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.
