Chris Marshall

Chris Marshall has seen growing demand as the world has continued to become more disruptive, and change seems to be around every corner. Chris is a renowned behavioral scientist and professional futurist and found speaking on stages, podcasts and presentations on both how trends and mega trends are ushering in a period of underrepresented radical social change, and how we really really need to thinking about our thinking if we're to successfully navigate this era.

While Chris loves to bathe in the science, his real skill is turning these sometime hard dull facts into enlightening stories that resonate. These skills have also seen Chris become a certified master life coach and psychotherapist helping individuals thrive in this fast paced, complex world.

What led Chris to this area of work and specialisation?

Chris would tell you that it all started when he was a young athlete representing his country on the Alpine Ski Team and the massive influence the psychologists who worked with him had on his racing performance and outlook.

After this Chris moved into the investment world right at the peak of markets just before the 2007 Great Financial Crisis and seeing that once again, psychology, and those that had better control of their cognition moved through these periods with ease and grace.

Chris published the book Decoding Change in 2022, which he states is all about helping people see and understand the major driving forces of change: trends and megatrends that operate below the surface noise most people focus on.

While have a good understanding of change is vital - it's not enough. We need to take a long hard look at how we approach problems, how we cultivate creativity when we are in a world of constant, unrelenting change and disruption. To solve this Chris drew on his skills as a behavioral scientist, master life coach and psychotherapist to develop the PPM Method program (Pause Play Move Method) and establish the private psychotherapy and coaching practice know as the Refuel Clinic.
