"I've had the pleasure of working with Chris as part of a nationwide leadership development program within the Farm Credit System. Chris combines his extensive professional experience and refreshingly relatable style to create an atmosphere where clients have no doubt that he genuinely cares about their development – to become better versions of themselves at home, work, and in their communities.

Aside from leading a captivating seminar centered around the Lifestyles Inventory assessment, Chris follows up one-on-one with participants to provide valuable feedback and coaching to aid in their development journey.

Chris has really helped me prepare for the next level of leadership as his insight and his program led me to find ways to re-orient my daily approach to better leverage mine and others' strengths for mutual success on a larger scale. I've been able to find more balance, peace, and success in all areas of my life through shifting my paradigm in a way that Chris helped me discover."

"In my previous position as CEO & President of FCC Services, I hired Chris in 2015 to lead our Leadership Development and Talent Assessment practice, as a member of my executive team. He did exceptional work in assessing and updating our leadership development programs and launching new programs including a C-Level cohort. His work in talent management consulting and talent selection also addressed the evolving needs of our Farm Credit client base.

Chris brings to the table an extensive business and talent background, having worked in several industries and with organizations ranging from the Fortune 500 through to smaller and mid-sized businesses over his career. I have always appreciated Chris' positive and straightforward approach to his business relationships. His moral compass and work ethic are exceptional and make him a very trustworthy leader. He is dedicated to the success of his clients and to the teams he leads."

"Chris is a highly effective Consultant and Leader! A few years ago, I had the privilege of participating in a Leadership Development Program session lead by Chris. I was instantly impressed with Chris's professionalism, expertise, and method of delivery as he presented to our group.

Early December 2019, I participated in an ISPI (Innovation Strengths Preference Indicator) assessment, which was administered by Chris's company. My ISPI experience was excellent and thorough, perhaps one of the best assessments I've taken. It was efficient and spot-on with identifying my natural strengths contributing to innovation initiatives. Unlike most assessments, the ISPI results were delivered within minutes and in a clear and concise manner. Additionally, Chris was very prompt with scheduling and providing feedback, which allowed me to gain additional perspectives regarding my strength when working on innovation initiatives.

Chris is an industry expert and is genuinely passionate about adding value to individuals and organizations. I highly recommend Chris's services to anyone looking to optimize their potential within their organization."

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Chris since 2007 when we both served in HR and Talent Management leadership roles at The McGraw-Hill Companies. His thoughtful approach to designing learning and leadership development strategies on a global scale and managing the execution of a 6-part leadership program was impressive. He was widely respected across the organization by senior leadership and peers.

Several years later, when I joined a LivePerson, a Platform as a Service/Tech company as the Global Director of People & Culture, I recognized the need to bring on a trusted partner to help with a high-priority project. Chris came to mind immediately. I hired him as a consultant to assist in the development of a blended learning curriculum to support the company's learning and leadership strategy. Throughout the engagement, Chris completed an external vendor selection for online learning content and presented recommendations for content targeted for different levels of leadership. From start to finish, I had full confidence in Chris's ability to balance competing priorities and considerations for budget-friendly yet engaging content aligned to our business strategy, company culture, and values.

What makes Chris an invaluable partner is his care and commitment to building trust, his ability to listen and ask the right questions and to effectively uncover the underlying issues and opportunities a client is facing, therefore presenting solutions with impact. He is highly collaborative, he delivers a professional work product and a true joy to work with. I would gladly hire Chris again for any consulting and coaching needs."
