What Our Clients Experience
Over two decades and more than 60 organizations, our clients have experienced real, lasting change. Not just in how they perform, but in how they lead and what they make possible for the people around them.
Executive and Leadership Coaching
The leaders we work with are accomplished and operating at the edge of what their current strengths can carry. The question is rarely whether they are capable. It is whether the identity and ways of being that got them here are still the right ones for what comes next.
Our coaching creates the conditions for that inquiry, sharpening clarity, expanding range, and deepening the kind of presence that distinguishes truly exceptional leaders from merely effective ones.
We have worked with leaders at organizations including Evans Incorporated, NestleUSA, and USAID.
Organizational Effectiveness and Strategy
A federal aviation program group had plateauing engagement scores and limited shared understanding of what was driving them. We designed and led a multi-year strategy that produced measurable improvement across all five focus areas and a 24% increase in survey participation over three years. The approach was later adopted by 26 additional organizational units.
The numbers matter. So does what made them possible: a leadership team that became active owners of their culture.
We have worked with organizations including FAA, USAID, Chemonics International, and Whole Child International.
Facilitation and Team Development
Senior teams rarely struggle because they lack smart people or good intentions. They struggle because the unspoken dynamics and unfinished conversations get in the way of the collective intelligence already in the room. We create the conditions for honest conversation, real accountability, and cohesion that outlasts the meeting.
We have worked with senior teams at organizations including FAA, USAID, Chemonics International, and Happy Customers, an international IT services firm.
Change Management
What breaks change initiatives is rarely the technical side. It is the gap between what the organization is being asked to become and what its people are ready to do. We work alongside senior leaders to close that gap, bringing discipline to the people side of change so momentum builds rather than stalls.
We are happy to connect prospective clients with references directly. Reach out anytime.
“I was lucky enough to have Chris as a coach during a pivotal time in my development, and the learnings he helped guide me to continue to inform my approach as a leader to this day.
Chris did an exceptional job helping me reframe my stakeholder challenges, to think about others’ perspectives and customize my approach, instead of stewing in frustration or assuming things should work a certain way. Over time, applying strategies I had been able to talk through with Chris, I saw my relationships with stakeholders shift radically. I became a trusted partner across departments that had typically operated as rivals.
Chris helped me approach collaboration with empathy and strategy, and to understand where my own vulnerabilities were impacting partnerships. The changes in stakeholder management that came out of our coaching were a major contributor to earning a promotion and international assignment the following year.
Since then, I have worked across different industries and organizations where many colleagues didn’t have access to strong coaching early in their careers and the difference is stark. I only hope that as a leader, I have become ‘a Chris’ for the people on my team in their own growth journeys.”
“Chris was laid back, compassionate, and genuinely interested in my ‘stuff.’ He gave great summarising insights and was strategic with questions and feedback. He was also not afraid to challenge me. I always felt as though he had my very best interests at heart. Chris really helped me to self-reflect and think intentionally about how I am moving forward business-wise. He has helped me to believe in myself more and think seriously about my gifts and experience and how I can best be channeling all of this in my career moving forwards. You can’t manipulate great coach-client chemistry - it’s either there or it isn’t. It was there from the start with Chris and I but it also grew as trust and understanding of each other developed through our sessions. Chris is a great coach who challenged me, believed in me, and invested in me. I leave our sessions feeling enriched by our times together”
“Chris is a talented and creative facilitator. His attention to detail and willingness to be flexible are two of his many strong qualities. Chris’s numerous life experiences and work experience have helped him to create a great reputation has a professional facilitator. Chris is our “go to man” and comes highly recommended!”
