// SPEAKING
Talks for audiences who don't need another motivational speaker.
17 years selling across finance, professional services and digital. 10,000+ hours coaching the people in your audience. Featured on BBC One. I talk about stress, capacity, and the work that breaks high performers. No motivational fluff. Frameworks they'll use on Monday.
// What I Speak About
Four Topics. One Thread.
Everything I speak about ties back to one idea: high performance is finite, and the people running on it deserve better than platitudes about resilience.
Stress Capacity and Performance
How high performers sustain output without burning out. The finite reserve principle. Why most stress management advice fails the people who need it most. What actually works for teams running 50-hour weeks.
Keynote / WorkshopPhysical Readiness for High-Output Teams
Why physical capacity is the underrated lever for executive performance. What I've taught teams at DeepMind, Deloitte, BNP Paribas, and Spotify. Practical frameworks your people can apply the same week.
Keynote / WorkshopRunning as Stress Management
The science and practice of using endurance training to manage occupational load. Built from 17 years selling across finance, professional services and digital, and 10,000+ hours coaching professionals. Honest about what works and what doesn't.
Keynote / PanelFrom Credit Suisse to Coaching
The story behind Running Performance OS. What 17 years selling across finance, professional services and digital taught me about burnout, recovery, and the systems that actually work. Personal. Honest. The talk audiences quote back at me months later.

The People Who Book Me.
Booking a speaker is a risk. Here's what the people who've taken that risk on me have said about it.
If you're looking for dry, Chevy is not your coach. If you're looking for boring, he's not your speaker. If you're looking for something run of the mill, he's not your guy. If you're looking for passionate, energetic, personable, charismatic, kind, considered, unique and thorough — Chevy is the person you've been looking for. There's not a single client we wouldn't feel confident putting him in front of.

CEO, PUSH — placing Chevy with clients from Sainsburys to Spotify for 7 years
Chevy's coaching style is both captivating and enlightening. His ability to shed light on the complexities of mental wellbeing and offer actionable strategies has been instrumental in fostering a healthier, more resilient workforce. If you're seeking a coach with the charisma and insight to effect real change, hit Chevy up.

// About Chevy
I've Been in the Rooms Your Audience Works In.
I walked into Credit Suisse at 18 and spent 17 years selling across finance, professional services and digital. I know the cultures, the pace, and the cost. I also know what your speakers usually sound like to people in those rooms: too soft, too generic, or too far from the work.
Now I coach senior professionals in central London on how to perform sustainably. Over 10,000 hours of 1:1 work. Featured on BBC One alongside Prince William. Built a coaching system, Running Performance OS, that treats total life stress as training load.
What I bring to a stage is what I bring to a coaching room: honest frameworks, no fluff, and the credibility to land them in a room of executives who can spot a fake at fifty paces.
