Profile

Chris Bentley's story is one of grit, tenacity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. As a former professional rugby player, he not only graced the turf with enviable dedication, but also with an intellectual engagement with the sport. He has locked horns with international legends across the world and fought for championships, learning the lessons of resilience, collaboration, and adaptation in the process.

 

But Chris's insights extend beyond the world of sport. His profound understanding of team dynamics and performance psychology is enriched by his work post-rugby, which includes his own entrepreneurial ventures. 

 

​

His poignant observation—"Your mindset is the lens through which you see the world and interpret events; it's the foundation of every success and every failure"—is not just a catchphrase but a philosophical cornerstone derived from decades of high-stakes experiences. Chris' role as an MC comes with an unparalleled blend of eloquence and gravitas, a combination designed to set the stage for transformative dialogue and self-discovery whether among our own roster of speakers or to compliment yours.

What to Expect

When Chris Bentley takes to your stage as MC, the event takes on a life of its own. His meticulous preparation involves extensive conversations with your chosen speakers, understanding their key messages, and integrating them into the overarching narrative of the event. An absolute natural at reading the room, Chris combines his sports-inspired leadership skills with the timing of a seasoned performer. He understands the nuances of pace and mood, knowing when to inject humour to lighten the atmosphere, when to add a dash of banter or when to underscore the gravity of a speaker's message through thoughtful reflection. His dynamic range adds a layer of complexity that enriches each gathering, elevating it from a mere event to an experience that stimulates the intellect and engages the soul.
