Testimonials

In less than 30 minutes, Christopher identified and dismantled a disabling pattern in my business that was blocking me for over 3 years. He changed my ‘stinkin thinkin’ into a powerhouse of self-encouragement by helping me understand I already have what I need to be successful. He accomplished in short time what than most coaches do in hours. I have a detailed plan on what to do, but more importantly Christopher taught me how to figure out a solution all by myself next time, if I ever become stuck again.

I was frustrated with where I was at work and it was affecting other areas of my life.

Christopher understood that I am not merely searching for a good job or stable finances. I am looking to contribute to society in a big, long-term, meaningful way. Christopher was able to understand the importance of the mission and change the coaching plan around that.

In many instances of using career tools over the years, Christopher made one of the best connections to actionable results I’ve experienced. He was neither too blue sky, nor trying to make me love a path that won’t be working. It was ideal. We completed exactly what I needed – a tool and a plan for achieving future leadership.

Among aspects I liked, he did the job without counting minutes. He was much more concerned about results than clock watching. This is very refreshing in an era when one constantly runs into supplier issues on the business side.

I highly recommend Christopher as a career coach. A client would be well-served with sessions with him.

“Christopher helped my family life, my wife as definitely noticed a difference. I used to come home tense from work and I was ready to find a new job. Christopher help identify what I’m good at in a short time. We develop a plan to find fulfillment in 20% of my job I enjoyed while still doing the 80% I didn’t. Now I’m a lot more energetic when I come home. I think I’m a lot more fun to be around because all I want to talk about is that part I like doing. Thank You, you were able to get to the bottom of what makes me tick career wise.”

“I gained a new sense of clarity and encouragement after meeting Christopher. As a husband, father, employee and upstart entrepreneur, it’s easy for the chaos of those roles to take root and to lose focus. I was immediately comfortable talking with Christopher. He has an amazing ability to listen and offer insight. As we discussed the issues that had been bouncing around in my head for months, he offered guidance that I couldn’t have developed on my own. After just a brief conversation, I gained a different perspective and am now better equipped to manage the many hats I wear.”

“After working with Christopher, work and life is more fulfilling. He showed me a smarter way of working and thinking. It is like hitting the easy button now. Christopher has a strong sense of tradition and is still forward thinking. I used to believe I had little options in life. I know now my personality has value and there are positions which require people like me. Even my wife has noticed a change in me. My communication has improved and I’m much more comfortable with myself.”

“I have hope again. Since meeting with Christopher, I have come to understand why I haven’t been satisfied with my current job. He has guided me through the steps necessary not only to apply for and gain meaningful employment, but also challenged me to reexamine my hopes and dreams. I hate to say this, but he is more of a life coach than just a career coach. Or maybe my career has more to do with my life than I thought previously. I would have to say, in all my jaded-ness, Christopher is very good at what he does.”

“It is easy to work with Christopher. For 6 years I had been in a rut I could not get out of. My business had stalled and I was frustrated. Christopher looked at me as a person, and viewed my work objectively. I did not just get a pat on the head. He will challenge you, while growing your confidence. Christopher saw into the core of who I am and created unique tasks to improve my creativity and focus. In the short time we have worked together, my sales have increased, my clients are happier and I’m more productive. He will produce results.”

“When I started receiving coaching I had no idea what to expect. I had a lot of misconceptions about what I would be hearing and learning and if it would even be worth my time. Immediately with the first session I was challenged in very simple ways to think for myself and to get out of the routine, robotic, and almost zombie like way of processing my thoughts. I really enjoyed the challenge of answering questions instead of them being given to me. This allowed me to learn a great deal about myself and how I look at my life. Throughout the coaching Christopher kept a really good open line of communication with me to make sure I was always progressing and checking to see what I thought about each session.
I would recommend coaching with Christopher to anyone who is ready for their life to be opposite day (from what they used to), everyday and to get out of their box and excel at the things never thought possible. I am extremely thankful for opportunity to learn from someone who has a God given gift and a passion for what they do.”
