Definitive Healthcare
Chris was the consummate professional with an excellent stage presence. Not only did he work with our change in scheduling, topics, and even how many speakers were onstage at the same time — but he did it with grace and tact. Chris resonated with the audience to the point I had many attendees come up to me and ask where we got him. I would recommend Chris for any speaking needs as he’s versatile, flexible, and professional.
Jack Tiernan
Manager of Sales Training, Definitive Healthcare
University of Kansas Health System
Chris consistently brings a wealth of knowledge, insight, and practical advice to every presentation. At our NAHCR Conference he led two impactful sessions, acknowledged the real challenges we face, and shared valuable strategies. His deep understanding of our audience and commitment to the profession elevate the value he brings to every engagement.

Chris, we truly appreciated the time and effort you put into creating a presentation tailored specifically to our staff. Your ability to understand our team, align the content with our goals, and deliver it in a way that was engaging and meaningful made a real impact. It was clear this was not a one-size-fits-all presentation — and that made all the difference.

Having Chris Sund as a Sarpy County Empower Breakfast speaker was a breath of fresh air. He was amazing — brought up all the things that make us all a little crazy and gave us new ways of handling objections. Definitely a great start to a day. I would always be happy to recommend Chris.

Having just started a new role in Business Development, the timing of Chris’s session on Handling Objections was perfect. Chris is a great storyteller — the Lucky Bucket story illustrates how persistence and research can help you win. The focus on “the pause” and how we speak resonated deeply. How you talk matters — and though simple, it’s powerful.

The takeaways from The Power of Small Moments were incredible. I came back and in an all-staff meeting shared the highlights with my team and gave them permission to enjoy those small moments that mean so much. I know that calling everyone by name and being present when speaking with a resident or team member is vital to our success. I look forward to attending future presentations.

Chris’s presentation for the Leadership Exchange didn’t feel like another polished leadership talk — he made it a conversation that was engaging, honest, and backed by personal experience. What stuck out was how he tied big leadership ideas to the things we actually deal with day to day. That vulnerability is rare, and it made the whole session stick.
