A couple testimonials from a recent speaking engagement;
“Chris is an exuberant presenter and engages his audience from the moment he starts speaking. His wit and playful approach to teaching and facilitating made attending his workshop a pleasure. His examples, in particular, made it possible to really absorb and understand the material… as did the anecdotes he shared with the group. Finally, I got the distinct impression that Chris was there to not only share with us, but to learn from and with us – and I value that highly in a presenter. I will seek out other opportunities to hear Chris speak – I really enjoyed being a part of his audience.”
Kirsten Keil-Mehlenbacher, Manager, Volunteer Programs, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

“Chris is an engaging, humourous, practical speaker. He challenges you to think beyond the borders of what you are doing today to see different possibilities and potential for tomorrow.”

Corporate Volunteering: Why It Works & How To Prove It
This is a recent presentation I gave to the International Association of Business Communicators at their World Conference in Toronto, June 8, 2010. I used a format available a Prezi.com.
