Coaching with Chris is an excellent option if you’re dissatisfied with your job or career, looking for what’s next, or want to launch your next business idea into action. Chris is a Professional Certified Coach and has been trained by some of the best coaches in the world. He understands the value of powerful questions, different perspectives, and listening.
Private 1:1 calls and access to Chris. Calls that focus on one topic at a time. To help you come away with what’s most important to you. It could be a fresh perspective, an action, or something interesting to think about. Sessions are held virtually via phone or video call - whichever you prefer.
There is no perfect time to start anything. In business, we often say the best time to start was yesterday; the next best time is today. The sooner you get going, the sooner you will make changes, see results, and get where you want to go. This is a process and a journey that will take time and effort. The best way to see if we are compatible and if I have availability is to apply and get in touch. We will be in contact within 24 hours.
