Chris Cummins delivering a keynote speech

7-time TEDx Speaker, Author, Inspiring Keynoter, TV Host of upcoming "Charged-Up Show" 

The world needs Chris’ energy and messaging more than ever!

He is Founder & CEO Cummins Media Inc, a boutique consulting firm for 19 years working with some of the largest organizations in for-profit and not-for-profit to improve their leadership & communication. These include BMW, FED-EX, Microsoft, Rideau Hall’s Governor General’s Office, Manulife Bank, Olympic Committee leadership team, Alamos Gold Mines, CIBC to name a few.

Using personal stories of adversity and human perseverance, he combines intelligent humour, character voices, high-level strategy and (sometimes if you ask nicely) beat-boxing to bring his training sessions to life. 

Every winter this father of 3 hockey players builds a skating rink in his backyard with his wife, Shelagh. And when not tying skates in a hockey arena or speaking at a conference, Chris is earning his helicopter pilot license for fun.

    Your talk for the MMI program today meant so much to me. I was nervous coming in, but you really put me at ease and got me excited for what’s ahead. I’m feeling much more confident now, and I’m grateful for all your advice and help. Thank you!

    I adore Chris. He's incredibly fun, genuinely cares about clients, and consistently delivers outstanding work. I've booked him multiple times before starting my own agency, always receiving rave reviews. He's also great at customizing content, so chatting directly with him can uncover even more value than his marketing materials convey.

    Chris - THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom, class, and technique with us at CAPS yesterday. You absolutely had the entire membership captivated. You couldn't hear a pin drop (metaphorically of course) and the response has been ah-maxing! What a great kick off to our conference!

  • Dustin Olson

    That conference was OFF THE CHAIN and KUDOS TO ALL for putting (and keeping) it all together to cross an epic finish line! Once our members started posting testimonials in the chat, I knew the doors were about to be blown off
