Services

I work individually with new leaders to help them lead organizations through culture change, reduce turnover, engage boards in the work, reduce unproductive conflict among leadership teams, and translate strategic plans into strategic action.

I work with teams that specifically have difficulty getting things done. My work focuses on enhancing team dynamics, improving collaboration, and increasing productivity.

I speak and facilitate workshops focused on critical topics such as:

  • Difficult conversations
  • Strategic planning
  • Leading with Influence
  • Leadership Storytelling
  • Attracting and Engaging Volunteers
  • Building Agile Leadership Development Strategies

I offer two self-paced online courses:

  • Effective Performance Coaching
  • Mastering Difficult Conversations

I often consult with HR and L&D departments to build comprehensive leadership development programs and talent development strategies. My expertise ensures that your leadership development initiatives are effective and aligned with your organization’s goals and drive concrete results.

Why Choose Leadership Potential?

As an ICF-certified executive coach and organizational development professional, I bring a wealth of experience in leadership development, strategic planning, and change management. As a licensed therapist, I bring a deep understanding of human dynamics and have a track record of supporting others in bringing their best to work. People come to me because I have the ability to balance both big picture vision with actionable steps. Leaders tell me I create spaces where they feel both understood and inspired to step into their full potential. Not only have I done this as a coach and consultant, I've achieved similar results as in leadership positions, both in companies and volunteer capacities.

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.

Stephen Sharkey Lead Pastor

[Coaching] allowed me to get things done better and faster. I’m so grateful for his ability to make myself and my workplace better.
