CEO at Potato Chip Communications
My name is Max. I'm a public speaker, communication skills trainer, professor, and a potato chip lover. I believe that the better we communicate, the more value we can bring to other people's lives (and in turn, our own). For me, good communication begins and ends with caring for and taking a genuine interest in other people. In 2017, I launched Potato Chip Communications, a company dedicated to helping people become more confident, engaging and effective communicators. Since 2007, I've been a top-salesperson with 3 different companies, led and delivered thousands of speaking engagements, and have had the opportunity to find success in the worlds of manufacturing, film distribution, health food and non-profit. And oh, the name... Potato Chip Communications. Well, I like chips so much that I decided to start posting chip reviews online, which ultimately led to the inspiration behind it all. Favourite chip: Miss Vickies, Salt & Vinegar.

Very good presentation and tips given so far. Really like the way he speaks and encourages us. Every slide and unit of training materials provides tremendous help. As a frequent speaker and message deliverer, I feel even more confident in speaking and presenting to my audience now. Thanks so much Max!
I found Max to be an engaging speaker. He showed me a serious of tips that will assist my public speaking skills and I learned that a perfect speaker is not necessarily a engaging speaker. A perfect speaker we tune out, and engaging speaker will hold our attention. I highly recommend this course. Valerie Dunlop
