Chris Heeter

Biography

Featured on the Discovery Channel's 'National Geographic Today' and recognized with national awards as a speaker, Chris has followed her own Wild path since she was young. A wilderness guide for 30+ years, Chris leads groups deep into the wilderness by canoe or dogsled. The abundant parallels between these adventures and the workplace make up the core of her presentations. Chris grabs audiences with humorous stories about her dogs and their personalities, then weaves those stories into practical takeaways. Chris is on a mission to wake up the Wild side of organizations; to break through the trappings of 'how we've always done it;' and to create Wild and vibrant workplaces that blend heart with solid, successful business strategy.

The big thing for me is our managers connected so much with what Chris was talking about they were immediately applying what they had learned once they returned to their teams in the stores. Chris was so clear and easy to understand.

Her stories and analogies from her outdoor adventures evoke emotions that everyone in the audience can connect to in their personal and professional lives. Her humanistic approach brings empathy back into the equation to address workforce challenges.

Chris's talk could not have been more on point. She was captivating and gave us valuable insights and new ways of thinking. She incorporated exercises so that we were not passively absorbing information, but taking it and doing something with it. Everyone in the room walked away with new wisdom to help get through one of the most demanding and important times of our year. In summary, I found Chris to be generous, insightful and moving.
