Meet Christopher D. Connors

My mission is to help you and your organization achieve your biggest goals by using emotional intelligence and an action-oriented approach to leadership to your advantage. I accomplish this through keynotes, team-building events, executive coaching, consulting, trainings and writing.

I'm the author of three bestselling leadership books, including The Champion Leader, which was ranked as one of the top leadership books of 2024. Emotional Intelligence for the Modern Leader is one of the top selling emotional intelligence books in the world, and Book Authority ranks it #1 on its list of best emotional intelligence books of all-time. The Value of You has helped thousands of people reinvent themselves by living a positive, values-based life and career.  My writing has appeared on CNBC, World Economic Forum, Virgin, Thrive Global and Medium. I've appeared on award-winning podcasts and regularly make TV appearances on FOX, ABC and more.

I believe in servant leadership and The Golden Rule—helping others, putting their needs first and treating others the way I’d like to be treated. I also believe in having fun along the way and mixing in some humor to keep us on our toes! I lead from the heart and genuinely want you and your organization to experience championship success and enduring happiness.

I received my Bachelor's degree from Hobart College and earned my Master's degree from the University of Georgia with a focus on Leadership and Organizational Theory. I live in beautiful Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. You'll catch me on the weekends coaching my sons' youth sports teams and enjoying life with my family at the beach. We live to travel, learn, grow and love. We treasure special time spent with one another, whether that's playing baseball or enjoying the simple things in life on a sunny, blue sky day.
