Chris Roebuck, Leadership for a new world, Human Resources
Biography
The key challenge you face is to make your event memorable and an experience people talk positively
about afterwards. But to be truly special and unforgettable you have to ensure the audience can take
the great ideas they have heard and use them to make themselves more successful, to leave your eventand make a real difference for themselves, their team and organisation. That’s what I will deliver for you ‐ an inspiring simple practical road map for success they can use back at work tailored to the key themes of your event and the challenges your audience have.
After 35 years unique experience as a leader in business, government and military plus my role as Visiting Professor of Transformational Leadership, I know what will deliver success and what doesn’t ! As an example after my keynote for his top 120 leaders the CEO of a global division of a US pharma said :
“This was an amazing presentation that absolutely resonated really well with what we are about at BD and with what I an trying to do with the leadership team. Your message was so crisp, so clear, so easy to understand, so relatable.
Your message resonated so much to be a true enabler to help us create value for the business going forward using some of your great examples. It was fantastic. Thank you for your insights and message we can use so well.”
The content was tailored with the organizer to show, in an inspirational way, how the audience could go and meet the specific challenges they faced after the event. This is proven to work for any event where people are given great ideas which they want to go and make a reality afterwards, it works for any individual, any team, any organization, anywhere.
This inspiring call to action is a great way to end, or even open, any event.
There are virtually no other speakers globally who have this powerful combination of insights which allows me to give audiences not theories, not models, not complex ideas but simple actions anyone can take every day that boost the power of their own experience to deliver success.
It has inspired audiences from CEOs and Finance Directors in London to Red Cross leaders in Myanmar, from 50 senior retail leaders at the Yale Club in NYC to 300 telecoms leaders in Oman, from 50 Chinese Space Programme leaders in Beijing to 120 top leaders of a US pharma in Madrid, from 1000 leaders from the global home improvement industry in Stockholm to 600 members of the Project Management Institute in Dubai, from 30 senior leaders in the UAE Prime Ministers office to 200 SME leaders and entrepreneurs in Bermuda. It has even been used by serving military officers with their teams on operational duties.
This isn’t soft generalities it is founded on proven hard data. Examples of benefits are :
• Get 30% more effort from 60% of people
• Improve effectiveness of implementation by 30%+
• Reduce the risk of talent loss to competitors by up to 87%
• Reduce time spent on activity not critical to success by 20%
• Add 10 ‐ 20% onto bottom line at no cost
More generally
• Maximize performance through engaged team members, colleagues and employees
• Better customer service through everyone caring about
• Making change and transformation successful
• Every employee a proactive brand ambassador
• Proactive seeking out innovation and opportunities to be more entrepreneurial
• Boosting cost efficiency
• Optimizing risk management.
My feedback shows that this simple practical approach, based on over 260 studies, delivers results irrespective of culture, location, sector or audience age ‐ it is truly global. It’s based on 2 simple principles ‐ get the best from everyone and focus that onto what delivers success. This is proven to work and is based on my experience of making this happen in many sectors, one of which, in a top global organization, is now a Harvard Case Study. I always tailor content in detail for the client and also make sure that I stay at the event for the rest of that day after speaking, including dinners where appropriate, so that audience members ask me questions.
Helping people, especially leaders, lead better has been my life from my military service onwards. My first book on leadership was translated in to 11 languages, my 2014 book “Lead to Succeed” has been used as a handbook for leaders around the world and I am the co ‐ author of the first book to focus on strategic leadership development. My thoughts as a business expert have been quoted globally in Forbes, the Harvard Business Review China, FT, Wall Street Journal, Le Monde, New York Times, Business Week, Time Magazine, Washington Post, Times of India, Straits & Gulf Times and many other titles, plus over 350 TV interviews on BBC channels, Sky, Bloomberg, Al Zazeera, ITV, CNBC & CNN. My peers in the HR profession have been kind enough to honor me with being recognised as one of the Most Influential HR Thinkers regularly in the HR Magazine annual awards since 2010, including 2018.

Thanks Chris. Your presentation to our leadership group was very much appreciated, and you sparked off lots of conversations and thoughts during the remainder of the conference.

Audience of over 200 senior Greek and international HR and business leaders. Comment from HR Director of major organisation.
Chris Roebuck was amazing. Very realistic approach and effective. We wanted more examples of how to apply it to the organizations which he gave. I wish I was a all day masterclass sometime, with more concrete examples from his experience.
