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 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.
