“I worked with Chris at WSP and experienced his gift and passion for supporting others to achieve professional and personal development goals. As a former 'shy kid', I appreciated Chris' sensitive approach to feedback and coaching - I felt seen and understood. Beyond identifying areas for improvement, he offers personalized, impactful, and achievable ways to really change. His approach supported me to develop more confidence and find my authentic consulting voice. I highly recommend Chris. He knows what he's doing.”
