Chris McIntyre has an exceptional ability to connect with very different audiences. He conducted seminars for us at our corporate office in Vermont and at our distribution and call center in Roanoke, two very different groups. Chris’s wit and exceptional knowledge of his material captured the attention of both groups immediately and he held that throughout the day. It’s been a year since his visit to Vermont, and I still hear comments about his presentation. I look forward to the opportunity to hear Chris again.

 James W. Evans
VP, The Orvis Company, Inc.

We reached out to Chris to speak at our regional sales conference. Chris was hit! Not only did he connect with my team, but they begged him to stay until the end of the day so they could personally speak with him! They were so thankful he not only shared his personal story, but also provided them with the useful tools they could use to connect with our customers! The session couldn’t have been more on point!!!

 Janet Uthman
VP Sales & Marketing, Comcast

I LOVED your seminar…it was comparable to the coursework I received at Tuck School of Business last year. I attended your seminar expecting a “content deficient” motivational program…and I walked away with a bunch of “Ivy League” quality business school ideas that were delivered in a session that was very motivating!

Ron Alvarado
President, Novus Staffing Solutions

Chris McIntyre is simply fantastic. I have never felt as much freedom as I did in the weeks after his time with me. Chris is caring, articulate, focused and still provides the toughness to challenge my current leadership practices like any good coach. As my coach, he has continued to inspire me, not just to stick with the program, but to find ways to make it fit into my specific situation and lifestyle. Thank you Chris! You have improved my life and happiness exponentially.

Chris is an excellent trainer / presenter. He has an extremely personable approach to his delivery.

I highly recommend Chris to train busy professionals in need of help managing their daily workflow.

 Our students rated Chris the 2nd most effective speaker we’ve had all year. The most effective speaker was Sam King, a Hall of Fame Quarterback & Alum, who held the school’s records before Randall Cunningham broke them. No one could beat out Sam King. Chris was very motivational and professional and impartial – he didn’t push and was objective in delivery. We want Chris back!!!
