- Fees are quoted in US dollars unless you ask otherwise. Every event is quoted directly.
- If a second engagement sits nearby in the same week, say so early. A single trip covering two events improves the economics for everyone.
