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 Nassau, Paradise Island and Cable Beach.
Chris Sund is a keynote speaker, bestselling author of You Are Capable of More, and a sitting executive: President and COO of Uniti Med and GQR Healthcare and COO of Nebula. He travels to Nassau and Paradise Island for destination conferences, leadership retreats and incentive trips, and handles his own travel.
The room has already been rewarded with the trip. The session has to earn its place on the agenda.
Big resorts, short flights.
Nassau is a short flight from the East Coast, and the large convention resorts on Paradise Island and Cable Beach host some of the biggest incentive programs and association meetings in the Caribbean.
Paradise Island
Large convention resorts for big incentive groups and association meetings.
Cable Beach
Resort campuses with conference centers for sales kickoffs and conventions.
Downtown Nassau

For other Caribbean and Mexico destinations, see destination events and the international speaking page.
Proven on the road, ready to travel.
Planners who book a speaker from another country want to know he shows up rested and ready in a room far from home. Chris is booked for a leadership keynote in Playa del Carmen in November 2026, and 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.

SalesYou Are Capable of More: Sales

How to fit a keynote into a resort agenda.
Destination programs run on a different clock than a hotel ballroom at home. These are the decisions that make the session land.
Morning General Session
Put the keynote in the morning, before excursions, golf or the beach 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 event materials, 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.
