This is Chris' most requested keynote where he shares his expertise on how colleagues, colleges, educators and communities in general can be united. Chris explains the differences between listening to argue your point vs listening to understand perspectives. His heart warming story of how love conquers hate will leave the audience inspired to be the change that they wish to see in the world. Whether they agree with their counterparts or not, the audience will surely be equipped with a different perspective on privilege, racism and key takeaways they can use in their everyday life to be more empathetic.

It's no secret that we all go through adversity. In this keynote speech Chris shares his keys to: Survive, Pivot, Adapt and Thrive (S.P.A.T) through all of life's obstacles. Chris knows first hand how to overcome the unthinkable with a mindset of resilience and understanding that we may not be able to choose what happens to us, but we can always control our responses. Chris' response in the aftermath of his mother being murdered while he was in college led him to be drafted by the Chicago Cubs and now being one of the most booked professional speakers under the age of 30.
