“I attended a conference in Laguna Beach California and Chris was one of our keynote speakers. I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed his speaking style and his engaging content that kept me thinking for days. The way he presents makes you feel he is speaking only to you—I could listen to him speak for hours. I couldn’t wait to get back home to read the book on the topic as well. I look forward to hearing Chris speak again soon…and often!”

“I cannot express properly in words how much your virtual training impacted me. It’s like being a stone that has not be sculpted into anything for years—just a stone and then after this I am beginning to see the makings of a piece of art. Yesterday’s workshop has been all I’ve talked about today with people.”
