Name

CHRISTOPH merrill. First name in capitals, last name in lowercase, always.

The thesis

When Pressure Hits... Habits Decide What Holds! Three periods, one exclamation point. It is a trademark.

Title

Keynote speaker, habit researcher, and Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), a designation fewer than 750 speakers worldwide hold.

What he does

He works with organizations whose people already know what to do and stop doing it when the pressure arrives. Every room leaves holding one Non-Negotiable Habit their team can watch them keep.

The research

The State of Workforce Habits, a national study conducted with The Center for Generational Kinetics, measuring which workplace habits hold under pressure and which quietly stop. Published annually.

The keynotes

When Pressure Hits, One Habit Away, and The Benchmark Reveal.

Background

Part of the original Lovesac team. Lead trainer for Peak Potentials for nearly a decade, more than 250 events and over one million people trained. A franchisor and a franchise owner.

Based in

The mountains of Utah. Speaks internationally.

One more thing. His speaking practice, knuble and HabitFREAK are three separate businesses. Please do not describe any of them as a division of another.

For Producers, Hosts and Editors

He shows up prepared, on time, and having listened to your show. Low bar. Rarely cleared.

Three subjects he can carry for a full episode, a panel, or a paragraph in your piece. Plus everything a booking producer or an editor needs to say yes.

Why people stop

The gap between knowing and doing, and why it opens exactly when the stakes rise. Works for leadership shows, business podcasts, and any audience that has watched a good plan die in week three.

What the data says

Findings from The State of Workforce Habits, the national study run with The Center for Generational Kinetics. Numbers nobody else has, and he will say plainly which ones are still under embargo.

The operator years

The original Lovesac team, a decade training over a million people, and both sides of the franchise table. Useful for founder, sales and franchise audiences who want the scars, not the theory.

Remote setup

Broadcast camera and microphone, hardwired connection, controlled light. He also travels with a full camera and mic kit, so a hotel room on the road still sounds and looks like a studio. No laptop microphone, ever.

Preparation

He listens to episodes before recording and comes with something specific to your audience. If you send questions ahead he will answer those. If you would rather go unscripted, that is the better episode anyway.

On the road

He is often already traveling and happy to record in studio, backstage, or from a hotel room with the travel kit. A last minute slot is a yes more often than a no. Ask where he will be that week.

How he shows up

The episode is about your audience, not his book tour. He will make the answers useful to the people listening. And if you want him to take a position rather than survey the options, ask. He is happy to say what he actually thinks.

Promotion

Your episode gets shared to his list and his channels when it drops. He is not going to leave you to promote his appearance by yourself.

Quotes for a story

Writing a piece and need a source on habits, execution under pressure, or what the benchmark data actually shows? Send the question and the deadline. Same-day turnaround on written quotes, and he will tell you straight if the question is outside what he can speak to honestly.

Panels and commentary

Panels, roundtables, expert commentary, contributed articles, and webinars. If it is a thought leadership request, just ask. The answer is usually yes and always fast.

Booking him

Reach CHRISTOPH directly. No publicist, no gatekeeper, and an answer the same day.

Big show, small show, national outlet or a newsletter with four hundred readers.Same answer, same preparation, same day.

FROM CHRISTOPH MERRILL

ONE HABIT
AWAY.

ONE IDEA. PRESSURE–TESTED. EVERY WEEK.

Every week, one of three things lands in your inbox: a habit that holds under pressure, a leadership principle tested in the real world, or a finding from the State of Workforce Habits research that no one else is sharing.

THE TRANSFORMATION

YOUR AUDIENCE WALKS IN

INSPIRED.

THEY LEAVE

CHANGED.

Twenty minutes in, the phones go down. By the third principle, they are texting themselves notes. By the time they leave, they have a name for the pattern that has been quietly breaking their best habits for years. And for the first time, they have a system to fix it.
