SPEAKING | Maurice Chism Business Strategist, Facilitator & Award-Winning Podcaster

BRING THE ROOM A GUIDE, NOT JUST A SPEECH

Your people don't need more motivation. They need clarity, honest decisions, and a next step they'll actually take. That's what I'm there to deliver — whether it's a keynote that reframes how a room thinks, or a working session that leaves your team with a plan.

I'm Maurice D. Chism, Sr. — business strategist, facilitator, and founder of Chism Group LLC. I help audiences and teams get honest about where they are, clear on why it matters, and moving on their next real step.

I blend the story of resilience with the discipline of strategy. Every talk and every session is built on how adults actually learn and change — grounded in my ongoing study of adult learning and organizational training at Temple University, and my work as a Certified Master Entrepreneurship Coach and Certified Master Life Purpose Coach. Expect energy and empathy, yes — but also structure, takeaways, and a room that leaves different than it arrived.

Keynote Topics

Well, Why Not? — Answering the Voice That Says "That Will Never Work." The signature talk: how better questions unlock stalled decisions, careers, and businesses.
Where · Why · Next. A working framework for making better decisions under pressure — honest starting point, real reason, clear next move.
From Employed to Empowered. For professionals eyeing the jump to entrepreneurship: how to move with purpose instead of fear.
Building the Voice That Builds Influence. Lessons from an award-winning podcaster on storytelling, authority, and audience.

FACILITATION & WORKSHOPS

Beyond the stage, I facilitate the working sessions where decisions actually get made. Built on adult-learning principles, these are interactive, outcome-driven, and designed so your team leaves with more than notes.
