Twice a year our national community gathers in person, and last February we invited Chris Smith to deliver the Sunday morning keynote at our fly in. We often say the difference between inspiration and transformation is implementation. Chris delivered transformation. I saw it immediately in the conversations afterward and, more importantly, in the follow through: many members signed up for PSBLTY support shortly after the event. Since then, the day-to-day work of PSBLTY has continued to elevate our community and the firms we serve. We are genuinely grateful for Chris and his team, and we are excited to see where this partnership goes next.

Recently, we had Chris Smith come in and speak to about a hundred of our very top clients, all enormously accomplished in their respective fields—and very discriminating when it comes to keynote speakers, because they’ve heard everybody. They were blown away. I was blown away. Chris delivered in an unbelievable way. He was funny, he was personable, he was transparent, he was profound. He just has a way of speaking and connecting with people that honestly make them love him. I’ve never seen our clients take so many notes and be so engaged. So if you’re considering Chris for a keynote speaker, honestly, you couldn’t do better. Hire him. He’s awesome.

There are a lot of speakers in the financial space who have great content but weak delivery, and it causes people to check out. And then there are motivational speakers who are fun to listen to but are not rooted in much substance. Chris Smith is the rare combination of both. He draws you in, makes you hang on every word, and brings transparency and authenticity in a way I have not seen before. But it is also grounded in real depth, especially around leading yourself, possibility, and clarity in life and business. I am a big fan of Chris and what he stands for. If you have the chance to put him on your stage, expect one of the highest rated talks of your event and one that creates real impact for your audience.

I have had the pleasure of hearing Chris speak on a couple of occasions, including at the Income Management Conference. After more than three decades in financial services and hearing hundreds of speakers, I can confidently say Chris is on a different level. He is thoughtful, genuine, and clearly driven by a real desire to make a difference and help people transform. I intend to hire him to help me grow my practice and build my team because I cannot get enough of what he teaches. In my opinion, he is the best I have seen at leading people in financial services to elevate their lives, strengthen their teams, and create real impact.

A few years ago, I saw Chris Smith present at the CEG Roundtable Conference, and the energy in the room shifted immediately. You could feel the change in real time, and that experience stayed with me. When the timing was right, I hired PSBLTY this past year to coach my team, and the results have been nothing short of transformative. Chris’s work does not just motivate people. It moves them to act, collaborate, and think bigger than they were before. In my opinion, Chris is one of the most impactful voices on team engagement and leadership development today. If you are looking for lasting change, their approach truly delivers.
Master the art of consistently finding, attracting, and keeping affluent clients using our proven 5-step blueprint
There has never been a more compelling time for advisors to consider elevating their target audience. Moving Upmarket provides a strategic roadmap for advisors who want to attract and retain high and ultra high net worth clients.
Unlock the power of language and leadership to show up for clients and prospects in a way that sets you apart
That amazing “proprietary” investment methodology? Clients don’t care. That’s not just our opinion. The research is abundantly clear: individuals and families want more than PDFs and pie charts. They want connection and leadership.
Create an exponential leap in business results by leveraging the same performance mindsets used by the most successful athletes, artists, and leaders of all time
What separates the top 1% of advisors from everyone else? It’s not more advanced tools and products. It’s not more certifications. It’s not their pedigree or the country club they belong to. It’s how they think about every part of their business.
Stop forcing your clients to shop on price and unlock the secrets of moving from commoditization to preeminence
What happens when you look the same, sound the same, and act the same as every other advisor out there? You’re invisible. Your best-fit clients can’t find you, and even if they do, they won’t know it.
