Chris Grimes aka “The Confidence Rooster!”

Biography

Chris Grimes, aka “The Confidence Rooster!”, is a Motivational Comedian, Speaker, Broadcaster, Facilitator and Coach, with a training and background as a Drama Teacher, Actor and Comedy Improvisation Performer.

The Confidence Rooster was born from a happy comedy mis-hear of “The Confidence Booster”. Chris asks his audience one question: “What is it that you need to be more confident in, with or about?” Then it’s time to prepare for the freestyle (or the free range) as Chris sets intentions with the room and delivers content dynamically to boost confidence on the communication skills topics that matter most to them.

Chris draws on more than 30 years of multi-organisational experience as a Speaker, Facilitator and Coach, and is trusted by some of the world’s largest organisations, including JP Morgan, Barclays, Unilever, Equinix, Equifax, PwC Middle East and Marks and Spencer.

He runs the training and development company Second Curve and the Bristol-based comedy improvisation company Instant Wit, and hosts the podcast and radio show The Good Listening To Show: Stories of Distinction & Genius.
