Chris Welton

In this unforgettable keynote, Chris Welton brings to life the gripping journey behind One Jordan—his revolutionary strategy to connect with elite performers by sending a single Jordan sneaker and a handwritten note. What began as a daring idea soon evolved into a catalyst for meaningful dialogue, mentorships, and high-impact collaborations with some of the most influential individuals in business and leadership.

Through immersive storytelling, Chris takes the audience behind the scenes of his journey—laying bare the courage, creativity, and vulnerability required to step into unconventional spaces. He dissects the mindset shifts needed to approach gatekeepers and influencers with confidence, and shares the pivotal moments that shaped the trajectory of his connections. More than just a tale of networking, this session becomes a masterclass in being unforgettable.

Attendees will walk away inspired to disrupt their own routines, empowered to create their own signature approach to relationship-building, and equipped with real tools to break through noise, build authentic bonds, and take their professional presence to the next level.
