Chris Tuff Really Cares About Helping People and Improving Their Lives. He has one goal at every speaking event: to provide attendees with meaningful and insightful lessons that they can implement in their own lives – both professionally and personally – the second they leave their seats!

In a world where everything is connected, we've never been more disconnected from each other-especially when it comes to the workplace! Chris Tuff understands this challenge like few others and can provide the steps needed to get back to authentic connection to maximize your company's culture, retention, and return. 

His mission is simple: to put an end to this crisis of disconnection and bring humility and humanity back into business. By emphasizing commonalities and shared experiences, by taking an empathetic approach to individual strengths and collective empowerment, we can overcome one of the biggest workplace challenges of the 21st century.

Chris began his career as a pioneer of the social media marketing space, becoming one of the first marketers to work directly on Facebook advertising. Chris was also one of the first to film a “viral” video, an honor that landed him on the front page of The Wall Street Journal and as a guest on Good Morning America.

His first book, The Millennial Whisperer, is a USA Today bestseller. Chris explains how you can leverage connection to bridge generational divides within your organization for a more cohesive and motivated team.  

During the pandemic, Chris shifted his focus toward making connections outside of the office, which resulted in publishing his new bestseller, Save Your Asks. Chris teaches you how to apply these connection strategies outside of your immediate network so you can build lasting, meaningful, and profitable relationships that last. Chris is so confident in these strategies that he guarantees a 10x return on your investment. 

Chris has been featured in Forbes Magazine, Wall Street Journal, in Fast Company, The New York Times, Wired, Bloomberg, Business Insider, Digiday, Social Times, Social Fresh, and consistently in advertising trade publications like Ad Age and Advertising Weekly. He has appeared on Good Morning America, and is a favorite for Podcasts all over the world!

• The Millennial Whisperer- Lazy. Entitled. Needy. These are just some of the words used to describe Millennials and Gen Z-ers in the workplace.

• Save Your Asks- In the modern work environment, business leaders and sales teams are under enormous pressure to convert more leads and shorten sales cycles.

• Leading With Genuine Connection- In the wake of The Great Resignation, many companies are scrambling to find ways to attract & retain top talent, AND find new business within their ecosystem.
