I'm not a theorist, and this isn't a hype talk. I run a 62-unit building and a travel publishing business on the systems in this talk, and I show audiences the real thing: a personal AI set up safely, doing real work, live — including the parts that break, and what to do when they do.
Keynotes, breakout sessions, and half- or full-day workshops for businesses, associations, and events. Fees are quoted in writing once we know the audience and the date — every engagement starts with a booking conversation.
Book Chris to speakAI as Co-Pilot — the flagship talk: a personal AI, set up safely, as a second brain for owners and busy brains — planning, decisions, and the daily drag, with your private data kept private.
Do More With Less Stress — AI implementation for small teams: where the hours actually hide, what to automate first, and what to leave human.
The Practitioner Files — lessons from running a real business and a travel brand on AI in public: what worked, what broke, and what it cost.
Until Now: AI for the Rest of Us — the story talk: why the door to AI only just opened for owners who aren't technical, what the pathway in actually looks like, and how to walk it without handing your private information to the big providers.
Half-day or full-day, for your team or your members. Attendees bring their real tasks; we set up their co-pilots during the session, in their own tools, with the guardrails in place. People leave with working systems and the skills to run them — not a slide deck and good intentions.
Formats are tailored after a short planning call; fees quoted in writing.
Plan a workshop →This is a new page for a new speaking practice, and I'd rather show you an honest empty frame than invent a résumé. The talk itself is proven every day in my own businesses; the stage history starts here.
Talk history — to be added as engagements are confirmed. First confirmed dates will be listed here with event, city, and date.
What organizers say — testimonials will be added after the first engagements, quoted exactly as given. Nothing here is paraphrased, composited, or borrowed.
When your event is over, your audience can hire the same person they just heard: the Review for their business, an implementation in their tools, or a workshop for their team. One practice, one standard: shown, not sold.
