"Chris delivered an amazing workshop on how best to present data-related subject matter. He knows exactly what works and doesn't work. But, more importantly, he did this in an engaging manner that left us more knowledgeable and more aware. I recommend Chris to any organization because, in this age of conveying messages from data, there are none who couldn't benefit from his guidance."
Benjamin Caplette
"Earlier this month, our team had the opportunity to work with Chris on sharpening our data presentation skills. Since then, I’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in the way the team approaches their presentations. Keeping things simple, leveraging color, and focusing the content on inspiring the audience in lieu of simply providing information have become standard talking points amongst the team. Thank you, Chris!"

Nice to meet you!
I’m Christopher Chin. Unlike most coaches, I’m not an actor. I’m not an extrovert. I’m a coder, programmer, analyst, techie who likes being behind a screen, not standing on a stage.
But one day my life took a turn…multiple managers told me one skill made me different.
That skill was communication.
I started my company teaching communication skills to tech professionals because those skills jumpstarted my career to the TEDx stage.
Now … I want to share those secrets with you.
What makes me different:
If this sounds like you:
✘ Tired of losing opportunities from lack of confidence
✘ Frustrated with giving presentations that don’t feel great
✘ Overwhelmed with all the free advice and unsure where to start
✓ Aspiring to speak like the leaders and role models you admire
✓ Dreaming of people telling you what a great job you did with your talk
✓ Wanting a clear-cut system from someone who understands your field
Let’s work together!
