Testimonials
Dawn Gannon
Executive Director
Chris is a gifted professional coach who can quickly assess and identify areas for improvement... his unique coaching method is as effective as it is calming and affirming. I enjoyed working with him and highly recommend his services.
Julie Pickett
Chief Financial Officer
It was important that I have a succession plan as a key leader of the organization but, I was simply “stuck” knowing where to begin. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I tackled a project which I dreaded. I think this will be impressive to my boss, but better yet, I know it was impressive to me!
Jeffrey Barbers
Department Manager, UMBC
I was having trouble with being assertive in managing others. I now feel more confident in how I manage…I feel optimistic.
