A green industry speaker who understands your audience

Chris Heiler Green Industry Social Media Speaker

Chris Heiler has been part of the green industry for more than 15 years working in various sectors including retail, landscape management, landscape design/build and for seven years owned and operated a successful landscape design firm in west Michigan.

He is keenly aware of your unique audience's ambitions, customers, day-to-day challenges and what it means to be a part of the green industry.

Chris also knows what it's like when a presenter speaks over your head and misses the mark. He's sat through the "10 Ways to..." and "27 Things to..." presentations that are heavy on bullet points but light on concrete, actionable, take-home information.

Unlike these generic programs, Chris' presentations and workshops are made to stick. His goal is for participants to walk away with ideas that will stick with them beyond the parking lot--real world strategies that can revolutionize their businesses.


A speaker with a practical and pragmatic approach to social media

Social media is a complex and forever evolving topic that is slowly but surely being adopted by green industry businesses. Because most green industry companies are at different levels of expertise and experience, Chris creates his programs to appeal to the beginners in the crowd while at the same time appealing to the more advanced audience members.

Chris takes a no b.s. approach in discussing social media. Light on philosophy and theory, Chris aims for the practical and pragmatic, relying heavily on actual green industry case studies. He has the unique ability to synthesize the facts and give them context and perspective for your audience.

Chris enjoys speaking to large audiences for 60 to 90 minutes and is equally comfortable leading small groups in half-day and full-day interactive workshops. Each has a unique dynamic that excites and inspires him.

The audience was completely engaged. He was truly the best speaker at the show." Jody Shilan, Jody Shilan Landscape Design, Wycoff, NJ

"Chris has a wealth of knowledge about social media and shares it very effectively with his audience. I like the fact that he acts as an educator, not a salesman, and he has personal experience with most, if not all, the social media resources and strategies he recommends." Angela Hooper, Visual Elements Landscape Design, Dallas, TX
