Chris is a master facilitator and we can always expect to receive great feedback from any of the classes that he teaches.
Chris – I’ve seen and listened to many speakers and trainers in my years in the corporate world. I can honestly say that your presentation style, enthusiasm, kinetic energy, and humor put you on a very short list of memorable and noteworthy speakers. You’ve definitely set a high standard for others, including me, to aspire to.
We had the pleasure of working with Chris McIntyre on trainings for our national sales representatives and support channel. He is an excellent speaker and trainer. He was dynamic, he kept everyone’s attention for the whole day and made sure everyone was engaged. Our group loved him.
We anticipated that our DCMs would be engaged but we did not anticipate that they would enjoy it like they did! You definitely have my highest recommendation!
Chris was outstanding! He was able to keep the entire team fully engaged. He’s a master at creating a challenging, yet open, learning environment that inspires genuine dialogue and team development. I highly recommend Chris McIntyre!
Chris provided a fantastic presentation for our recent national conference. He took the time to understand the purpose of our conference and made his content relevant to our organization. His style left the audience wanting more and the ideas he shared are still being discussed among the participants months later.
As a speaker, he is an expert at creating a dynamic environment that inspires everyone to contribute in a way that makes them feel involved, heard, and valued. As a coach, Chris is firm, present, and has amazing depth. Chris McIntyre has my highest recommendation.

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!!!
Chris is an engaging speaker! He was able to keep an audience of over 100 people interested, excited and engaged. People laughed, learned and enjoyed a full 8 hours of new material. I highly recommend Chris as a public speaker.
I’ve been in the Social Services business for over thirty years and must say that your “Inspiring Independence” exercise was OUTSTANDING!
Chris McIntyre does a superb job, which is why we always request to have him back! We consistently receive rave reviews from participants who find Chris engaging and knowledgeable. For example, one recent participant commented: “I did not know how good a presenter/facilitator could be until this course with Chris. He was engaging, answered questions very well and directly, kept a good energy level, communicated clearly and convincingly, and was fun to listen to.”
I’ve worked with Chris on a number of occasions for our leadership training at Northwestern Mutual. Chris’s knowledge, professionalism & energy have helped enlighten our employees to embrace more realistic and practical organizing and planning methods. Employees have raved about his presentation style and how his enthusiasm kept the class interesting and engaging.
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.
Small Business
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!
Chris is a great speaker and teacher. His presentation is clear, focused, and he gives practical strategies to implement immediately as well as tools to develop systems long term.
Chris’s in depth perspective and delivery of impactful data inspires each business owner to a new level of accountability. GAME recognizes GAME.
This was an awesome event! Only wish it could have lasted longer. You are a wealth of great ideas and thinking.
I’m inspired! Thanks for clearly and concisely helping me understand how to not only hold staff accountable, but my Board of Directors as well.
Chris has an innate ability to captivate an audience with his charismatic personality and articulate presentation style. He is excellent at reducing complex subject matter into simple, easy to understand message points. I have attended plenty of training programs over my 33 year career and rank Chris as one of the best presenters I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from.
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.

I have been meaning to let you know how many compliments we got on your presentation to the United Nations International School (UNIS) last year. Our UNIS community is demanding and everyone in the class agreed that you were an excellent speaker who engaged them. They loved your humor, passion, real life examples and your in-depth knowledge.
I have struggled with a model and process for goal setting. Chris’s “Most Valuable Assets” tool broke my mental log jam.
“Inspiring a Culture of Accountability” has provided me with multiple options for getting my team to “row in the same direction” and to embrace excellence!
Over the past two years I have observed Chris McIntyre give numerous presentations to audiences large and small. Chris has an extremely rare inspirational gift that helps those who hear him speak to think “I can do that!” Behind the scenes, he’s even better! Chris actually listened to our needs, and tailored the message to hit the bulls-eye every time. He’s an exceptional professional and has my highest recommendation.
A well worth three hours of time – even for non-profit leaders.

Faith-Based
Chris you were amazing. We’re planning our next leadership retreat around your schedule!
I have seen Chris several times prior, but mostly with adult groups. I absolutely had no idea he was just as capable of captivating the youth! Chris is a remarkably gifted, multi-dimensional motivator. I strongly recommend, and urge you to hire him now!
Chris’ comfortable style, attention to detail and his new and innovative ways of looking at everyday issues has been a God-send for our ministry leadership over the years. His trainings have inspired a new crop of leaders to consider and develop their God-given gifts for the greater good of the body. As a friend and colleague, I feel blessed to have such a trendsetter close by to help organize my thoughts.
Education
I would encourage anyone seeking practical, useful, knowledge to achieve in their roles and organizations to attend his presentations.
Absolutely amazing! Chris was able to capture and maintain the attention of several hundred high school seniors right before graduation! Without a doubt, he is definitely one of the most captivating and motivating speakers I have ever seen!
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!!!
I have trusted Chris countless times to inspire my team, and many of the San Diego Unified School District’s most senior administrators and every single time – he did a superb job! His style is warm and engaging, and the content is always world-class. I can’t recommend Chris highly enough.
Chris McIntyre reinvigorated my staff and had them thinking differently about how they serve high school students.
The University of Arizona’s New Start Summer Program has hosted presentations for the last 5 years, and without question, Chris McIntyre was the best presenter we’ve had thus far! We’ll see you next summer!
Chris’s presentation skills are excellent. His relaxed, clear, energetic mastery of the material made it easy for us to stay with him the whole day. I felt that we collaborated well in shaping the day.
I can’t remember how many times we’ve hired Chris – but I can remember the impact he had: Phenomenal! Chris is extremely easy to work with – his flexibility and willingness to change direction is commendable. His content is outstanding – and his style is riveting. By far – one of the best in the business!
We’ve used Chris many times to motivate our staff with his thought-provoking and entertaining workshops at the annual Classified Professional & Staff Development Conference. His post-session evaluations are always highly ranked and the staff look forward to him returning for future engagements. His content is always rock-solid – and his style’s always captivating and memorable. I gladly extend my highest recommendation for Chris.
Chris is an excellent trainer / presenter. He has an extremely personable approach to his delivery. Workshop participants feel at ease immediately and are free to ask the questions that they need to in order to understand and relate to the information being presented. I highly recommend Chris to train busy professionals in need of help managing their daily workflow.
A roadmap much more like a GPS – talks to everyone, in any position, no matter where you are!
It’s not easy to keep some of country’s finest Doctors, statisticians and other like-minded scientists actively engaged for an entire day. Chris did it! Everyone agreed his style was engaging, fun, and definitely inspired us to action! He’s one of the best speakers we’ve had the opportunity to work with at the University of Utah.
