About Chris Urquhart
Australia's most sought-after communications and confidence coach.
WELCOME
I'm Chris Urquhart
For 15 years I was a reporter and presenter on Australian radio and television. I began as a reporter at radio station 2Day FM, before becoming a newsreader for Triple M, Nova and 2GB. When I switched to television, I developed a reputation as an honest and engaging storyteller at Seven News, Nine News, A Current Affair, Today and ABC’s 730. As a reporter, I travelled around Australia and around the world reporting on news, sport, politics, lifestyle and entertainment.
Interviewer
Over the years, I interviewed hundreds of politicians, CEOs, sports stars and entertainers. His work took him from the press gallery at Parliament House in Canberra, to the front line of terrorism at the Lindt Café in Sydney. One day, I’d be raiding drug dens with police SWAT teams in Miami, and on another, chasing crocodiles with the Irwin family in remote North Queensland. Reporting took me from red carpet interviews, to the red dust of droughts, and the red flames of bushfires. Over my career, I developed a reputation as an engaging interviewer, speaking to a host of A-List stars including Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe, Lionel Richie, Keith Urban and many more.
Storyteller
A life in the media helped shape me as a master storyteller and interviewer and his lifelong experience, exceptional editorial judgment and strong rapport with people from all walks of life is now invaluable to helping my clients tell their own stories.
Trainer
I'm one of Australia's most popular communications trainers. My Learning Lab and suite of online "Edge" training programs have helped hundreds of executives, leaders, spokespeople and mid-career professionals gain the skills required to communicate with impact and authority. I have a passion for sharing knowledge and making it fun.
