We all have a hidden speaker inside of us. It’s my job to help you discover yours.
I’m a techie-turned leadership communication coach. I previously worked for Fortune 500 tech companies like Thermo Fisher Scientific, Humana, and Fannie Mae in the specialties of data journalism, data science, data visualization, and business intelligence. Each time, I saw extremely talented colleagues struggle to get the opportunities they deserved because they couldn’t present, tell a story, and speak with confidence.
I realized it was my calling to bridge that gap.
Now I work as Founder & CEO of The Hidden Speaker, a training consultancy that puts tech professionals on the path to confident communication. In a poetic full circle, I’ve returned to Fortune 500 companies to train their technical teams with highly specialized communication workshops, as well as taught for companies and universities around the world.
As a speaker, coach, and trainer, my work has helped thousands demonstrate leadership through communication, and I am passionate about convincing every introverted, techie out there that they, too, can bring out their hidden speaker.

“I had the pleasure of inviting Christopher to MinneAnalytics Data Tech in June of 2023. He was able to make a lasting impression with his two presentations.
The first was a workshop to help other speakers at the event give better talks, something that is notoriously hard for data and analytics folks. I attended this talk with nearly 40% of our other speakers to learn how to better structure a talk and keep the audience engaged. As a seasoned public speaker, even I found that I had several points to take away and immediately put to use in my future talks.
The second presentation was to the general audience of the conference to help them become better data storytellers. This talk was both highly anticipated (we had it in our biggest room) as well as well attended. MinneAnalytics surveys attendees after the conference and Christopher’s talk was mentioned several times as a crowd favorite.
I’d highly recommend Christopher to level up your speaking and presentation game whether with a small or large audience. He clearly tailors his content to deliver exactly what they need!”

“I highly recommend Christopher Chin as a speaker for conferences and events, particularly in the field of Data Storytelling. I had the chance to see his professionalism, adaptability, and skills at the RVATech Data & AI Summit last week, where his talk exceeded expectations and left a lasting impact on the audience.
His thorough preparation and extensive knowledge of the subject matter were evident throughout the presentation. Christopher effortlessly engaged the audience by incorporating a personal story, making the talk more relatable. Regular interaction with the audience, including asking for input and incorporating humor, created an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere.
What impressed me the most was Christopher’s ability to connect with attendees and maintain their interest from start to finish. His engaging style and captivating delivery kept everyone fully engaged. It was clear that he understood the audience’s needs and tailored his presentation accordingly.
Christopher was also responsive to questions during the proposal phase and showed flexibility and openness to feedback, ensuring the talk was relevant to the theme and expected audience. Per our committee request, he graciously modified his talk to include a demo on how AI can be used to improve a story.”
