​Client Testimonials

​

"Coaching had a positive impact on me both professionally and personally. It gave me space to voice the thoughts in my head and rationalize and discuss options for addressing any concerns. It [also] gave me space to share, ask questions about what I thought the issues were, [...] ways I could address an issue, and what I wanted to do to address issues". - Josh T.

​

"Dedicating time to our meetings has been immeasurably valuable: helping me reset, reflect, and feel empowered to actively pursue my goals. I truly look forward to each meeting, and Chris’s coaching has exceeded my expectations". - Rachel M.

​

​"[Chris] helped me find the openness I was looking for. I came frustrated and upset with my career, and through conversations, questions, and prompting me, [Chris] helped me work through that and brought me to a better, calmer place that will serve me as I grow in my career and personal life." - Paige C.
