Training & Facilitation

Rated as one of the most effective and powerful speakers and facilitators in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Indonesia, and across the United States and Canada, Chris Steely’s capacity to command an audience is proven, as is his talent for creating a relaxed, team-oriented rapport with his audience while getting them actively engaged and experiencing their true team dynamics.  

Chris employs a number of tools, games, and strategies such as trust exercises, rope courses, board breaking, and more to help teams master concepts and physically anchor them in their system to maintain lasting momentum. His use of interaction, humor, and astonishing  storytelling will inspire audiences to make life improvements while touching their hearts and delivering them to the all-important action steps.

Prior to each speaking engagement, Chris conducts a pre-event interview. He takes quality time to meet with each company’s leadership team, as well as random employees to help determine how he can best direct and reinforce the message they wish to impart in a way that meets the needs of all of his clients’ employees.

Workshops & Retreats 

Half-day workshops   

(approximately 3-5 hours in length) 

A half-day workshop offers more time to customize an event to a particular group’s needs and issues as well as to provide an opportunity to do more intensive experiential learning to better reinforce the tools for lasting change. The extended event length also allows for more synergy and team-building activities to create higher-level communication between individuals and/or teams. Participants will develop a vision and a plan to create personal responsibility and leadership. By understanding and employing the power of belief to strengthen relationships, they will break through their fears, improve their performance, and truly understand the power of caring and the recognition of team building.  

Full-day workshops 

(approximately 6+ hours in length.) 

This highly customized event—appropriate for any group size—will take people through the process of change and growth. The event is fully designed to fit your company’s distinct needs and will use case studies specific to your company to help employees understand how to apply the information they receive to their day-to-day working life. The extended length of this event will allow for a fully engaged experience from the audience with ample time to practice, embody, and integrate the expanded list of tools and techniques they will learn.  

Events & Retreats: Create a Lifestyle Change
(from 2-4 days) 

This type of event inspires participants to change, to learn about and discover different tools for growth, and to practice innovative disciplines required to fully integrate newly learned skills. These events can take an even more powerful turn when planned around a travel destination that allows for greater learning opportunities. Such immersion provides participants the opportunity to live and practice their new disciplines while being coached by Chris and allowed time to reflect on their roles, beliefs, and future contributions to their team, company, family, community, and world. 

Chris leverages years of event experience to offer tips on logistics and ideas that will ensure a successful outcome. Such tips include possible themes, slogans, music, decorations, skits, interactive exercises, parting gifts, and various activities to anchor all aspects of an event upon people’s return home. Chris’ expert team will coordinate each all-inclusive, fully customized corporate or specialty adventure and learning experience.  

“Chris, Thanks so much for the inspirational presentation. Your enthusiasm and focus to helping others is contagious. I am sure that after taking the ideas and strategies and incorporating them into my coaching, the business will grow and help more clients. You have expanded my vision!  I am looking forward to getting back with my existing clients and meeting new ones to help all I can.”    - Curt Henry, Business Coach,  Greenville, TN (January 30, 2009)
