Chris Hendricks
Raleigh, NC, USA
Inspiring speaker, performer, and singer/songwriter
With over 20 years as a professional speaker recording artist, Chris brings a dynamic, immersive energy to the stage, using music as a tool to deepen engagement, spark reflection, and create moments of shared humanity. Being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of 4 has given me a unique perspective on leadership, success, creativity and self-worth. Chris also speaks from lived experience as a person with a disability, offering a perspective on leadership, vulnerability, and inclusion that is both authentic and deeply relevant to today’s workplace. Rather than focusing on limitation, he challenges teams to rethink strength, adaptability, and connection—demonstrating how inclusive thinking drives stronger cultures, better collaboration, and sustainable performance. Whether addressing executives, HR leaders, or full organizations, Chris leaves audiences energized, grounded, and equipped with practical tools to lead with courage, and build trust.
