Human Business Works is a business design company, providing publishing and media products dedicated to helping professionals like you (anyone from a solo business to a very passionate part of a bigger company) understand how to do business your way, provided that way is relationship-minded, interested in delivering great value for your client or customer, and want to do this in a much more interesting way than the status quo.
Over the years, Chris and team have spoken and worked with companies like Disney, Microsoft, Citrix Online, Molson/Coors, Dell, Comcast, Google, GM, Gannett, Hearst, Scotts, Titleist, Pepsico, Humana, Build-a-Bear, Coldwell Banker, UPS Store, Sony, Panasonic, Coca Cola, and more. He has keynoted several hundred wonderful conferences. In all cases, we’ve told a similar story in different ways and with related emphasis.
We preach what we call the Human Business Way:
- Brave Now – this is about goal setting, confidence, and self-expression
- The Works – we’ll share what we know about business basics, and help you learn to love the grind.
- Tell Bigger Stories – how can you communicate better and motivate people?
- The Impact Equation – not just a great book, but a perspective on how to build a platform of value.
- Service Craftsmanship – how do relationships improve your business?
We deliver this via online courses, publications, and in-person speeches and training. What sets our work apart is that it’s built with the real world in mind, has a lot of value-added material beyond just the basics of helping you pick up the skills you seek, and we provide a lot of contact and interaction to make sure you get all that you need.

A Brief Bio
May I pause and say something about bios? They always sound so arrogant and pompous. They are this moment in time where we’re supposed to brag about ourselves so that you think we’re worth your time.I’m worth your time. If you’re stuck having to read this to a crowd at a conference where I’m keynoting, hopefully, this will be easier
