Driven by the real world, by humanity, and by ‘the now,’ Chris makes sense of the uncomfortable and challenging world of ‘the future’ and makes a case for excitement, motivation, and optimism. And there’s never been a more critical time for optimism—but moreover, optimism with rigor. Chris’ obsession with data, detail, and insights—making unique connections and unlocking new perspectives—forms a compelling case for a future that will be better than today.
This obsession with the future—and ‘the now’ that shapes it—has powered Chris’ thinking and his career for 15 years. Having lived across the globe and working for some of the largest and most influential businesses and brands on the planet, Chris has honed his ability to spot and track global patterns and unlock opportunities in the increasingly disrupted digital world we live in. Chris’ approach sits at the intersection of rigor and insight—and heart and energy. Taking what we know—and fear—about our world today and tomorrow and encouraging changes in attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and mindsets… all wrapped up in fantastic entertainment and showmanship. This is the power of the live Chris Riddell experience. It’s real… relatable… relevant… and revelatory.
"A hearty thank you from NAFA! Chris was fantastic! I knew he would be but my CEO actually said – “best keynote we have ever had!”. So thanks for making the whole process so easy. I am glad we booked him. And as a side note, his baby girl is so cute my CEO now demands all Keynotes must come with a cute baby or it's no deal! So again, thank you, and Chris, for being so easy to work with."
