Hi I am Chris, I live in Hamilton, NZ. I am a bit older, and am just navigating a redundancy which has turned my side hustle into my main gig! I have been coaching TEDx speakers for over a decade, and have coached well over 100 at this stage. I did it voluntarily at first, then charged to do it on the side. And now it is [gulp] my business. Fun Facts: I am an award winning filmmaker, I have been a stunt extra and appeared on TV, cable and movies. I used to run a Kyokushin Karate Dojo, and I have a fun casual podcast that has been going for about 12 years (episode 593 of our weekly podcast will go out this week). 😃 Right now I am doing a launch of a coaching program for experts and business owners who want to put together their message from the stage. The launch and the program is all being done through Skool. 🤩

Our very first Step Into Your Next Level Summit is officially in the books, and I’m still taking it all in. When @Dr. Stephanie Murauskas and I launched Skool Summit Stage on May 25th, we started at ZERO. About 10 weeks later, we’re closing in on 1,000 members and just wrapped an incredible 3-day summit with 35 amazing speakers. Was everything perfect? Nope. Did we learn a TON? Absolutely. But watching this community come together over those three days made every bit of work behind the scenes worth it. To every single speaker who shared their time, knowledge, stories, strategies, and expertise with this community, THANK YOU. We truly could not have done this without you. I’m going to tag all 35 of you in the comments because you deserve the recognition. ❤️ And to every MEMBER who showed up live, asked questions, supported our speakers, connected with each other, upgraded, grabbed replays, shared the summit, or simply joined us along the way… THANK YOU. You are the reason we built this community in the first place. This was summit was just the 1st We learned a lot, we have a lot of ideas, and you better believe the next one will be even better. But before we move on, I want to hear from YOU. 👇 Drop your TOP 3 favorite sessions from the summit in the comments. There are NO right or wrong answers. We had 35 incredible speakers covering completely different topics, so I’m genuinely curious which three impacted YOU the most. And speakers, you can play too. 😉

I am so excited to announce that my pre-recorded session inside the 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 is now live! The session is called: 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘆 It’s 20 minutes, pre-recorded, and you can watch it on your own schedule anytime during the summit window. Inside, I share why selling feels so uncomfortable for so many women, what is actually driving that dynamic, and practical tools to help you find your calm center so sales conversations start feeling like a natural extension of who you are. Because sales does not have to feel pushy. It does not have to feel fake. And it definitely does not have to feel like you have to become someone else to invite people into your work. Hope over to the Classroom now!! It is full of so much GOLD!!
