About Chris

“Listen ~ Connect ~ Engage” are my three core beliefs around Social Media. By first listening to understand and appreciate your audience, natural win-wins often emerge that serve to build rich, meaningful and lasting relationships.

I am an Oakville-based parent with two grown children and, according to others to whom I’m eternally grateful, a widely-recognized educator on numerous social platforms including Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and Snapchat.

Since the early days of Facebook (2004) I continue to believe in and witness the potential of Social Media. In a typical week during the school year you will find me in a school gym, auditorium, corporate venue or conference inspiring people to take what they do every-day online, and emphasize it through the lens of gratitude, integrity, clarity and intention. The potential, growth and benefits that Social Media apps and platforms provide are enormous.

But along with the benefits comes sizeable risk, chiefly that of self-worth and the need to be validated as “being enough” in the world via ‘Likes’ and other subjective acknowledgment mechanisms.

Eighteen years teaching the benefits of social media, and 700,000 school, corporate and non-profit participants later, I relish inspiring individuals to realize their digital potential with a positive, interactive and mindful experience that delivers consistent, joyful results.
