Speaker Bio

Eric Chester is a highly-sought keynote speaker and workshop leader covering such topics as workplace culture, employee engagement, leadership, and motivation. Since 2001, Eric Chester has been a renowned in-the-field workforce researcher and thought leader who studies, analyses, speaks and writes about managing, attracting, motivating, and retaining the best talent.

He is continuously referenced or interviewed in national and international media, including ABC 20/20, Good Morning America, Fox News, NPR, CNBC, USA Today, Forbes, and The Huffington Post.

Several of his five published books have become national blockbusters. Eric Chester has presented over 3000 keynote speeches for compensation on 3 continents. He is a Speaking Professional and was admitted into the prestigious Hall of Fame of the National Speakers Association in 2004.

Eric has found four common concepts for engaging today’s quickly changing workforce after interviewing more than a hundred highly regarded C-level executives from across all industries. You will see, through a very engaging multimedia presentation, how exceptional leaders create cultures that attract top people, stimulate creativity and collaborative thinking, and instill the ambition to surpass yesterday’s best. Based on the ground-breaking study in his new book On Fire at Work, business executives will gain novel, relevant, valuable, actionable solutions.

Eric has served as the keynote speaker at over 2500 Conferences for international and national corporations, including 7-Eleven, Allstate, NADA, Great Clips, McDonald’s, Wells Fargo, and Verizon.

On Fire at Work contradicts other publications on work culture by demonstrating that employee involvement is only the beginning, not the end. Eric Chester, a renowned authority on leadership, interviewed top-tier executives of the worldwide best places to work to find their best practices for motivating people to perform better, stay longer, and work harder. Fire at Work includes examples and unique anecdotes from interviews with more than 25 founders/presidents of firms /CEOs such as BB&T Bank, Hormel, Wegmans, Canadian WestJet, Marriott, and 7-Eleven.

Siemens The Container Store and  Ben & Jerry, as well as smaller companies such as the Nerdery, Build-A-Bear, and Firehouse Subs, are among some of the companies he has worked with.

Eric Chester demonstrates in Reviving Work Ethic that it is best to focus on your younger employees, whose habits and values are still malleable. He provides a penetrating analysis of the origins of the entitlement attitude that afflicts a significant portion of the rising workforce and demonstrates to readers the particular steps they may take to instil in their employees a solid commitment to producing good work.

Eric’s counsel is essential to a healthy bottom line: too often, gifted but challenging to grasp younger employees stand between your firm and earnings. If business owners, managers, and executives do not connect with them and demonstrate the essential components of work ethic, it is likely that employees will not connect effectively with consumers.

With the help of the Fully Staffed book, we will be able to streamline our hiring process, increase brand awareness through job advertisements, build a pipeline of qualified candidates ready to fulfill positions before they become vacant, and refine our hiring process so that these superstar employees stay with us for the long term.
