LET’S TALK

ABOUT

THE AUTHOR

Who is Carey Chronis? Mix together a pediatrician, business owner, author, and public speaker, gently stir (please don’t shake), and you have Dr. Chronis.

For more than 25 years, Chronis has operated a private pediatric practice, leading teams, managing staff, and navigating the real-world demands of business ownership. Through thousands of patient interactions each year, he developed a clear framework grounded in one foundational truth: connection drives culture.

In his new leadership book, Connection Rethink: Team Culture from Home to Boardroom, Carey challenges conventional thinking about authority and performance, arguing that the family is our first and most demanding team and that the skills required to build trust, safety, and cooperation at home are the same ones that determine team culture at work and whether organizations thrive or fracture.

RAVES

“Attending Innovate 2024 game-changer for my business. The insights I gained industry leaders during the keynote sessions & workshops were invaluable. I left the conference not only with a wealth of knowledge about emerging trends.”

“Dr. Chronis presented a clear connection between the two in ways that every leader and parent can use the skills that they already have to be both a better boss and parent.”
