I know the journey from being a manager to becoming a true leader can be a challenging one. You’ve probably found yourself in this position not because you wanted to, but because it happened to you. The transition can feel daunting, and I want you to know that you’re not alone in this struggle.

I’m Chris, and I specialize in helping professionals like you make this transformation. I understand the pain points, the doubts, and the daily challenges that come with this shift. But I also know that within you lies the potential to become the leader your team genuinely wants to follow, not just because they have to.

Your Personalized Leadership Transformation

I begin every client engagement with a straightforward diagnostic tool. This tool helps us prioritize your transformation into an authentic leader of high-performing teams. We’ll review your custom diagnostic report together, along with other valuable resources, and craft your personalized 90-day Authentic Leader Plan.

In this plan, we’ll develop your leadership statement, strategies, and values – your north star for future actions. We’ll set clear leadership goals and define the supporting actions needed to achieve them.

Our coaching sessions are conducted over Zoom video, ensuring your privacy and comfort at home or in your office. Confidentiality is paramount, and we’ll clarify what that truly means during our first session.

I’m not a fan of lengthy, dust-collecting coaching notebooks. Instead, I equip you with simple, powerful tools that you can reference as needed, ensuring that you make steady progress.

The Authentic Leader Accountability Difference

You see, just like personal fitness trainers provide accountability, I’m here to create that psychological “sticking point” for you as you work towards your leadership goals. While you could read leadership books and listen to podcasts (and there’s nothing wrong with that – I’m an avid consumer of both), to truly get the results you desire, you need an expert partner in the trenches with you.

My accountability support goes beyond just scheduling consistent time with you. I work side by side with you to implement your goals, strategies, and supporting actions, helping you become the leader your team deserves.

Real Transformation, Real Results

But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what some of my clients have to say:

“As a direct result of working closely with Chris, I was able to discover my own vision of both an ideal leader and the type of leader I aspired to be. The Authentic Leader plan Chris helped me create is an excellent tool that is helping me stay focused on continuously developing my leadership skills and becoming a next-level leader.”

CEO, BGB Technology Inc.

“Morton has worked with Authentic Leader many times for group facilitation, training, strategic planning, consulting, and coaching. For the past several years, Chris has been a sounding board to help us create a clear direction, think through difficult decisions, hold each other accountable, and prioritize the most impactful opportunities.”

President, Morton

My methods are designed to help you become the Authentic Leader™ you were meant to be, not following anyone else’s leadership model.

Your High-Performing Team Awaits

The ultimate goal for all my clients is to transform from their management role into the leader of a high-performing team. This journey leads to newfound confidence, stronger team relationships, and consistent results.

The Gift of Time

I’ll leave you with this: My clients often tell me that the number one surprise benefit they experience in working with me is the gift of time. As a leader, your days are filled to the brim. There’s little time for self-reflection, for looking in the mirror and evaluating your performance and progress, for planning your leadership. Our coaching sessions give you that much-needed time to reflect and plan. It’s only when we pause to reflect that we gain perspective on how far we’ve come and the clear steps required to reach the next level.

I look forward to meeting you. You and your team deserve the experience of a high-performing team led by an Authentic Leader. Schedule a consultation now, and let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
