''Chris has done a fantastic job helping me understand, not just my own personal/professional obstacles, but enhancing my perspective on how others see their professional goals and road blocks. He has a unique way of re-tooling my thinking to see the “hidden” obvious. His tools and methodology are refreshing and inventive. He slows down to listen, prepares for response and highlights his thoughts in multiple ways to help me truly grasp the concepts and strategies we are trying to achieve. I truly appreciate and value my relationship with Chris.''

“Upon working with Chris, immediately it was evident that he is passionate about helping others improve. Chris communicates in a way that makes the most difficult situation seem manageable and surmountable. In my transition as the former GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves, I was able to consult with Chris on an important project and was provided with guidance and many insightful ideas and ways to improve my product. His knowledgeable yet simplistic way of communicating was crucial for me to grasp and understand what was needed to enhance the success rate of my endeavor.”

“We did a team building activity today that was not what you would expect in a team building activity. Chris had us really reveal ourselves and become vulnerable so we could get some great feedback on our strengths and how we’re coming across to others. I think this forged a really great new working relationship with one another. So I’m glad we took the risk and I’m really glad it wasn’t a traditional “build something out of boxes” contrived session. Great day. Thanks!”
