Speaking

Book Chris to speak at your next event

We only learn when we feel engaged. Professional speaking is the art of blending information with entertainment and connecting it meaningfully to a smart audience. I've given over 1000 keynote speeches internationally to some of the biggest companies and industries in the world. Each presentation is tailored to the people I serve, and every presentation is built to reflect the specifics of your organization. Let me turn your event into a thousand thank-you notes from your attendees to YOU for putting me in front of them to serve their needs with fresh ideas, funny delivery, and a very personal touch.

Interests

I’ve been paid to speak on a variety of topics, the range of which might prove staggering. To that end, I like to curate a small list of topics I’d much rather talk about if they serve your people. Contact me ([email protected]) if you want to discuss my availability for speaking.

Topics

WILL A ROBOT STEAL MY JOB?

Artificial Intelligence is here. There are articles everywhere about how great it is, how terrible it is. What can it do for your role? How will it impact your workforce? Should you dive into it, or steer clear? What are the risks and where are the opportunities? Learn from someone deep in the keys on this topic daily, plus get a summary of all the popular modern analysis on the topic. (This speech is customized to every specific industry and organization. It’s too nuanced to be “out of the box.”)

NOTES FROM A CHIEF OF STAFF

It’s unlikely that your company has a Chief of Staff role on your executive leadership team…YET. But should you? It’s one of the fastest-growing executive position titles being offered on LinkedIn. As companies grow in complexity while being forced to make do with less, the role of Chief of Staff exists as a way to orchestrate the rapid response strategic decisiveness required to succeed faster in fewer quarters. Learn the possible configurations of the role, the benefits (and a few drawbacks) of having a Chief of Staff, and hear some learnings from other notable Chiefs from various industries.

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN: WRITING AND SPEAKING FOR IMPACT AT WORK

For whatever reason, we expect our executive and senior leadership teams to be great writers, presenters, and all around communications experts. Have you been to the average team meeting lately? Writing is thinking. It encourages better absorption of what matter at work, and yet, most people write like they’re being held hostage, or they’re presenting to their fifth grade teacher. Learn at least three different styles of writing, when to use each, and how this applies to EVERY role in a modern knowledge-working community.

Again, I’m open to many more topics, but these are my top ones for 2023. Let me know what you want and let’s work to satisfy your needs. Drop me an email: [email protected].

Bio

May I pause and say something about bios? They always sound so arrogant and pompous. They are this moment in time where we’re supposed to brag about ourselves so that you think we’re worth your time. I’m worth your time. If you’re stuck having to read this to a crowd at a conference where I’m keynoting, hopefully, this will be easier.Chris Brogan is Chief of Staff at Appfire.com. He is the New York Times bestselling author of ten books and counting. Chris is an international keynote speaker, having given over 1000 speeches across 14 countries and counting.
