Working with Chris is like getting a new tool kit. He gives you a few of tools that you need every day, a couple you need occasionally when you are in a specific situation and a couple that you pull out when you are in a bad situation.
The way Chris talks about habits hit me. It was tangible and something I could execute. Two years ago, I was traveling for work big time and the sole provider for my household. I was missing a lot of family-time and when I was at home I wasn’t making the right choices. With his coaching, I took on no more than two changes at a time and made them habits. I saw marked improvements in my health and performance that year.
Then my mom passed away, leaving me to take care of my 93-year-old grandmother on top of a growing workload. I got sick, began to have headaches, my blood pressure was out of whack and I had to go on medication. Some of the things that Chris had taught me were in the back of my mind but I had not implemented them. When I was ready to get back on track, Chris helped me implement them, get off of the medication and handle the stress. I just did a few things consistently and deliberately and it only took 30 days or so to get back to where I wanted to be.
Today, my body composition is different, my blood is healthy, I am a lot less stressed and I can handle things a lot better because I spent some 1:1 time with Chris getting the tools I needed.

Chris was fantastic to work with. He engaged at the right level. He understood our audience and the themes of our overall event. Then he showed up and delivered a very impactful talk. Based on the feedback I collected, he was able to capture people’s interest through both skillful presentation skills and a fresh perspective. In the formal feedback process, over 90% of respondents said the one key takeaway from a full day of presentations was from Chris’ talk!
