2022 EMERGE Keynote Speakers
CHRIS CLEWS
Luncheon Keynote: Chris Clews
Chris Clews is a speaker and author of the book series What 80s Pop Culture Teaches Us About Today’s Workplace. Growing up in the 80’s and with over 20 years of experience in corporate marketing he knew two things very well – 80’s pop culture and business. So he combined the two. He’s spoken to a diverse set of organizations and companies, including Visa, DHL, University of Florida, UPenn Medicine, WIFS (Women in Insurance and Financial Services), DisruptHR and more. He's a frequent guest on podcasts with topics ranging from workplace culture to 80s pop culture and he has been referenced or interviewed in numerous publications such as Entrepreneur.com and Esquire UK magazine. He lives by the quote from the poet laureate Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

It’s Hard, You’re Stressed, You Might Be A Mess: How To Keep Your Cool In Stressful Situations
What do you do when you find yourself in a heated debate at work? What about when that coworker says the one thing that’s over the line? Or how about when absolutely nothing is working the way you thought it would be? The solution is not to yell, “You’re an idiot!” and storm away. If you look online, it seems more and more people are losing their cool. At work, in the store, at the airport… everywhere! This session will give you tools, and tips on how to manage those high conflict, high stress, high stakes situations. We’ll explore how to be a better advocate for yourself, how to be a better bystander for others, and how to navigate some common workplace situations. You’re sure to learn, to laugh, and to work it out in this morning keynote session. More about Coach Colene
