Keynote clients describe Chris’s “powerful content” that “generates talkability across the organization” and that “will stick for years to come”. Chris has identified five ways of thinking differently. He calls them “Start from Zero”.

They are fundamentally different than our default ways of thinking. Some of these methods were used by Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci. Disruptive startups use this thinking to reshape the future. So should you.
