At a rather unique crossroad of military precision and business acumen, Chris Harris may be found. From teaching elite warriors close-quarters combat to remastering corporate sales teams, Harris’ signature style of leadership and guidance has elucidated the surprising parallels between battlefield mindset and boardroom success.
Today, the former servicemember shares his years of wisdom and experience with top-level executives and the average civilian alike.
From Combat Training to Corporate Excellence
The creation of Roku Jutsu in 1993 marked Harris’s first major breakthrough. This elite close-quarters combat system, developed specifically for military and special forces, has trained hundreds of groups including law enforcement, federal agencies, and special forces for the U.S. and its global allies. His skill earned him induction into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame and the rank of Grand Master.
“I have created a battle-tested formula for achieving a mindset that produces hope, motivation, success, and fulfillment,” Harris explains. “The principles I share were forged during my tumultuous childhood as I endured homelessness and extreme adversity and were fine-tuned as I taught mental toughness through close-quarters combat to elite warriors.“
Transforming Business Through Warrior Mindset
Harris’s move from combat training to corporate leadership proved more seamless than previously thought. His Phase Selling methodology, outlined in his latest book, has successfully led to massive increases in sales performance across industries. Working with over 500 companies from more than 60 countries, Harris demonstrates how military-grade mental toughness can effectively translate into business excellence.
His eight published books, including the recent “Mindset Grit,” showcase a novel ability to merge combat discipline with corporate strategy. The four C’s methodology – Connect, Consult, Confirm, and Close – has become a cornerstone for sales professionals seeking to decrease sales cycles and increase deal sizes.
Breaking Through Performance Barriers
Harris’s philosophy centers on the power of mindset restructuring. From experiencing homelessness to becoming a globally recognized authority on performance improvement, his work speaks for itself. Through keynote speaking engagements and executive consulting, Harris teaches clients to wield their existing tools for breakthrough results.
“Some people believe that the easiest journey is the one with the fewest obstacles along the way. However, it’s the adversity that we experience throughout our lives that provides our greatest growth, development, and fulfillment,” Harris shares in his book “I Go Thru.” This perspective has captivated many audiences worldwide, from corporate executives to military personnel.
Even beyond traditional business consulting, Harris’ firm touch may be found. As a member of Business Executives for National Security (BENS) and a U.S. military veteran, Harris continues to exemplify the similarity that may be found between military excellence and corporate achievement. His methodology has proven particularly effective in high-pressure environments where mental toughness determines success or failure.
Through his dynamic speaking engagements and training programs, Harris allows individuals and organizations to unlock their full potential, using the very same tools they already possess. With battle-tested strategies for developing mental toughness, he has elevated countless careers and organizations–proving that the principles of combat excellence have profound applications in the business world.
