Chester Elton Reviews

Chester Elton was a fantastic addition to our U.S. leadership discussion. He delivered a perfectly balanced culture-focused discussion that was both transformational and light hearted. Almost 1 month later and the leadership team is still talking about Chester! So good!

Our team loved Chester's presentation!

We had a terrific experience.
AbbVie - Jun 10 2022 -
Chester gave a wonderful presentation!
AtriCure - Jan 16 2020 -
Chester received a standing ovation and some participants approached me on how to schedule him for their individual hospital systems! From my perspective, I'd say that it was a grand-slam home-run to spearhead a cultural change initiative throughout our region. Chester's approach to combine strategy and tactics, supported by real-world studies was instrumental at not only gaining participant buy-in, but at inspiring our leaders and helping us formulate actionable plans moving forward. Changing the culture of any government agency can be a daunting task, but the concepts of "All In," "The Carrot Principle," and "What Motivates Me" can be combined to create a tool-box that all organizations can leverage to enhance organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Finally, Chester's technique proves that although building an "All-in" culture can be challenging, it also brings a wealth of opportunities for building relationships, recognizing people at all levels, and having fun in the process.
