Proof

Proven with audiences across the region.

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, and the campus shapes the city’s event calendar: athletics, staff development, alumni events and the regional conferences that use its arena and meeting space. Chris speaks to leaders in every one of those rooms, and to the health systems and employers that make up the rest of the local economy.

“Chris would be an incredible addition to any live audience. I’ve seen him speak multiple times, including our Sales Kickoff in front of 800+ people, which he crushed.”

Jack Tiernan, Manager of Sales Training, Definitive Healthcare
