A Keynote Worth Leaving the Beach For.
Leadership, team and sales keynotes for association conferences, corporate retreats, incentive trips and President’s Club programs in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum.
Chris Sund is a keynote speaker, bestselling author of You Are Capable of More, and President and COO of Uniti Med and GQR Healthcare and COO of Nebula. He travels to Cancun and the Riviera Maya for destination conferences, leadership retreats and incentive trips, and he handles his own travel. Chris is booked to speak for Spring Living Retirement Communities in Playa del Carmen in November 2026.
The room has already been rewarded with the trip. The session has to earn its place on the agenda.
Where North American groups take their people.
Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum are among the most popular destinations for association conferences, corporate retreats, incentive trips and President’s Club programs. Cancun International Airport is the gateway, and the coast south of it is built around resort properties that host groups every week of the year.
Cancun
The hotel zone and the larger convention-capable resorts. Association meetings, sales kickoffs and big incentive groups.
Playa del Carmen
The middle of the Riviera Maya, with all-inclusive properties suited to leadership retreats and company meetings. Where Chris is booked for Spring Living Retirement Communities in November 2026.
Tulum
Smaller, quieter properties that suit executive offsites, board retreats and top-performer trips.
Also serving Puerto Morelos, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres and the rest of Quintana Roo. For the rest of the country, see Keynote Speaker in Mexico.
Booked here, proven on the road.
Chris is booked to speak for Spring Living Retirement Communities in Playa del Carmen in November 2026. Planners who book a destination event want to know the speaker shows up rested and ready in a room far from home. This is his travel record.

Every program runs from the principles of the bestselling book and is customized to the group. Choose the length that fits the agenda.
- Keynote. A general session that opens or closes the program, usually forty-five to sixty minutes.
- Half day. A keynote followed by a working session, which suits leadership retreats where the group needs to leave with decisions.
- Full day. For executive teams and boards that are using the trip to plan the year.
- Travel handled. Chris books and manages his own travel and documentation, arrives a day ahead, and needs a microphone and a screen.
You Are Capable of More
The flagship keynote behind the book, on closing the gap between what people do and what they are capable of.
TeamsYour Team Is Capable of More
For leadership retreats and team offsites, built around a standard the team writes together.
CultureThe Power of Small Moments
How everyday interactions build the culture people stay for.
SalesYou Are Capable of More: Sales
For incentive trips and President’s Club, built on the LOCKS deal framework and the LAARC method for objections.
How to fit a keynote into a resort agenda.
Destination programs run on a different clock than a hotel ballroom in your home city. These are the decisions that make the session land.
Morning General Session
Put the keynote in the morning, before excursions, golf or the pool take the room. Energy and attendance are highest then.
Not on Arrival Day
Travel days are long. The first full morning gets a better room than the evening people land.
One Business Session
Many trips have a single working session. Chris keeps it tight so the rest of the day stays free.
Books in the Room
Signed copies ship ahead with your freight, and a signing follows the keynote. See bulk book orders.
Details your committee will ask for.
Every seat can leave with it.
A signed book is a gift people carry home from a trip, and it keeps the session going after the flight.
You Are Capable of More: A No-Excuses Guide to Becoming Your Best Self. A bestseller from Game Changer Publishing and the 2026 Paris Book Festival winner in the How-To category.
Ten principles for closing the gap between what people are doing and what they are capable of. For a destination program, copies ship with the rest of the event materials so they are waiting in the room.
