Elevate Today with Chris Thompkins
About Chris

Chris Thompkins helps high-capacity people build systems for growth when willpower isn’t enough.
A traumatic brain injury didn’t just change my life—it rewired my understanding of progress. I learned that moving forward after a setback isn’t about grand gestures or sheer hustle. It’s about tiny, sustainable systems.
In my own rebuilding, I merged three core parts of who I’ve always been:
The Artist’s eye for vision and meaning.
The Strategist’s mind for structure and paths.
The Former Cop’s instinct for cutting through chaos to find what works.
Today, as the host of Elevate Today, I channel this blend into practical guidance. I share honest stories and strategic tools designed to turn overwhelm into calm, actionable next steps.
This isn't about adding more to your plate—it's about building a plate that can hold what you're already carrying, so you can move forward without the hype, guilt, or burnout.
If you’re carrying a lot but remain committed to growth, you’re in the right place. Let’s find your next step, quietly and consistently.
