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

I was having trouble with being assertive in managing others. I now feel more confident in how I manage…I feel optimistic.

As soon as I feel stuck, Chris swoops in with a question that pushes me to dig a little deeper and think a little harder. My coaching sessions with him have brought forward insights and discoveries that have helped resolve key business challenges for me.
Charles Allen-Allen
Operations Director, Urology, Boston Medical Center
I used to struggle with being concise, confident, and connecting effectively with providers. It was frustrating, people would often ask me to repeat myself, and I felt like my message wasn’t landing. Working with Chris Wong changed everything. Over the past year, I have effectively navigated complex initiatives by presenting challenging processes to faculty, facilitating collaborative project advancement, and articulating staffing needs to leadership, resulting in the approval of previously unbudgeted positions.
