Biography

Lieutenant Commander Chip Lutz, CSP is a leader who’s been there, done that, and has the uniform to prove it!

Leadership is my passion. As a leadership keynote speaker, my goal is to give your team tools they can put into action immediately. My leadership presentations are packed with content, tempered with humor and as interactive as your crowd can handle. What sets me apart as a leadership speaker is that I’ve actually led. From handing the chaos on six Naval bases in Washington, DC during September 11th, 2001 to my two Command tours while in the Navy (and a lot of jobs in between), I’ve been in the trenches and know what it takes to move a team from one place to another.

Plus, I’m funny. WHAT!? A funny leadership speaker? YES! Just ask me, I’ll tell you.

Books? Yes, I’ve written five (only four that I’m proud of…the first one was a dog (we can talk about that one over a beer)). They’re available on Amazon or can be rolled into a package if you bring me in to share leadership strategies with your team. They, too, are packed with content and are tempered with humor (and make an awesome gift for people you truly care about). My Mom has all of them and raves to all of her friends about how smart her favorite son is.

Theory is nice but application is what works. I know both. When you’re thinking about bringing a leadership speaker in, you obviously have something you’re looking to get done. I want to help you get that done and will work with you in advance to get all the information before the program so that we hit the target together and everyone wins.

As a side note…(written in third person to make me sound cooler):

Chip has earned the Certified Speaking Professional® (CSP) designation. Conferred by the National Speakers Association, the CSP is the speaking profession’s international measure of professional platform competence.

Only 12 percent of the 5,000 + speakers worldwide, who belong to the Global Speakers Federation, currently hold this professional designation.

Chip knows what it takes to connect, inspire, and keep people engaged!  He has been fire tested and is mother approved!

GET PAST THE CRAP! LEAD YOURSELF FIRST, BOUNCE BACK, GET IT DONE!

Leading isn’t all cotton candy and lollipops! Most of the time, we’re handed a big bag of crap and expected to make things happen. It can be stressful, it can be taxing and it can keep us from enjoying what (should be) a good day. If you want to lead others, you have to lead yourself first. We are no good to our teams if we’re not running at our optimum and are weighed down by all the crap that gets thrown at us. This fun and energetic program shares the 7 habits that resilient leaders consistently do to lead themselves first, get past the crap and create environments where their teams flourish.

Your leaders will leave this program with tools they can implement immediately to reduce their stress, connect better with their teams and bounce back when life kicks them in the backside.

9/11 AND BEYOND: LESSONS LEARNED IN TRYING TIMES

September 11th, 2001 was a gorgeous day in Washington, DC. Within 2 hours of getting to work and meeting with my team, everything changed. Not only for us but for everyone in America. On that day and the months that followed, I learned a lot about myself and the people around me about courage, commitment, and the ingenuity of Americans that have a purpose and want to make a difference. They are lessons any leader can use to lead better, get more done, and leave a legacy.

LEADING UNCONVENTIONALLY
