Chris Roebuck

Professor of Transformational Leadership, Accelerating Your Success

For over 30 years, Chris Roebuck has been helping leaders and their organisations to stop underperforming and stressing under the pressure of too much work and too little time, to overcome challenges, to inspire everyone to do their best and to work together to be even more successful. Chris' career didn't start in the corporate world, but as an officer in the British Army. Leading a team in dangerous, high-pressure environments, he quickly learned that success is about making the most of time, getting the best out of people and focusing on excellence. This elite training enabled him to help senior leaders become successful high performers at HSBC Investment Bank as Head of Management Development, UBS as Global Head of Leadership, London Underground as Head of Culture Change, KPMG and others. These experiences led him to realise that if you could get 30% more effort out of 60% of people, you could transform performance across the board. So Chris developed his human-centred "Accelerate Your Success" system to help leaders achieve more. Chris has helped over 24,000 leaders in 27 countries achieve more - from Huawei, BASF, Tata, the UK & UAE Prime Ministers Offices, Goldman Sachs and the NHS to the Red Cross, Reuters, the Chinese Space Programme and many others. And he has been named one of HR's Most Influential Thinkers 10 times in annual awards, is the BBC's "go to" business leadership expert and has been featured in Newsweek, FT, Wall St Journal, Business Week and other major publications. In his keynotes, he weaves together career insights, experience, business examples, data and neuroscience to provide actionable steps for achieving more. He uncovers hidden potential for greater success and leaves audiences with a personalised action plan to make it happen. Chris's keynotes enable his audience to build high performance teams, maximise employee engagement, create a culture of success and deliver change and transformation.
