About
He went looking for why some people get chosen.
Author, speaker, and personal brand expert who helps teams position and sell themselves — so people buy into them before they buy the offer.
Origin
He learned why some people get chosen — and others don’t.
Christian’s career spans four continents: helping students earn a seat in competitive admissions, coaching talent in HR, and working alongside high performers in finance and tech. Along the way he saw the difference between rooms where you prove you are qualified and rooms where someone has to pick you.
Influence isn’t reserved for people “born that way.” It’s a set of skills anyone can learn. He calls that skill set The Influence Mindset: capture attention, establish credibility, cultivate influence — so people buy into you before they buy from you.
He is the author of The Influence Mindset, a #1 bestseller ranked in LinkedIn’s Top 10 books on personal marketing, and of The Influence Mindset for Sales Acceleration, a #1 international bestseller.
He holds degrees from Brigham Young University and the London School of Economics. He is fluent in Korean. He is a pianist and composer, and a member of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. Music is how he teaches attention. Languages and travel are how he teaches listening.
“Your message, and more specifically, your personal brand, is your greatest tool to influence others to choose you.”Check availability
