BOOK CHRIS TO SPEAK AT YOUR NEXT EVENT
INSIGHT, ACTION, AND PERSONABLE HUMOR
My role in your event is to mash the best of what I know against my research about your industry and the conversations I have with your attendees, and turn it into something of value and action, and fun. Look, I’m not a juggler or a magician but I am also not a stuffy suit. My job is to deliver value to your attendees AND make you look good for hiring me.

SPEAKING TOPICS
LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM A CHIEF OF STAFF
The Chief of Staff acts as a strategic advisor to the CEO and senior leadership to drive the company’s growth agenda and coordinate multiple strategic initiatives across the organization. At every turn, a Chief guides and coach senior executive leadership teams to execute the shared mission and vision of the CEO and the organization, communicate more clearly internally and outside our walls, to delegate and deepen their benches, and to adapt quickly to incoming updated information that may alter strategic objectives or tactical approaches.
- How do leaders encourage the best performance from their executive team and all the other levels of leadership throughout an organization?
- What tools and methods do you use to maintain a high level (but deep dive-able) handle on all corporate initiatives?
- How do you nurture growth in leadership teams and encourage continuous learning models?
- Are there systems for getting more done with such little time?
Join Chris Brogan for a rousing and candid conversation about the ways a Chief of Staff operates alongside an executive team and take away as many leadership gems as you can carry.
TECHNOLOGY FOR A “WORK ANYWHERE” WORLD
The world changed for many people in 2020, though millions of employees all over the world were already used to operating remotely. As many companies move into a comfort level with Zoom meetings and more reliance on Slack channels, there are still so many tools and applications that would benefit and improve workflows and methods for companies with remote or hybrid staff.
- How can people brainstorm using a virtual whiteboard? And of the many styles out there, which would you recommend?
- With so many software applications trying to be the “system of record,” what becomes important for leadership teams, functional teams, and those people tasked with product and project management (PPM) in your organization?
- The world still hasn’t jumped on board fully with digital transformation. Can you entice people with a glimpse of what is gained when an organization with remote and hybrid workers uses more modern tools?
Chris Brogan has worked with using technology to drive better human interaction since 1998. He’s served the largest companies in the world, and several small and medium ones, too. Join him for a real-world look at what it’s going to take for people to ‘work anywhere’ safely and with advanced levels of productivity.
THE PROCESS OF BOOKING ME
I’m pretty easy to work with. Get in touch with me and we’ll figure out dates and rates and all that kind of stuff.
What You Should Know
If you really don’t know me yet, it’s tricky, I admit it. You’re worried: is he professional enough? (Yes.) Will he swear on stage? (He tries not to swear on stage.) Will he honor his commitments? (Every time.) Is he entertaining? (Oh, that I am. I mean, I’m no Cirque Du Soleil, but I’m fun.) Will he stick around after his speech? (Most times! I love mingling before and after. It helps me better tune the message to who is there.) Is he fussy? (Not at all. My requirements are rather simple. A couple bottles of water, a lav mic, a clicker, and I’m on my way. No trampolines. No smoke effects. No elephants.)
Okay? So, if you want someone to speak at your event, I’m your man. I promise!
