Setting goals is easy. Following through on them is a whole different story. The gap between the two has nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with something most people have never been taught to see—the hidden values that drive every decision you make.

In this interactive keynote, Chris walks audiences through a "would you rather" exercise based on motivation research across 80+ countries to discover their own personal core values in real time. From there, he shares three practical tools from his new book, Intentional, which has received acclaim in the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Globe and Mail, Oprah Magazine, and others. These tactics help people protect what matters most from the noise of daily work to achieve their goals. Part science, part storytelling, part genuine self-discovery.

Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. And the research is clear—the state of our attention determines the state of our lives. In other words, if our attention is constantly overwhelmed, so are we. By transforming how you manage your attention, the better you'll be able to manage every aspect of your life.

In this story-driven, science-backed keynote, Chris shares profound insights into how to take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity throughout the day. He draws from his bestselling book, Hyperfocus, and the latest neuroscientific research to equip audiences with practical, immediately implementable strategies that will help them become more productive in a world of distraction.

Over the last decade, Chris has researched and experimented with pretty much every productivity tactic under the sun to separate what works from what doesn't. Drawing from this research and his collection of peculiar productivity experiments—like working 90-hour weeks, using his smartphone for only an hour a day, and meditating for 35 hours a week—Chris will transform how you and your audience think about productivity and high performance.

In his quest to optimize his performance, Chris has honed in on a couple dozen productivity strategies that actually work. In this custom talk, he works directly with clients to identify which of these research-backed tactics would best help their teams enhance their productivity and performance—and delivers a tailored keynote to guarantee results.

This interactive, half-day productivity workshop will help your team manage their time, attention, and energy—the three core ingredients of productivity.

The workshop weaves powerful personal and team productivity tactics with helpful exercises to get more done, and includes the occasional fun anecdote from Chris's books, Hyperfocus and The Productivity Project. This workshop is perfect for busy teams who have little time to think about productivity.

The workshop runs four hours and is designed to accommodate as many or as few people as you like—the sessions work equally well for groups of executives, managers, and individual contributors. Chris will customize the workshop for your audience.

In addition to helping your team identify the tasks they should prioritize in their work (so they can work smarter), this intensive will help attendees eliminate distractions, simplify their work, and develop their ability to hyperfocus—all while becoming less busy, tired, and stressed out.

Workshop attendees receive a booklet to guide them through the exercises, as well as a printable PDF take-away, so their newly learned productivity tactics actually stick.
