Business Coaching Calgary

Technology and engineering industries have gone through decades of transition.  The most successful organizations will continue to adapt, change, and transition through transformative leadership that spurs technological and social innovation.

How will your organization evolve?  

Let’s explore what that looks like for you.

It's No Secret

Swaths of industries are facing disruption and there's still lingering uncertainty of what a recovery looks like

In our current economic climate if you want your organization to succeed, you’ve got to ensure that your leaders can adapt and thrive in a highly dynamic and competitive industry. You’ve got to focus on solutions instead of doing what most companies do – point fingers and complain about the problem.

Success is no longer based on profitability alone. It’s determined by your willingness to create a culture of innovation, creativity, and engagement with all of your stakeholders to produce sustained bottom-line results.

Hey, I'm Chris

As an engineer with 14+ years of experience in the energy sector I know what it’s like to want to fast-forward past the soft skills and get to that part that tells me what to do, how to do it and why it’s done that way.

But as a coach, I know that ingenuity comes in two forms – technical and social. Organizations who see the greatest success are the ones that can engage their entire workforce.

Today’s top leaders cultivate a culture of team players focusing on cohesiveness and purpose of the group rather than trying to adapt to outdated styles on leadership – approaches like “it’s my way or the highway” and “trust me, I have experience” that diminish their relationship with their peers and employees.

If you are an emerging leader, engineering manager/director, Vice President, or CEO, I’ll provide the blueprint that can help you plan your organizational strategy. I will guide you to build a shared vision between you and your team so you can grow your business right now by being a proactive, technical, and people focused leader.

Others That Have Trusted my Approach:

"Chris showed up at our sessions with an open mind and desire to empower me so I could find my own solutions. Though we are polar opposites, I never felt judged. Calm and caring were evident and he had an array of tools to suggest. Consistency and roundedness shine through. I learned to take responsibility for my emotions. Through the six sessions, Chris helped me move closer to my goal.

I was employed by Boardwalk Rental Communities and without Chris I could not achieve what I have accomplished at this company short period of time. He taught me how to set SMART goals and how to achieve them. I was promoted twice within the time that Chris mentored/coached me. Chris is my mentor, guide, and now a friend of mine. He taught me how to properly network with people, building strong relations and connections with them.

A very keen awareness I have gained from working with Chris is the analogy of the “Check Engine Light”. The light goes on and I can treat it as a sign to look deeper, and objectively deal with the issue instead of being intimidated by it. I like the way it allows me to recognize negative energy from some interaction or experience as a discovery of an improvement opportunity rather than a new way to beat myself up. Being a perfectionist it’s difficult to let go of the personal expectations and sense of “not good enough”, and this has worked for me to let go and realize the advantages of this new awareness and work with it, not against it.

Prior to coaching, speed of execution was not as fast as I would have liked. I never had a coach before and I believe I needed someone to be held accountable to, bounce ideas off of, and confirm suspicions so I could make decisions faster and be more accurate. I knew Chris' coaching was working well for me when most of the goals that were laid out were getting accomplished on time or early. Chris holds me to account on my dedication, time, and persistence. So in actuality it's become much harder but I am more saving time and being increasingly productive. I am able to prioritize goals, trimming off the excess and having a narrower focused vision instead of a hectic wild free for all.

Before engaging with Chris’ group coaching program, I was insecure, afraid to speak up and stick up for myself, and a mental wreck. I felt frustrated that setting meaningful boundaries was an everyday struggle that I couldn’t overcome independently. I was initially hesitant to engage with a coach because I wasn’t sure how much I could trust working with Chris. However, I knew that coaching was working for me when I could be more assertive and set boundaries with my family. Since engaging in group coaching, I have had better mental health, and I am 20 lbs lighter! Ultimately, Chris has helped me ground myself and regain some confidence. The mental fitness group coaching program I was involved with was wonderful, and I learned a lot about myself and where some of my thoughts come from. Chris’ coaching is fantastic! Chris always asks the right questions to lead me to come up with answers to my own.

"I recently did a 30 minute coaching session with Chris - the shortest coaching session I've ever done and perhaps one of the most effective. I came away with a better understanding of the issues and simple strategies to improve communication and productivity. I would highly recommend Chris and love his coaching style"

Chris listens and reflects well. He highlights my strengths and brings the focus back to what is working well. I tend to have a problem with bringing down my goal into the specific tasks and set a reasonable timeframe for completion. Chris' Engineering and Project management background provided a great value in solving this problem. I managed to define my target market and how I am going to serve them better. As a result of this coaching engagement, I feel confident in my ability to move forward and have a greater sense of who I am and who I am not.

I suffered from getting lost in the day to day demands of my job and recognized that while I had a great ideas for long term growth they would never become a reality unless I did something about it. Only 30 minutes once a week with Chris gave me the focus and direction I was looking for. Within four sessions with Chris, he had me clarify short and long term goals and a blue print on how to achieve them.

Chris has definitely been very helpful to me in striving to accomplish my professional and personal goals. He was not afraid to challenge me with some pretty tough and thought provoking questions; some that required me to do a great deal of self reflection. I was surprised at how much I opened up and allowed myself to be vulnerable and share considering I was hesitant at first about the process. I believe all of this is a testament to his skills as a professional coach.
Angie PProgram Development Officer at Non-Profit Firm
Working with Chris has helped me to set professional and personal goals. I have been able to organize in a more systematic way. He has offered perspective on how to track my achievements and how to learn in a fast pace. I have become more deliberate in networking by developing the confidence to speak with various subject matter experts within my organization and industry. I realized regular meetings with Chris was working for me when I saw that I was able to leave my comfort zone. His vision made me see why trying something new is worth it. As a result, I have been able see where I am going in to future and how my current decisions are taking me to where I want to be.
Yoshinori C, E.I.T. Junior Process Engineer
I was struggling with anxiety and a lack of self-confidence before meeting Chris. These problems had plagued me for most of my adult life and seemed to worsen. I knew that I was getting a handle on effectiveness when I could focus on my breathing and quiet the storm of unwanted thoughts. From mental fitness to my schedule, the guidance he offers, the resources he recommends, and the questions he asks are consistently spot-on. As the best coaches do, he rarely offers an opinion but guides his clients to reach their conclusions by asking practical questions. Chris has been a genuine influence in my life. I have launched a new phase of my career and, more importantly, improved my relationships in all areas of my life.
