Hi, I'm Chris.
I help frustrated mid-career professionals take the right next step to find and do work they love.
Work's not working out for you, but you've got bills to pay and people who depend on you. You can't just quit. But there's got to be more than this.
The meetings, the bureaucracy, the meaningless - is this how you were meant to spend your time?
Maybe you try to cram all your fun into the weekend. No pressure! You blink and it’s Monday, again.
Or you numb yourself to get through the workweek - booze, Netflix, doomscrolling social media - pick your poison. But that’s just giving away more of your free time!
I feel you. I lived this for years until I finally got so burnt out trying to pretend to care about the latest make-work project that.... I don't want to say I invented Quiet Quitting, but I did it before it was cool.
"Slacking off" (aka giving an A- effort) led to a layoff - the best possible thing that could've happened to my career. It gave me the time and space to actually dig deep and think about how I really wanted to spend the second half of my working life.
Maybe you don't have the luxury of a paid sabbatical to go on your dream job vision quest. But I promise you:
With focused effort, you can take control and reroute your career so you actually enjoy your work.
I'm not telling you you’ll find your dream job overnight. But once you figure out what you really want from your career and start making your plan - before you even take the first step - you'll feel so much better.
Whether it means changing jobs, changing careers, or just changing how you do your current job, you'll finally have clarity, a plan, and control over your career. And, I promise: you don't have to start over from scratch to find career fulfillment.
Let's get you out of the endless loop and feeling better about work - and life - than you have in years.
Some fun facts about me:
-
Friends have told me “You should try standup comedy!” I have -- they were wrong! But I do like to keep it appropriately light, even when we get into the heavy stuff.
-
I’m one of those weirdos who truly enjoys running, without any Airpods / music / podcast etc. to keep me company. And I will talk your ear off about minimalist shoes, if you let me (...don’t.)
-
Training and practicing as a Coach has made me a better husband and father. For example, a good coach:
- doesn’t decide for you, but helps you make the right decision for yourself; and
-
…knows when to shut up!
- I would coach for FREE, if I could. I can’t - I’ve got a mortgage - but if I were independently wealthy, I would still do this. That’s how much I love my job! (And I want that for you, too.)
In case you care about credentials: I’ve completed New York University’s Professional Coaching Certification program comprising three semesters of study and over 150 practice and mentor coaching hours in alignment with the standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Prior to making Coaching my full-time job, I spent nearly 20 years in corporate roles of increasing responsibility culminating in a decade of leadership over global teams.
My path to career fulfillment didn’t happen overnight, either.
In fact, even after I'd figured out my long-term career vision, I had to go back into the belly of the corporate beast for a few years to support the plan. It was well worth it. Now I’m doing work that is meaningful and impactful and aligns perfectly with who I am. In short:
I love my job.
You can too.
Let’s do this.
