Testimonials for Chris Helder
As you know I have seen you speak many times over the years and have always been a fan, but last week was far and away THE BEST I have seen from you. You were fantastic, the energy, the delivery and the content all came together for the best opening to our event that I could have hoped for. It is no surprise that the feedback from your session, and the entire event, has been off the charts!
Leanne Pilkington, Managing Director – Laing + Simmons Corporation P/L
Motivating, high energy, hilarious, engaging are words that spring to mind when I think of Chris Helder, but the most important thing he does is change behaviour. Chris was the keynote speaker at our T20 event in San Francisco in May and absolutely smashed it. To put this in context, the attendees were senior executives from realtor.com and 20 of the highest performing real estate agents in the country and they rated him a 10/10. If you want a high impact speaker who can change the game, then Chris is your man.

Chris Helder is combined energetic and entertainment delivery to top-notch content in a unique way. His presentation included very useful and highly practical tools that can be applied immediately both in private and business situations to influence people. The presentation was very well received by the top leaders of Nokia which is reflected by the feedback score: it was the highest in the three-day event.

Chris Helder spoke at the Annual SA Parks Conference and was definitely the ‘stand out” speaker of the event. His high energy presentation had delegates engaged, interested and amused. For the remainder of the conference delegates were exchanging analysis of what personality colours they thought they were, and how they would adapt their thinking using Chris’ tips and techniques. Chris’ message stayed with us well beyond the conference event which is the measure of a great speaker with a meaningful topic.
