The retreat market that keeps taking share.
Costa Rica has become the default for companies that have already done Mexico and the Caribbean and want something that feels different. Guanacaste and the Central Valley are full of properties built for executive groups, the flights are short, and the country sells an experience that leadership teams actually talk about afterwards.
It also tends to attract a particular kind of programme. Groups that come here are usually doing real work, not just rewarding people, which means the session is on the agenda because someone wants an outcome from it. Chris speaks to that from the operator’s side of the desk, and the material is built to be used the next morning rather than admired and forgotten.
Working Retreats
Groups that come to Costa Rica usually have an agenda, which makes a keynote plus workshop format land better than a single session.
Short Flights
Direct and one stop connections to Liberia and San Jose from Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Atlanta.
Operator Credibility
Bestselling author, President and COO of national healthcare organizations, Inc. 5000 number three in the Midwest.

Available across the country for corporate retreats, leadership offsites, and conferences. These are the areas planners ask about most.

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.
On a working retreat the book earns its place as a day one gift, with the next morning’s workshop built around the principles inside it. Bulk orders and signed copies are available.
Booking an event in Costa Rica.
- Travel originates from Omaha, Nebraska, connecting through Houston, Dallas, Miami, or Atlanta to Liberia and San Jose.
- A US citizen speaking at a corporate event travels on a passport. Chris handles his own documentation.
- Chris arrives at least one full day ahead so travel never shows up on your stage.
- Travel, accommodation, and ground costs are quoted separately from the speaking fee so your budget line is clear.
- Liberia is the closer airport for Guanacaste and Papagayo. San Jose suits the Central Valley and Arenal.
