"Chris Bashinelli is an excellent communicator and motivator. When Chris is involved in an event, I know it is in great hands. His ability to connect and relate with people from all backgrounds is simply remarkable. Chris is equally as comfortable and confident with high profile individuals such as the Secretary General of the United Nations, as he is with the everyday man or woman on the street. Chris spoke at and moderated the Launch of the International Year of Youth in the United Nations General Assembly hall with a remarkable amount of ease and skill. I have great faith in Chris. I consider it an honor to work with him and most importantly, I consider him a friend."
UNITED NATIONS FOCAL POINT ON YOUTH
Nicola Shepherd, Head of the UN Programme on Youth
"Chris Bashinelli offered the Boy Scouts of America an ideal mix of someone with a strong Scouting background and an impressive non-Scouting resume. As an Eagle Scout, his leadership skills were apparent, but we also were impressed by the ease with which he discussed his work. He spoke to us in a way that felt unscripted and conversational but still polished and precise. His inspirational words left Scouts and Scout leaders wanting more."

Cynthia Hellen, co-founder
"Dear Chris, Thank you so much for serving as a moderator for the UN International Day of Peace… I very much appreciated not only your renowned energy and enthusiasm, but also the skillful way you wove together the inspiring ideas expressed by such luminaries as Michael Douglas, Dr. Jane Goodall, and Stevie Wonder so that the young people would actually remember what they said. You made a real difference to every one of the 500+ students in the room, who surely left ready to be ambassadors of peace in the world – just like you! May Peace Prevail on Earth! With gratitude and love."
