Signature talks

Four talks, each built to leave something behind.

Restart Your Race

Loss, failure and the restart nobody prepares you for. Chris tells the story of rebuilding after his wife's death and turns it into something a room can use on Monday: how to tell the difference between what happened to you and who you are, how to choose a next step when the old plan is gone, and how to keep moving before you feel ready.

Audience leaves with: a restart framework, and one decision made.

Mile 18

Endurance for teams. Every project has a middle — past the excitement, short of the finish, where most of the attrition happens. Chris uses the marathon and two decades of engineering leadership to show how teams hold form when motivation is gone.

Audience leaves with: a way to name and staff the hard middle.

Engineering Resilience

A systems engineer's view of human resilience. Redundancy, tolerance, failure modes, testing under load — Chris shows why the principles that make a detection system reliable are the same ones that make a person and an organization durable.

Audience leaves with: a design review for their own resilience.

Leading Through Loss

For HR and people leaders. What to do when someone on your team is grieving — and what not to do. The practical, human version, from someone who has been the grieving employee.

Audience leaves with: language and a short playbook.
