Speaker. Trainer. Mentalist.

Captivating Corporate Audiences; Transforming Teams

Hi, I’m Christopher Carter

— and my career is fueled by an unshakeable fascination with the power of communication.

From as far back as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by the idea of entertaining and connecting with audiences. I’ve always been drawn to the subtle ways people communicate without uttering a word. That passion for acting and nonverbal communication set the stage for my academic journey.

While working on a PhD in Theater from the University of Michigan, I honed my ability to break down complex ideas into simple, engaging concepts that anyone could grasp. But teaching in the traditional sense wasn’t the path for me. In 1990, I packed up and moved to Chicago, where I launched my 34-year career as a mentalist.

My performances on college campuses earned me a great reputation, and I eventually created a lecture program focused on body language and nonverbal communication. But the more I performed, the more I realized that the skills I used to captivate audiences could also transform workplaces. So, I developed a corporate program that taps into the power of body language, especially in sales and customer service.

Since then, I’ve been making a lasting impact in corporate environments by blending my background in entertainment with psychology-driven business strategies. And I’d love to bring that same transformation to your team.

I believe in the transformative power of storytelling. The best corporate entertainers use humor, fun, and actionable strategies to engage teams and help them grow. And that’s exactly what I do.
