• entertain, energize and set the tone of interaction and fun for the entire event

"This was the perfect way to start our ABA Marketing Conference. Your energy, humor and enthusiasm inspired attendees to ACT rather than waste time talking. Your session was the highest rated-4.83/5! I would also like to thank you for your involvement in the planning process from beginning to end." - John Capotosto, Senior Program Manager, American Bankers Association

Chip has learned that extensive research and planning is the key to delivering the best results. He doesn't do canned presentations; he customizes them specifically for your company and your event. First, he researches your company. Then, he interviews you and your key decision-makers so he understands the goals and objectives for his presentation. Travel permitting, he arrives the afternoon before speaking and attends any sessions scheduled for late afternoon and evening to get a flavor for the event. No one else provides this kind of experience!

Chip's presentations are an interactive experience, not a one-way speech! Your people will be engaged and actively participating, not snoozing. Using an interactive customized handout, he works with the audience to look at what they're doing now, find more effective options, and commit to change-change that creates productivity and value for your organization.

Given what is happening in the economy and the constant negative onslaught from the media, the mindset of many people has gone from success to survival. It is time to look in the mirror, put on the hat of personal responsibility, and get better now. Audiences need to hear a message to get them plugged back in and switched on, and this is exactly what Chip delivers.

Chip is married to Miryana and proud father to Madison, Davis and Lucas. He lives in Knoxville, TN.

Programs:

GET SWITCHED ON!  The Power of Attitude and Activity

Get Switched On is a fun, engaging and interactive experience designed to help people get a better attitude and take high quality action. In difficult economic times, people tend to make excuses, focus on what's not working, and can become disillusioned. Attitudes can sour and the quality of their effort can decline.

The turnaround starts with acknowledging the gap between where you are and where you can be. What is possible for you? What have you been neglecting? What are the brutal facts you need to confront and take action on now?

Chip helps you clarify your compelling vision and a get a clear game plan for the future. What's working? What's exciting? Painting a picture in which you can see yourself making the vision a reality goes a long way to getting plugged back in and switched on!

"Very pleased with the closing of our meeting and how effective you were getting the message across to "Get Switched On". The interaction from that big of a group was fantastic and keeping the team focused by filling out the worksheets, along with the energy and humor you provided created a great learning environment."
- Cliff Carlson, GM Field Sales & Operations, PPG Industries

Do you need an engaging way to kick off or close your event?  Chip will customize this talk as the perfect opening experience to raise the bar for participation, energy and interaction at your event. It also works well as a closing experience to send people out the door with energy and a clear call to action. He will work closely with you so the content fits the needs of your event and ties into your theme.


BREAKING BARRIERS The Board Break Experience

What will dominate the conversations at your next event? Chip guarantees it will be this program. The board break is an intense, emotional and climactic physical metaphor dedicated to over achievement and pushing your team's energy to new and lasting heights. The room is filled with the spirit of self-confidence and acknowledgment. Your team, be they 30 or 2500, will be in peak emotional state, creating moments that will last a lifetime.

The room is alive and amplified with music and energy. Each person will celebrate in the thrill of overcoming adversity and experiencing an unforgettable moment of personal and team victory. They will commit to a specific personal and team goal on their board - that is what they have on the line when the break the board. That is what we will celebrate!

The Law of Familiarity states the longer you are around something, the more you take it for granted. When team members take the company leaders, their jobs and each other for granted, it destroys initiative, passion for their work and team unity. Often people begin to delete what is going well and focus on what isn't working and what they don't like. Day to day good performance can be forgotten, finger pointing begins and only the mistakes are pointed out. This kills the potential of reaching peak performance.

Chip excels at rekindling the passion for making a difference for the company, each other and the customer. This event builds trust, teamwork and total commitment. When people are concentrating on catching others doing things right - anything is possible. Igniting Team Spirit is the ultimate in employee motivation and is often added to other keynotes to create an extraordinary half-day to full-day event. This program will Unleash the Power and is the perfect closing event!

"Chip's energy and training was perfect for our event. The "breaking of the boards" at the end of the training event created confidence and excitement in those who were doubtful and a great sense of teamwork as each person cheered the others in their efforts.It definitely kicked off our event with class and excitement!" - Kevin Lange, Director of Training, ServiceMaster Clean


OWN IT! Take Charge of Your Performance

Chip shows how the power getting clear on what you want and how taking ownership of your preparation, results and attitude can ignite tremendous performance improvements. Now is the time to reevaluate what you have been doing and take action to improve.

He covers the key elements of re-evaluation, clarity of a compelling vision, making new decisions, keeping score, moving the target and the power of attitude and activity. They can transform your team from a followership model to an ownership model, where everyone "owns" the mission and goals.

Kaizen or continuous improvement, is well-established in modern corporate culture as the process in which steady, incremental change leads to reaching your target. But what if you or your company needs bigger, more dramatic change?

What if the current economic reality dictates you must move the target?

Chip shows how incorporating more innovative or revolutionary change -- into everyday activities can lead to incredible change. For many, it may be taking ownership of their energy and vitality which will lead to performance improvements in their career. For others, it is taking ownership of their expertise and performance.

Are they any better at what they do then they were 3 years ago?

Own It! inspires accountability, personal responsibility, trust in the team, and a long-term view of success. Even if you've settled for less in the past, or your company hasn't gotten the results it wants, you've got what it takes to make it happen. Small individual decisions can lead to a greater sense of ownership and big results; bigger changes can lead to innovation and revolutionary change. Let Chip show you and your team how to own it!

"From start to finish working with you has been a pleasure. Chip you were the right person at the right time to speak to our company. Your message of "Own It" was just the message they needed to hear. I could tell by watching their reactions that many of them had never heard a message quite like yours before. You not only covered many strategies for improving their business skills and personal lives,  but your emphasis on physical vitality and fitness was a message we all needed to hear. To do that in the 90 minutes we provided you was awesome. Your presentation made our event!" - Geff Lynch, SVP Sales & Marketing, Lancester
