“Chris’s ability to lead & articulate his message & vision is unparalleled. He hit the nail on the head, and struck a chord with our team as he preached Focus, Discipline & Accountability, “1-60-24″ with our team & we did exactly that for a big-statement win! We appreciate your mentorship & service! Go Browns!”
“Chris’s leadership through the development of our strategy was transformational. He navigated a very difficult dynamic and successfully pulled everyone together into a team… With a clear path forward, we can now focus on saving lives.”
"Six months ago my business went through a major transition. Chris helped us navigate this tough period with his strategy support, expert counsel and his ability to hold me and my team accountable…. I have no doubt that we would not be in business today without Chris’ coaching and support. On a personal level, he is an amazing example of leadership with integrity and genuinely cares about those he mentors.”
