With 23 years of army experience, Chris Robinson is a military speaker with a front line insight. His style of keynote speaking invites audiences to improve their communication, teamwork and decision-making, making military-grade skills more accessible to the general public. Having experienced first hand the self-improving benefits of army training, Chris created a course which embodies the same gruelling, yet rewarding, mental and physical challenges that he experienced as a soldier. For corporate audiences, a booking like Chris can hold the key to pioneering leaders and dependable followers.
Prior to retiring in 2017, Chris enjoyed a long military career. Upon being promoted to Colour Sergeant in the Yorkshire Regiment, his career took him all over the world, from Iraq to Afghanistan, Sierra Leone to Somalia. While on the frontline, Chris was responsible for not just his own life, but the safety of his team, an experience that he discusses as a speaker. Chris easily connects with managers, using his platform to promote positive managerial strategies like valuing your employee's individual ability and making decisions to benefit your entire team, not just you as a manager.
By coming face to face with danger, Chris honed his decision making skills. Invaluable to a corporate environment, his ability to calculate risk and make choices based on accurate predictions can be the key to business success. Towards the end of his military career, Chris served with the British Peace Support Team. This role led him to work in Kenya, as well as travel across East Africa on instructional courses with senior officers from allied nations.
This experience taught Chris both the skills to engage a team and the best strategies to instil in audiences. With the slogan "from the battlefield to the boardroom", Chris set up Maven Group after leaving the British military. His company delivers tailored presentations to corporate clients, modelling an insight driven strategy plan that can drastically improve teamwork, leadership and communication. As a keynote speaker, Chris can engage an audience of people no matter the size, demographic or industry, a testament to his highly interesting content.
