About Chris Grimes
Motivational Comedian. Facilitator. Coach. Broadcaster.
‘The Good Listening To Show’ podcast host Chris Grimes has spent the past 25 years globetrotting, gaining a wealth of international experience as a much sought-after Executive Coach, helping business leaders and their teams at some of the world's biggest blue-chip companies to communicate better, at work and in life. From Bristol to Bangkok, Newcastle to New York and from Manchester to Milan, he has worked in 20 countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East, supporting over 3,000 professionals, improving their personal impact, presence, presentation techniques and storytelling skills.
Chris’s natural talent for bringing out the best in people flourished at drama school, then as an actor, comedy improvisation performer and, later, as a drama teacher and Artistic Director with the acclaimed comedy improvisation company, Instant Wit. His idol is Stan Laurel, of comic duo Laurel and Hardy fame – the inspiration perhaps for Chris’s very own quirky, warm sense of humour.
Transferring his business communication skills and stage experience to the recording studio, Chris is constantly surprised and delighted by the illuminating ‘Stories of Distinction and Genius’ his podcast guests feel able to share. Their rich life experiences and valuable business anecdotes are also broadcast on UK Health Radio where the podcast airs on Chris’s weekly show, reaching a further 1.3 million listeners in 54 countries.
