Chris Helder

About

Chris Helder is a best-selling author and one of Australia’s most sought-after keynote speakers on mastering the power of mindsets, genuine communication and influence. He provides audiences with the tools to master the art of influence with both clients and themselves.

​Chris Helder has a fresh and engaging style that immediately captures his audience’s attention and a passion that is contagious. Originally from the United States, his presentations are a high energy and hilarious look at understanding human behaviour. From mastering ‘nightclub excellence’ to finally winning that big account, audiences discover the key to building rapport and influencing those around them.

​These skills range from adjusting to different ‘intensities’, to easily reading and adapting to body language and eye patterns to quickly establish a connection. Chris also challenges participants to understand the importance of mastering their own ‘mindset’, to avoid playing the role of victim within situations.

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.
