Chris Belmont is a Consultant based in Las Vegas. She started in business as a minimum wage employee at Taco Bell and ended up running a multimillion dollar restaurant franchise with 30 locations in multiple states. Her career spanned being a General Manager, a Training Director, a Multi-Unit Manager, and a VP of Operations.
Chris delivers training and facilitation on multiple subjects, based on her real-world experience as a business leader. Her most popular speaking and facilitation subjects are Diversity & Inclusion in Business, and Leadership Development. Chris knows how to make the subject matter relatable, impactful, and actionable to people on the front lines of business. Her credibility and authenticity are based on her 30+ years of firsthand experience.
Part of her Leadership Development focus is based on the increasing difficulty and cost of recruiting managers and leaders in business. Her philosophy is that business should focus on developing internal candidates, rather than hiring from the outside, whenever possible. There are a few predictable traps new leaders face when they are promoted internally, and one of her most popular courses is helping new leaders succeed by identifying and working through these common pitfalls. She also works with seasoned leaders to help them hone their ability to develop their teams and grow more leaders.
Her Sexual Harassment workshops meet CA AB 1825 compliance standards and address topics like workplace bullying. Her Diversity & Inclusion workshops are based on the idea that every team is different, and so every Diversity discussion will be different. She meets participants where they are, rather than forcing them to attend a boring lecture that does little to impact behaviors and workplace attitudes. Chris works with every group to ensure that there is a real impact on the culture of an organization. She leaves each team with a customized roadmap that will help them develop a culture that does not tolerate uncivil behavior, and lines up with the company’s goals and objectives.
Chris is a certified instructor in multiple programs, including Ken Blanchard’s Situational Leadership, ELI, Inc Civil Treatment for Leaders, and Diversity & Inclusion, ServSafe Food Safety & Sanitation, and she is a Certified DiSC Coach. Chris also holds aPHR certification from the HR Certification Institute.
