As a pro snowboarder Chris locked down amazing video parts with Kingpin Productions, F.O.D.T and Absinthe Films. His early parts showcased him ripping urban terrain and large jumps but once Absinthe helped get him to new terrain in places like Haines his eye's were opened to a whole new type of riding and once he rode these huge mountains there was no turning back. His love for the back country eclipsed his pro career as he got on a split board producing a blog series all the time honing in his safety skill's and snow science knowledge. He took this knowledge and made good use of it becoming a back country guide for help op's as well as snowmobile ops. He now shreds year round between sledding in Colorado and Heli time in USA and South America. Chris sit's down and tell's us not only about his pro career but also all about his current job as a Guide and what it take's to become a guide as well as gives us a glimpse into his life and the life of guides as well as share some very personal stories of loss which can come hand in hand with the job unfortunately. Thanks to his hard work and dedication as well as other like him we can all have the opportunity to shred some next level terrain knowing our life is in the best hand's possible!!

Chris Coulter co-led a successful business that went bankrupt after 18 years, he tragically lost his 14-year-old daughter to mental health, and he is the Executive Director of "How Are You Feeling?" and Owner of the Finish Line Group. Chris' life mission is to scale "How Are You Feeling?" to get it into as many schools as possible. He knows the importance of kids being able to understand their mental health, and his organization uses TV shows and movies that kids will relate to for educational purposes. Sumerlee Office Solutions reached $35 million in revenue before the financial crisis of 2008/2009, which was the catalyst that forced him and his partner to declare bankruptcy. From $2 million in revenue to $35 million, to winding down its operations. Closer to the end of the episode, I asked Chris an important question and he kindly answered. How do we approach someone who has just lost a close friend, daughter, son, father, mother or sibling to mental health? Chris Coulter on LinkedInHowAreYouFeeling.org

Interviews with pioneers in business and social impact - Business Fights Poverty Spotlight
What is climate justice and why should business put people at the heart of their climate action? Tara Shine, Co-CEO at Change By Degrees, Chris Coulter, CEO at GlobeScan, and Javier Aliaga, the Director of Fairtrade's Center of Excellence in Climate and Environment joined together live during COP27 on Twitter Space and this is what they shared. If you want to know simply what Climate Justice is and why your business should start caring and promoting climate action, you've come to the right place. But don't miss a moment, cause the #ClockisTicking. Tara, Chris, and Javier are leading experts in climate justice and business action across three continents. Together they share practical insights, articulate the business case for climate justice and tell first hand stories of the impacts of climate action by business. Tara: “If you look at developing states, or the least developed countries in the world, the amount of carbon pollution they produce is still to this day miniscule. So it's not their fault, this problem. And so that's the great unfairness that lies the injustice that lies in climate change. And that's why we have to find a just and fair solution.” Who needs to step up? Chris says: “We did a study in July across 31 markets in the world, 30,000 interviews, trying to track the evolution and perceptions and responses to the two big massive challenges the climate change crisis and the inequality crisis.” What's remarkable now, is that this is the highest level of concern people are registering around climate change in 20 years of tracking. And the growth of that concern has been consistent across all parts of the world and has grown steadily in the last 8 years through the pandemic, which would have traditionally been one of those things that knocked off the agenda, and now through the cost of living crisis and the war in Ukraine. So we're breaking new ground on levels of engagement and concern around climate change worldwide and one of the reasons for that is the immediacy of impact. Almost 4 in 10 people across the world say that they have been greatly affected by climate change.” Shedding light on business engagement with climate justice, Javier says: “The first step is investing to protect the most vulnerable ones, and creating resilience. And next probably is creating capacities and skills, transferring knowledge to these vulnerable people. And maybe last but not least, to promote a clear and transparent accountability. I think this is the framework for great use to promote in order to move forward.” We thank Pearson for being our learning partner and helping us to bring this to you.
During UNGA and Climate Week, AB InBev hosted a discussion on the shifting role of business in a VUCA world, VUCA being volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. This special edition of Talking on Tap features Chris Coulter, CEO of Globescan, as he sits down with our very own John Blood, Chief Legal and Corporate Affairs Officer, Rob Skinner, Deputy Director and Chief of Partnerships and Global Engagement at the United Nations, and Christa Gyori, CEO of Leaders on Purpose, to discuss the expectations and how companies can participate in the United Nations Sustainable Development goals.
Chris Coulter, Co-Executive Director of 'HowAreYouFeeling.Org,' spoke with Alex, to talk about his 14-year-old daughter, Maddie, who died by suicide. Chris has been trying to coach parents with similar struggles with their kids. In many cases, these parents are barely holding it together. He knows because he was one of those parents. Now, Chris is talking to Toronto school kids, hoping to bring his program into public schools.. Here's Chris on how his program differs from the mental health education offered by schools.
Chris Coulter and Mark Lee discuss the groundbreaking announcement by Patagonia founder Yvon Choinard, to transfer ownership of the company to a trust and nonprofit organization created to protect the firm's purpose and values while fighting the climate crisis and defending nature. They also discuss Bill Gate's pessimistic mid-point outlook on progress on the SDGs and look ahead to Climate Week in New York City. Their conversation is followed by an interview with Amita Chaudhury, Group Head of Sustainability & ESG at AIA, about the insurance giant's purpose journey.
In this episode of the Sustainable Minds podcast, Gary Baker and Roxanne "Rocket" White are joined by Chris Coulter to discuss why organizations should take a proactive approach to global issues to build a more sustainable and equitable future. Chris works with leaders in business, multilateral organizations, and NGOs to help them better respond to shifting stakeholder expectations, build trust with key constituencies, and exert greater influence in shaping the future. Globalization ties together all countries, organizations, and people. To thrive in this globalized world, we must address sustainability issues, like environmental problems, inequality crisis, and human rights. Chris Coulter adds another one he thinks most organizations missed. That is geopolitics and a challenge to authoritarianism. Chris believes we should take a proactive approach and understand governance and the relationship between it and the progress we can make on social and environmental performance. And it all begins with understanding your brand purpose in alignment with sustainability.
Chris Coulter is CEO of GlobeScan, an insights and advisory consultancy helping companies, NGOs, and governmental organizations know their world and create strategies that lead to a sustainable and equitable future. He is a co-author of All In: The Future of Business Leadership, and The Sustainable Business Handbook. He is Chair of Canadian Business for Social Responsibility, a member of B Lab's Multinational Standards Advisory Council and serves on Walgreen's Corporate Responsibility Advisory Board. Chris also co-hosts All In: The Sustainable Business Podcast."While we need action, I think at the same time, the world and the agenda are moving so quickly. We're learning more all the time. We really can't skip the dialogue part, and we need to create more space and more opportunity to think through - What are we trying to do? What have we learned? How do we move smarter and more quickly? So it's not just about doing more action constantly. It's taking stock consistently because the agenda keeps evolving at a more rapid pace than it has historically, which means we need to find more places for proper dialogue that are springboards for this action, but we shouldn't discount the fact that we've got to sometimes just stop and chat and listen and learn and that makes us better and stronger." https://globescan.comhttps://allinbook.net

