Chris leads the most amazing, inspiring, and life-changing events. They’ve had a profound impact on 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. He is a born-entertainer, a natural, he always knows what is needed. Working with him has changed my life.
Chris Baréz-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.
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 ;-))
Chris’ interactive, energetic and playful style works every time at every level. What he demonstrates is a totally human approach to living our lives, inspiring teams to think differently and creating great impact, who wouldn’t want that?
THE CHRIS BARÉZ-BROWN JOURNEYAfter starting his career in the army, realising he was a
lover rather than a fighter, Chris took a u’turn into brand management before immersing himself into the world of
innovation and leadership development.
Chris’s consultancy, Upping Your Elvis, is inspired by musician and philanthropist Bono’s signature question ‘who’s Elvis round here?’ meaning ‘Who’s the maverick
around here? Who makes things happen?’
Upping Your Elvis are driven by the belief that everyone has a bit of Elvis inside them, and by unleashing this
innate human, energetic genius the planet will be a more engaged and fulfilling place for everybody.
Chris’s work has featured in media such as The Guardian, The Sunday Times and Fast Company, and he writes
monthly columns for GQ magazine, The Huffington Post and British Airways’ Business Life.
Chris lives in Dorset, England, with his family, two dogs, a beautiful sea view and his beloved 35 year old Land Rover.
