American work, done on the other side of the world.
The Philippines runs a very large share of the world’s business process, shared services, and healthcare support operations, much of it for United States companies. English is an official language and the working language of business, so a session needs no interpretation and no softening.
What those teams rarely get is a speaker from the parent company’s side of the business who treats them as the operation rather than the back office. Chris is a sitting executive who leads national healthcare organizations, and his message is that people are capable of more than they realize. In a market where the work is demanding and the recognition often lands somewhere else, that is a session with real weight.
English Speaking
An official language and the working language of business. No interpretation, no localisation of the material.
Speaks the Parent Company’s Language
A sitting executive who leads national healthcare organizations, addressing teams who support exactly that kind of business.
Large Rooms
Shared services and BPO organisations run big all hands and anniversary events, which suits a general session keynote.
Where Chris speaks in the Philippines.
Available across the country for corporate conferences, leadership programmes, and team summits. These are the markets planners ask about most.
Manila, Makati, and Bonifacio Global City carry most of the corporate business, with Cebu and Clark close behind. Tagaytay and Boracay come up for leadership offsites and reward programmes.
Events Chris travels to the Philippines for.
Corporate Conferences
All hands events, anniversary celebrations, and general sessions for shared services and BPO organisations.

Team lead and management development sessions, built for interaction rather than a large room.
Sales and Service Kickoffs
Annual kickoffs built around consistency, resilience, and performance under pressure.
Virtual Across Time Zones

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.
Bulk orders and signed copies are available. For Philippine events copies are best sourced regionally and delivered to the venue, which avoids freight cost and customs delay.
Booking an event in the Philippines.
- Travel originates from Omaha, Nebraska, connecting through Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Tokyo to Manila and Cebu.
- Chris arrives at least two full days ahead so the time difference never shows up on your stage.
- Entry requirements and any speaker documentation are handled by Chris once the booking is confirmed.
- Travel, accommodation, and ground costs are quoted separately from the speaking fee so your budget line is clear.
- Given the distance, a single trip covering two engagements makes far better economics. A Manila and Cebu pairing in the same week works well.
