Chris is fascinated with helping people take back control of their own self-talk, believing that “the most important words we say all day are the words we say to ourselves, about ourselves, when we are alone by ourselves”. He believes most people are cruel and demeaning in those moments. Chris teaches people how to master this communication, altering their self-perception and therefore the results they attract.
Chris Helder is the author of three bestselling books: The Ultimate Book of Influence which has been published in five languages, Useful Belief, which is one of the highest selling Australian business books of all time, and Cut The Noise which is about achieving better results with less guilt.

Testimonials
“I have to say, he [Chris] was a pleasure to work with. Very professional, lovely guy, not a diva at all and having worked with a few speakers I can assure you that that is not always the case.
Chris, really ‘smashed it out of the park’ with his speech in Hawaii and after the two previous speakers, he had big shoes to follow – the takeaways he provides in a motivational speech are very clear and unique!”

“Motivating, high energy, hilarious, engaging are words that spring to mind when I think of Chris Helder, but the most important thing he does is change behaviour. Chris was the keynote speaker at our T20 event in San Francisco in May and absolutely smashed it. To put this in context, the attendees were senior executives from realtor.com and 20 of the highest performing real estate agents in the country and they rated him a 10/10. If you want a high impact speaker who can change the game, then Chris is your man.”
