Chris speaks about:

1.  ‘The Power To Get Things Done (Whether You Feel Like It Or Not) published by Penguin Random House USA in January 2016

“This book contains a ton of practical and easy-to-implement techniques and strategies for getting yourself to do whatever needs to be done.” Jack Canfield, coauthor of The Success PrinciplesTM and the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series.”

Whether you run your own business or work for someone else, you’ve probably got a lot on your plate. Along with the portion of your work that you truly feel like doing comes a generous helping of things you’d rather not do. With many small businesses failing in their first few years, failure to do some of these things may even lead to the failure of your business.

During this session Chris will share with you how to consistently turn good intentions into action so that you can be as successful as possible in the work you do….whether or not you feel like filing tax forms, making follow-up calls or taking action on a myriad of different intentions.

What delegates will learn includes:

The correct way to think about and treat good intentions
Why people often fail to get important things done
Why it is not your fault
How you need to apply manual strategies to get things done
Simple but powerful principles and strategies for getting things done

Duration:


Keynote – 30 minutes or 45 minutes
Masterclass – 90 mins to 3 hours.

I have known Chris for several months and have found him the consummate professional.In particular running a workshop for our business customers on the Power to Get Things Done and looking at the potential solutions available to resolve this big issue that many of us face. The feedback from the event was fabulous with a great buzz around the room both during and after the event. It was a pleasure to work with Chris – Lucy Winn, Area Director HSBC Business Banking



‘Well, it’s official. I hate Chris Cooper. I no longer have any excuses for all the different ways I procrastinate and then rationalise them. Chris’s talk was excellent – professional, engaging, thought provoking and personally challenging. He not only introduced us to sensible, actionable ideas that we can put in place straight away, he did it in a thoroughly entertaining way. A knock-out session’ David Abbot, Marketing Strategist

Today the best organizational leaders appreciate how essential ‘Employee Engagement’ is to productivity. In fact, research has concluded that highly engaged people generate 43% more revenue. During this event, Chris will share how in order to achieve greater employee engagement and personal success, we must all take responsibility for becoming more engaging as leaders and managers.

Articulate and considered, Chris carefully weaves anecdotes from his extensive commercial experience and stories from his personal life, to offer a critique on the state of contemporary management. Our students leave the room inspired to consider how they can play a part in elevating the importance of individual well being and the centrality of human relationships for the benefit of an organisation’s productivity.” Dr Matthew Higgins, University of Leicester Business School.

  • Testimonials

    I recently shared a stage with Chris, speaking at a Business Growth Conference in Mayfair, London.Chris had a tough job as the final speaker at the end of the afternoon, following a series of speeches from highly experienced conference speakers.The organisers were delighted with Chris – he did a splendid job reminding the audience that they only had themselves to blame if they left that conference and failed to take appropriate action. Using humour and pathos, Chris engaged with the audience and left everyone feeling upbeat and raring to go at the end of the day.

    I highly commend Chris to you as a speaker.

    Mike Ogilvie – National President Professional Speaking Association 2014/15

    I saw Chris Cooper here today, absolutely fantastic. I came away with a book full of notes. The bit that stood out was about who is to blame when it comes to not following your intentions when you are self employed.  I just want to see him again.

    Karen Asemper Media Commentator & MD of The Dream Alchemist

    Chris spoke recently at the www.BGIStrategy.com supercongress which was a stage full of the leading speakers in the UK. Chris was brilliant to work with, his subject matter fresh and his stage performance was incredibly well crafted, right down to one of the best matrix impressions I have seen on stage 😉

    Deri Llewellyn-Davis – CEO and Founder of Strategy on a Page

    Chris is a fabulous presenter, speaker and all round great guy. He truly cares about you as a person and what you believe in and immediately puts you at ease. I was recently a guest on his Be More, Achieve More Radio Show and rather than feeling like I was being interviewed, Chris created an atmosphere that allowed us to have a very natural 2-way conversation and what’s more, it was fun. I have also heard Chris as a Professional Speaker – he is impactful, inspiring and engages his audience with his very warm and natural manner. If you haven’t yet tuned in or heard him speak, do so – you are missing a treat.  Jo Simpson, Managing Director, Executive and Leadership Coach, Professional Speaker
