Keeping you awake at night?

My engagement scores are heading south

My people don’t take responsibility for this business

We’ve got a culture change to deliver and I see it as a bigger opportunity

My sales guys always come up with the same answers

I am bored and so is my team

I want my business to be more human, more alive, more real

I want them all to feel like one team

We need to be more customer centric

We have a conference happening and it looks a lot like last years

We could all do with a bit more energy

We’ve got to think bigger

  • Some of the energisers are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

  • Chris Baréz-Brown’s presentation style sparkled and inspired our team to think differently. His unique and powerful insights have the ability to transform any organization.

    Derek Kent, Chief Marketing Officer, Canadian Olympic Committee
  • Chris’s book is a champagne-in-the-veins tonic for jaundiced people who desire to revive the technicolour from a monochrome life. I heartily recommend it.

    Tim Smit, co-founder and CEO of The Eden Project
  • Coached a guy for 1.5 hours, had 250 people working for him. Within 2 weeks had 14,000 following my approach.

  • Did a capability project, took 2 years, added $1bn dollars to the sale price of the company

  • Elvis has now become a term in our business. Either, ‘have you been Elvis’d’, ‘that is very Elvis’ or ‘I’m feeling quite Elvis today’. They have had a massive impact on all the individuals

    Simon Daglish, Group Commercial Director ITV
  • Let Chris Barez-Brown be your idea guru!

    Ken Blanchard, Co-author of the one minute manager
  • Trained someone in Nike for 2.5 days, it cost 1.5k. Next week used learning to invent Nike 10k, became run London, became Run the World where 960,000 took part.

  • Without doubt, Chris has been the most creative influence in my life. I come away from every meeting feeling like I’ve been through the spin cycle and far better for it!. Chris has the wonderful natural ability to make my creative juices flow every time we meet. I leave having had a good belly laugh and with my brain buzzing. We should bottle him!

    Caroline Whaley, GM Creative Development, The Nike Foundation
  • The guys are exceptionally good at what they do. I was making a list of the most influential people or things in my career and this was in the top 3.

    Chris Binns, Managing Partner MediaCom
  • absolutely inspiring book, love it!

    Elisabeth Spenger
  • A lot of the motivation ideas and support to transform the commercial team has come from Upping Your Elvis.

    Fru Hazlitt, Managing Director, Commercial and Online, ITV
  • Chris Barez-Brown is a modern day prophet.  He has a gift … an uncanny ability to inspire change agents in my organization.   Everything he touches turns to gold and shines ever so brightly.   He is our Elvis.

    Keith Wilmot – The Coca-Cola Company
  • Shine is a bright source of energy and ideas that will help you make the most of yourself.

    Ken Robinson, author of The Element: How finding your passion changes everything
  • Apart from the very insightful content and great techniques I thought the delivery was the best I’ve ever seen – very human and hilarious (and I have high comedy standards ;-) )

    Olivia Diamond, Commercial Progamme Manager, Diageo
  • It’s not the instrument that makes the music, it’s the player. So much emphasis in the world of innovation and creativity is placed on process, tools and techniques. Chris fully understands it’s the people who make the magic not the structure. Chris is a master at bringing out the creative spark in people to turn dust into something that matters, so that in the words of John Lennon, “We all shine on.”

    John Van Vleck, Global Director, Insights, Ideas and Creativity The Coca-Cola Company
  • Upping your Elvis have brought creativity into the heart of everything we do at ITV. They do it in an incredibly engaging fun style which is infectious.

    Kelly Williams, Sales Director ITV
  • Chris leads the most amazing, inspiring, and self-changing events. They’ve had a profound impact in my life and on my work. He has the uncanny ability to help individuals and companies change – change for the better, more profitable, more joyful. Chris helped me discover my real talents and desires. Working with him has changed my life.

    Jeff Semenchuk, Chief Innovation Officer at Hyatt Hotels Corporation
  • Having an app that brings some randomness into the day. Brilliant idea.

    Mediababy
  • So much big talk about transformation… Chris actually delivers it. Time and again. Part art, part gift, part crazy man. He works his magic every time!

    Maria Eitel – Founder and President of the Nike Foundation
