One Keynote. A Book in Every Hand.
Chris Sund is a keynote speaker and the bestselling author of You Are Capable of More, and he can bring the book with him. For local engagements, his standard includes up to 250 copies, so every attendee leaves with one. He stays afterward to sign, and larger groups get volume pricing on additional copies. The talk ends. The book goes home.
How the Book Package Works
The simplest version: Chris speaks, everyone leaves holding the book, and the line for signatures forms before the room empties. Here is how it is set up.
Local Events: Books Included
For local engagements, Chris’s standard includes up to 250 copies of You Are Capable of More. In a room that size, every attendee leaves with one.
Larger Groups
If your audience runs past 250, there is volume pricing on the additional copies, so the whole room is covered rather than the first few rows.
Events Outside the Area
Books are available at bulk pricing and quoted with the keynote. See bulk book orders for formats and signed copies.
A Signing After the Session
Chris stays afterward to sign. It is where people say the thing they would never raise a hand to say in front of the room.
Why a Book Extends the Keynote
A keynote can land three or four ideas well. Then people walk back to their desks, their inboxes and their week, and most of what they heard fades by Friday. A book in their hands changes that, because the ideas leave the room with them.
The keynote runs on the same ten principles as the book, in the same order. So the copy each person carries out is not a souvenir. It is the rest of the talk, with the stories and the exercises that make each idea usable, waiting on a desk or a nightstand for the morning they decide to act on it.
- The ideas go home with people instead of staying in the ballroom
- Every attendee gets all ten principles, not just the ones that fit in an hour
- A signed copy gets kept, long after the lanyard is thrown out
- Teams share a vocabulary, because everyone read the same book
- The free book discussion guide turns it into a team read
- A visible, easy sponsorship for a partner who wants their name on something people keep
How It Runs on the Day
Chris works to your schedule. This is the shape most planners land on.
Copies on Every Seat
Books go on the chairs or into the welcome bags, so people walk in already holding what they are about to hear.
The Keynote
A keynote, breakout, or half-day or full-day workshop, built on the ten principles in the book and shaped to your audience.
The Signing
Chris stays afterward and signs. Plan a table near the exit so the line does not block the next session.
The Team Read
Leaders use the discussion guide to work through the book together, so the event keeps paying off.
The Package at a Glance
No surprises for your finance team. Fees are quoted with your date and location, never on a page.
Proof: The Room Went Home With the Book
Chris closed the MICA 2026 Fall Business Meetings in Omaha for the Midwest Insulation Contractors Association with Take Back Your Time with AI, and every attendee left with a copy of his book. He has also spoken at the Crawford County Memorial Hospital Patient Experience Recognition Dinner and led the Greater Omaha Chamber Leadership Exchange workshop.
Chris was an outstanding speaker and a highlight of our 2025 Patient Experience Recognition Dinner. He took the time to deeply understand our organization, our culture, and our specific goals — and thoughtfully personalized his presentation. His message resonated across all roles. Our staff genuinely loved his delivery. We could not recommend him highly enough.
At our Leadership Exchange workshop, Chris was able to energize the room, spark conversations, and encourage connections throughout the event. Attendees spoke of how impactful their conversations were, reinforcing just how powerful these moments of connection can be. We are incredibly grateful for Chris and the lasting impact he is making on our community’s future leaders.
Chris Sund’s speaking engagements are truly powerful. His engaging style draws the audience into the conversation, creating a relaxed atmosphere that encourages learning and reflection. You leave not only inspired but equipped with practical leadership insights you’re eager to implement. Chris is a thoughtful, intentional leader who uses his influence to positively impact everyone he encounters.

What Planners Ask About the Books
Does Chris include books with a keynote?
Yes. For local engagements, his standard includes up to 250 copies of You Are Capable of More, so every attendee in a room that size leaves with one. For larger groups there is volume pricing on additional copies, and he stays after the session to sign.
What if our event is not local?
Books are still available, at bulk pricing. Tell Chris your headcount and he will quote the books alongside the keynote. See bulk book orders for formats and signed copies.
Will Chris sign the books?
Yes. He stays after the session to sign, so people can bring their copy up, say hello and ask the question they did not want to ask in front of the room. If you would rather run a full author event, see author talks and signings.
Can we use the book for a team read after the event?
Yes. The free book discussion guide lays out a team read with questions for every theme, so the keynote becomes the first session of a longer conversation.
Which session formats can include books?
Any of them. Chris delivers keynotes, breakouts, and half-day or full-day workshops, and the books work with each one. For the full author program, see the author speaker page.
You Are Capable of More
An Amazon bestseller from Game Changer Publishing, with a foreword by Ben Newman, and the winner of the How-To category at the 2026 Paris Book Festival. Ten chapters, ten principles, and a closing Playbook built for action rather than a conclusion.
It is written for the person who already knows they want more. That makes it the right thing to put in someone’s hands at the end of a keynote, when they have just decided to go after it.
An Author Who Still Runs the Companies
Chris is the bestselling, award-winning author of You Are Capable of More, an Amazon Bestseller and the winner of the How-To category at the 2026 Paris Book Festival. He is President & COO of Uniti Med and GQR Healthcare and COO of Nebula, and he helped grow Uniti Med 10x in revenue in two years, earning #3 on the Inc. Regionals list of the fastest-growing companies in the Midwest.
The cultures he has built have earned Fortune Best Workplaces and Best Places to Work recognition across multiple programs. He writes for Forbes and Inc., and audiences have seen him on WOWT, 10/11, WFLA’s Bloom, KXAN’s Studio 512, KCTV5, WOI and Dakota News Now.