Chris also co-hosts All In: The Sustainable Business Podcast."My intention was to become a doctor because my parents were quite civic-minded and old hippies who wanted to, you know, change the world in the sixties. And so those values were instilled. I thought medicine would be a great place. I ended up shifting to international development and wanting to focus on that part of what was transpiring in the world.I ended up working for the Canadian government in CIDA, which is the former USAID equivalent in Ottawa. And then I saw a poster to volunteer in Ukraine, and my mother's side of the family is Ukrainian, so I thought that what a great thing to do. So I ended up being the guy who could speak English and write proposals for NATO, ironically, in 1996, for this really interesting organic organization called Democratic Initiatives Foundation, which continues to exist by this fantastic founder Ilko Kucheriv, who's passed away, sadly. He was a democratic reformer. Ukraine became independent in '91. He wanted to bring tools from the West that were important to develop civil society, which included public opinion polling."https://globescan.comhttps://allinbook.net

Chris also co-hosts All In: The Sustainable Business Podcast."Now we're seeing people experiencing impacts, and there's been a growth, now 36% of the global population said they have been personally greatly impacted by climate change, up five points from a year ago. So it's growing, and the distribution of those impacts is unequal as well, and they tend to be mostly in developing countries where the impacts are felt the greatest. So we do have this interesting thing where in the Netherlands, the impacts are felt the lowest, yet concerns are highest and support for climate things are happening. And in other parts of the world, like Argentina or Mexico, we have very high levels of personal impact, and the concern levels sometimes are middling. So we're in a very strange time of unequal distribution, both of impact and also potential solutions at hand, but that will also, I think, lead to more interesting conversations going forward."https://globescan.comhttps://allinbook.net

I met Chris more than 10 years ago in Bariloche, Argentina, my hometown. Couldn't be more stoked since somebody that rode Alaska, jumped over halfpipes and attacked every feature with determination and heavy feet was lurking into the terrain we have down here in Patagonia. A couple hellos, chit chat and some valley to valley cheering when I saw him rip some cool lines, but nothing more until today. And what a treat it was, definitely assuring my idea that Chris is a great person and somebody committed to snowboarding 100%. We talk not only about his stand out parts through his snowboard carreer, but most about the decisions, commitments and doubts around a life standing sideways. The time he felt he had to leave snowboarding in search of a “real job” together with a pro career that didn't come easy. Also talking about the end of his pro career in front of the cameras and into the realm of splitboarding, snowboarding coaching and being a guide. Please join us into a chat that had a bit of everything, some emotion, some stoke and of course, some spanish.

"We knew that a handbook had to be incredibly practical... we tried to help people to really work through the stages that you need to think about." There could hardly be a more important topic for businesses to engage with today than sustainability, and yet most businesses are still at the very early stages of formulating their sustainability strategy. So when David Grayson, Chris Coulter and Mark Lee were invited to write The Sustainable Business Handbook, they knew it had to be a practical tool that any business leader could use to get their own sustainability initiatives off the ground. In this conversation we talk about what that meant in practice for structure and style, and how three authors in three different time zones can collaborate without tears...
Holidays are for friends and family so we have solicited the help of Hannah and Katie: hosts of One Kiss Means Forever podcast for this episode. We're recapping Double Holiday, which means we have twice the fun! This movie stars Carly Pope as Rebecca Hoffman and Kristoffer Polaha as Chris Coulter. Rebecca and Chris are vying for the same VP position and are rivals, until they must work together to plan the perfect company Christmas party. Great news for Chris who loves Christmas, bad news for Rebecca who's Jewish and has little experience with the holiday. In this episode we realize that Hannah is the Jewish MacGyver and gives us all the Hanukkah secrets like using birthday candles in the menorah and the unsung holiday hero- jelly donuts. While Katie regales us with all things Christmas, including the potential names for her Christmas tree: either Spruce Willis or Brendan Fraser Fir. We also explain how the dewy glow of our heroine might be the oil heavy Hanukkah food and heavily push Passionflix subscriptions even though they are not a sponsor. So pull out your menorahs and Christmas trees and join double the hosts for this Double Holiday.
