purchase a copy of his book. Its worth the
investment.”

Hi Chris, I am really impressed with you at the networking
session! You share your thoughts and experience seriously but
yet you are able to make the conversation fun and engaging.
Your entrepreneurial journey strikes a chord within our hearts.
The idea of taking a leap of faith into the entrepreneurship is
pretty much a roller coaster ride, which many of us are fearful of
because of the uncertainties involved.
Your unwavering heart and commitment
towards your goal gave us inspirations
and courage to chase after our own
dreams. It was a short session that we
had and I am definitely looking to hear more from you soon!

with tonnes of positive energy that you will
definitely have a fun conversation with.

Had the very good fortune to attend Chris' seminar on
succeeding with LinkedIn. Chris is an engaging presenter, very
knowledgeable and good fun. The time flies by as he shines a
light on the substantial opportunities that exist through the
LinkedIn platform. He's got a mint mohawk and is a snappy
dresser.
If you get the chance to attend a workshop then do yourself a
favour and get there. So many executives and companies, large
and small are completely missing in action on LinkedIn, don't be
one of them. Chris can help!

Chris’s book “Linkedin Mastery for
Entrepreneurs” is very helpful and a
must-read for anyone seriously willing to use
LinkedIn capabilities to its full potential.
Through the book, he illustrates his
recommendations making them easy to
implement for everyone thanks to numerous
examples. Best of all, he has successfully
applied everything he preaches. If you want
to learn using Linkedin in the age of social

I attended Chris' LinkedIn Workshop for Entrepreneurs
yesterday and learnt a great deal about marketing,
branding and how to use Linkedin even more effectively
in my business.
He was energetic, funny and engaging. He shared
insightful and practical tips with a great sense of
humour. He was generous with his time and knowledge.
His team was friendly and helpful. Chris' presentation
deck was in my mailbox by the end of the day.
Wonderful way to spend my morning learning from the
Master Linkedin Marketeer! Came away inspired to do
better with my own Linkedin profile, his bestselling book
and a cool black Rockstar profile t-shirt!
Highly recommend this workshop while Chris is still
running it! Small group setting and amazing super value!

I've known Chris for many years, and only recently
did I attend his rockstar workshop. I wish I'd done
this long ago, as it highlighted what an absolute
expert he is in his field, and how much most people
don't know about this side of social media. Not to
mention Chris' ability to share his depth and
breadth of knowledge which he does in a very
engaging fashion. He also made sure that every
single person that attended got plenty of nuggets of
information useful to their own position and
business. I highly recommend engaging Chris and
look forward what he brings to the table in the
future.

I envy Chris that he gets to spend all day on LinkedIn -
but it makes him a rather excellent trainer. I doubt
there are many people who know more about the
platform than him - even those who work there!
I have a LinkedIn profile that is a reasonably complete,
but I wanted to just give it a bit more polish. The tips
from Chris were not only about adding polish but
made you think much more about how different parts
of the profile appears on different platforms and in
different contexts and how to gain maximum benefit.
Plus, he gives tips on how "play" the system a little, to
give you more of an edge.
And he does this succinctly and with humour. I really
enjoyed the training session.

Recently I had the chance to interview Chris J for my radio

ways to give my Linked In some real MOJO. He is simply,
awesome. This guy knows his stuff. It was such a fun,
informative and super impactful show that it easily sits
amongst our top 10. His suggestions are already paying off
in our own personal brand marketing activities. He is the

“Mohawks and business don’t go together”. Is what I used to
think until I met Chris. Don’t let the surface level façade fool
you there’s lots of business going on under the “mohawk
hood”. I learnt more about LinkedIn in 5 minutes with Chris
than I have in the last 5 years of trying it myself. For instance,
who knew my photo was only showing to my personal
network? Seems obvious now to untick the box. The guy is a
weapon when it comes to Linkedin. Chris knows his stuff and
can “weaponize” your Linkedin profile for you. If you’re
thinking of signing up with him, Do IT!

Marketers usually promise to think out of the box,
to help you make your service look remarkable in
the eyes of the customer, and to differentiate
your product from competitors. But they
themselves are still in the box, unremarkable and
undifferentiated.
Well, Chris clearly walks the talk on marketing –
and you can see that just by looking at him. But
his marketing prowess goes beyond the mohawk.
Chris also mixes the soft skills of creativity with
the hard skills of running an effective business.
Don't decide on engaging a marketer until and
