Workshop
With Kenny Chapman
In Kenny’s session, he will help you understand the critical importance of becoming a vulnerable leader and walk you through the steps involved in developing this skill. In the past, most leaders have held the belief that they need to “have it all figured out” and avoid making mistakes out of fear of perceived weakness. As the world progresses, however, current and prospective team members actually value a leader who isn’t afraid to be transparent, communicate relentlessly, listen to feedback, and shed the façade of perfection. Kenny will give you the keys to building trust through transparency in your company, techniques for leading sustainable growth, and a heightened awareness of why it’s so urgent to become a vulnerable leader.

5:00 PM ET
Chris joined The Blue Collar Success Group in early 2018 as a success coach, and has since offered extensive knowledge about every facet of the in-home services – pricing, planning, budgeting marketing, recruiting, training, and showing clients how they can transform their businesses into revenue generators. His journey through the industry began at age 16 as an apprentice electrician and, after just eight months, was promoted to lead technician. It was the tipping point for what would be his vast resume as a successful owner, supervisor and business coach.
Chris in 2005 joined a residential electrical company in Atlanta, and was quickly promoted to a supervisor responsible for 18 trucks and producing more than $4 million in revenue. He moved to Sarasota, Fla. in 2008 and served as a business coach for a large electrical company helping franchisees achieve success, like the “Million Dollar Award” he won in Georgia for producing $1.4 million in revenue. Chris, from 2010 to 2012, coached various plumbing, electrical and HVAC businesses for the franchisor and eventually oversaw the coaching team for more than 90 locations nationwide.
He then shifted to owning an electrical business, growing the company in a four-year span from 10 trucks to 60, five locations and generating $18 million. Chris ultimately sold his shares of the company to join The Blue Collar Success Group.
Denise is a recognized expert within the in-home service industry. She also served as a Six Sigma Black, which is associated with techniques and tools for process improvement, for the first in-home service company to ever implement that methodology. Her first project yielded a $12 million return in incremental revenue.
Denise began her career in the call center of her father’s HVAC business, where she rose to become the owner and general manager. The business, through her leadership, was sold and she stayed on as regional sales manager for what became one of the largest home service companies in North America. Denise was responsible for more than $55 million in revenue and was immersed in every aspect of the sales process – marketing, booking and running leads to the step-by-step processes of installation.
Stephen Christopher is the founder of Wit Digital, a web marketing firm designed to help home service business owners achieve results they never thought possible. Before starting Wit Digital, Stephen started and ran several other award winning businesses. One of which was a mortgage company from 2004-2008. With the crash of the mortgage industry in 2008, he learned what it’s like to go from profitable to over $100,000 in debt overnight. From this failure he learned more about business than any school or program could ever teach. Since then he has become an avid student of personal and business development and his number one focus is helping businesses thrive. The primary platform Stephen uses to add extreme value to businesses is the online strategy and service that his agency, Wit Digital, provides.
