He provides structure while also allowing for expansion of thoughts, ideas, wants and needs that may show up. What also stands out for Chris is his level of humour and perspective to his conversations that help bring a sense of lightness to his coaching skills.

“Chris’ coaching allowed me to gain new insights and perspectives that I wouldn’t have found on my own. Your ability to listen with empathy and offer thoughtful guidance has been transformative!” Coachee

“When I started my coaching sessions with Chris, I really wanted Chris to help me through some of my challenges as a new working mum, but also to help me work through specifically improving my communication style as a leader. During our coaching session, Chris was able to help unleash and guide me through some aspects such as actively listening without assumptions and taking feedback knowing that it is coming from only good intentions. At the end of my final session, I felt encouraged, motivated and confident.” Coachee

“One of Chris’ greatest strengths is his capacity for deep listening and thoughtful reflection. He provides a perspective that helps reframe situations in a way that feels empowering and constructive. What I value most is how he creates an environment that feels safe, respectful and free of judgement, enabling honest dialogue and personal discovery.” Coachee
