Chris is a seasoned keynote speaker, guest lecturer, and retreat leader. Whether you are seeking to entertain and retain your employees with team building exercises, or motivate your sales staff to blow their numbers out of the water - Chris has the customized presentation to meet your needs. Chris believes in taking the time with his clients to understand their unique needs and wants - so with each presentation, he enters into an in-depth needs analysis to ensure he is delivering EXACTLY what your business requires. While his presentations often have similar stories and themes, you can be assured YOUR presentation will always hit the mark.
Although Chris is an expert at program customization to suit your requirements, he does have some general themes to his presentations.
Many underperforming Sales Teams have forgotten what it is like to be on the other side of the counter. They have been trained to believe that their primary job is to "ask for the sale". They have forgotten that their true function is to ensure the client is happy, and that they have fulfilled all of their stated and unstated needs. Chris’ Creating Sales Experts program trains and mentors sales teams to think like a customer and approach business development completely backwards – and it delivers on its’ promise to create sales experts.
Is your team functioning as a cohesive unit? Is it producing leaders that interact cooperatively? Are you a sought-after employer because of your corporate culture?
Whatever challenges your management team may be facing, Chris can root them out and help you develop the leadership focused culture that sets you apart from your competitors and increases employee loyalty.
You have a great new idea and you want to kick off the new fiscal year with a bang. You have the informational speakers lined up, but how are you going to engage the audience and get that all important preliminary buy- in? Bring in your subject matter experts after Chris kicks off your conference on a high note and opens your attendee’s minds.
Here is what one attendee said
Thank you for arranging an outstanding Leadership and Professional Skills Development day!
At the end of the day, I bumped into Chris Cummins, the first speaker of the day. He was having a hot chocolate in the Eaton Centre, looking out on the flow of people walking by, and I walked up to him to thank him for being the best part of the day. He got the energy up, and the seminar participants were all smiling, with a shared experience. I have ideas and books to follow up on from his talk, and I did the color personality quiz.
Definitely with such a positive start, I was prepared to engage with the rest of the speakers. Also the networking aspect of the day was more relaxed since we had a common human bonding experience to start us off. The panels were very engaging with great insights and balance on our diverse marketplace.
This weekend, I'll distill the highlights of the day from my pile of notes and hand-outs, and form a new reading list.
Sincerely,
Heather Broughton CFA Vice President Northwater Capital Management Inc.

Just take a look at what the kids are saying...
"Wow! You made a huge impact on those students changing lives and helping people and that feels good! I think your name is going to get out there. You should do a university tour across north America!!!"
