Learn About Chris Thide
Navigating a high-stress career spanning investment banking, finance, technology, and retail, I found success but not satisfaction. After nearly 20 years of climbing the corporate ladder, the realization struck: true fulfillment comes only from aligning work with passion. Inspired by my family, I embarked on a journey of transformation. Now, as I pursue ICF Certified Coach accreditation through NYU, I'm dedicated to helping others redesign their careers and lives for genuine happiness. Let's together unlock your potential and create the life you've always envisioned.
