Questions that
make good radio.
Use these, change them, or ignore them completely. They are here because producers ask for them and they save you a prep call.
- Your survey found ninety two percent of people believe they are capable of more than they are doing. Why do so few act on it?
- You wrote in Forbes that a leader who hesitates sets the ceiling for everyone watching. What does that look like day to day?
- You wrote in Inc. that self-doubt and a lack of ambition look identical from a manager’s chair. How does a leader tell the difference?
- You scaled a company 10x in two years and reached number three on the Inc. Regionals list of fastest growing companies in the Midwest. What do you attribute that growth to?
- Everyone is trying to solve retention with programs. You say that is the wrong end of it. What builds a culture that actually attracts talent in the first place?
- You talk a lot about developing people. Why does that matter so much to you, and what do most organizations get wrong about it?
- What does it actually look like to show someone they are valued, beyond the recognition programs most companies run?
- How have fear of failure and self-doubt shown up in your own life, and what changed?
- What is a comfort ceiling, and how does someone know they have hit one?
- You say confidence is not the absence of doubt. What is it then?
- Somebody listening is stuck on something they have wanted for years. Where do they start, and where can they get help?
What Chris Is Good For
Building a culture that attracts talent rather than just trying to retain it. Developing people, and why that matters more than most programs. Showing employees they are genuinely valued. Personal growth and getting unstuck, including fear of failure and self-doubt. And original data on what is actually holding people back.
He is comfortable with live, with call-ins, and with hosts who push. Short notice is usually fine, so ask.
The highest level of success is helping others become more.
