Supercharged Leadership works because Chris’s Accelerate Your Success roadmap brings the key drivers of leadership success together into one integrated system — each step building on the last to turn better leadership into supercharged performance.

Chris Roebuck has delivered over 40 corporate events and engaged speakers in his senior HR roles at HSBC and UBS so he understands what event organisers really need. That’s why he works closely with you to tailor his content to your key objectives and uses relevant imagery to create instant resonance and make his keynote a seamless part of your event.

Through interaction, delegates gain practical benefit before Chris’s keynote has even finished — potentially gaining around half a day a week and creating an audience list of actions to get the best from their people and personal actions to implement using the Accelerate Your Success roadmap. Afterwards a practical implementation guide helps turn inspiration into action and sustain behaviour change. Chris can also advise on strategies to optimise implementation and maximise post-event impact.

Chris has helped 37,000+ leaders across 31 countries, working with organisations including BASF, L’Oréal, Huawei, Tata Communications, KPMG and UBS, as well as the UK Prime Minister’s Office, UAE Prime Minister’s Office and the Chinese Space Corporation.

Leaders face relentless pressure to deliver more in a constantly changing environment. The problem is around 80% have never been given the leadership skills, to the depth they need, to perform at their full potential.

They get told WHAT to do but not HOW best to do it to be successful.

Chris’s proven Accelerate Your Success roadmap shows leaders just that, how to unlock their potential and turn it into results.

Through interacting with Chris, audiences discover how to:

  • Unlock 10%+ performance potential hidden in their experience
  • Potentially find ½ a working day a week more time
  • Improve delivery and focus effort onto key organisational priorities
  • Get up to 40% more effort from 60% of people by deepening engagement
  • Turn inspiration into practical action and Real ROI back at work
  • Start the journey from Business as Usual to the Business of the Future

 

The outcome: Your leaders leave with a clear, practical route to improve performance immediately, with the potential to add 10% to the bottom line.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
“I found what you said really interesting so I took notes to see what actions I can take.” – Thierry Garnier, CEO, Kingfisher Group – FTSE 100, 1800 DIY Stores, 7 counties

Leaders now face three simultaneous change challenges: constant day-to-day change, major strategic transformation and externally driven change from technology, regulation, markets and world events.

Yet few have ever been shown HOW to lead change effectively. Precisely why 80% of change initiatives fail to deliver the impact planned.

Using his Accelerate Your Success roadmap, Chris shows leaders how to create the environment in which change will succeed rather than relying on downward communication and trial and error which.

Through interacting with Chris, audiences discover how to:

  • Build the foundations for successful change
  • Identify the key factors determining whether change succeeds or fails
  • Move people successfully through the Adopter Curve
  • Engage people to build the critical mass needed for change to succeed
  • Deal effectively with unexpected challenges along the journey
  • Use Entrepreneurial Leadership to move from Business as Usual to the Business of the Future

 

The outcome: Smoother, faster and more sustainable change, with practical actions your leaders can use immediately.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
“Chris worked with our executive leaders on the key event outcomes, merging two divisions into one. His engaging keynote aligned to our themes, developed entrepreneurial thinking and set up implementation — exactly what we wanted.” – Andrea McCarthy, Global HR Director, ECMS, BASF

Conferences generate great ideas, insights and energy — but too often delegates return to work and Business as Usual takes over losing their value

Chris is often asked to deliver a powerful closing keynote which connects the event’s key themes and combines them with delegates’ own experience through his Accelerate Your Success roadmap. Or an opening keynote to set the scene for turning ideas into action.

Through interacting with Chris, delegates identify:

  • The ideas from the conference that matter most to them
  • What those ideas mean in their own organisational context
  • The practical actions they can personally take afterwards
  • How to turn conference inspiration into improved performance and ROI
  • How their actions can cascade through their teams and organisation

 

The outcome: Delegates leave not simply inspired, but with a practical route to turn the event’s ideas into action and measurable impact back at work.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
“Chris came highly recommended and more than delivered. His closing keynote was outstanding in pulling together the strands of the Congress and giving the audience relevant, thought-provoking and practical takeaways.” – Ian McGarrigle, Chairman, World Retail Congress

AI offers enormous potential, but technology alone does not deliver business value. Successful implementation depends on leaders creating the human environment in which people understand, adopt and use AI effectively.

Chris focuses on the leadership side of AI — combining the potential of technology with the Human Intelligence, capability and behaviour needed to turn implementation into results.
Chris help the audience understand why “AI will never be effective without HI”, Human Intelligence.

Chris also chairs the Advisory Board for the MSc in People Analytics and Human-Centric Management at UCL School of Management, giving him an additional perspective on the intersection of people, data, technology and leadership.

Through interacting with Chris, audiences discover how to:

  • Create the leadership environment for successful AI adoption
  • Build trust, engagement and confidence around new technology
  • Develop the human capability needed to use AI effectively
  • Maintain human judgement, ownership and accountability
  • Connect AI implementation to strategic priorities and business value
  • Ensure technology enhances rather than undermines human performance

 

The outcome: Leaders understand how to combine AI’s potential with the human leadership required for successful adoption, implementation and sustainable business impact.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
“AWESOME! Thanks for bringing your unique perspective. Developing Human Intelligence and Capability are key to successful AI implementation!” – Jon Clay, Chairman, Chief Digital Officers Institute
