"I suffered from getting lost in the daily demands of my job"
I recognized that while I had an excellent idea for long-term growth, it 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 blueprint for achieving them.

"My Transformation has been nothing short of life-changing"
The transformation I underwent, from tunnel vision to a broader leadership perspective, has been nothing short of life-changing! Engaging with a coach with an engineering background brought a unique dynamic to our sessions. Chris understood the intricacies of my profession and the challenges I faced within it. This shared background allowed us to delve deeper into discussions directly related to my career, making the coaching experience more meaningful and relevant.

"We faced a lot of transitions in leadership, with new and emerging leaders stepping into bigger roles"
I wanted an outside observer to guide us through new projects and strategic thinking. The coaching sessions changed the game for me. I gained confidence and a stronger voice. Role plays allowed me to tackle concerns head-on and present ideas effectively. Now, I can portray my abilities with confidence. My program aligns better with our organization's direction. I now think creatively, push boundaries, and explore new possibilities.

"I can prioritize goals, trim the excess, and have a narrower, focused vision instead of a hectic, wild, free-for-all"
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 for my dedication, time, and persistence. So, in actuality, it's become much harder, but I am saving time and being increasingly productive.

"I still find myself asking the question 'what does this goal look like with the governor off?"
The start to this year has been pretty challenging in ways I wasn’t tested last year - like now we have many more cross-functional partners in the mix requiring alignment, but I’ve been able to navigate it pretty well, or at least better than the past.
My “passion” definitely still shows up to work!
Thank you for your help and working with me! It honestly helped a lot, and I still find myself asking the question “what does this goal look like with the governor off?”. You’re a great coach!

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris, and I have to say it was a game-changer for me."
Before I started his coaching program, my stress levels were at a 9 out of 10. Few months into our 6 month program, I noticed a significant reduction in my stress levels and started taking a more mindful approach to my work.
After a full year of working with Chris, I can say that Chris has an intuitive skillset that helped me optimize how I make decisions, delegate, and interact with others. His array of tools, assessments, and exercises are also super valuable, and I found them extremely helpful in my transformation at work, life, and career.
If you're someone looking to improve how you work with others, or need coaching to help you with your work and/or life challenges, I highly recommend Chris. His coaching program was a great investments for my professional growth. Thanks, Chris!

"In the two plus years that I have known Chris Lalchan, his coaching and advice have been truly influential in my life."
From mental fitness to my personal schedule, the guidance he offers, the resources he recommends, and the questions he asks are consistently spot-on.
When I met Chris I was struggling with anxiety and a lack of self-confidence. These problems had plagued me for most of my adult life and seemed to be getting worse.
Chris offered guidance in a group setting where members offered one another insight and mutual support.
During the guided PQ practice I was able to actually focus on my breathing and quiet the storm of unwanted thoughts.
Since starting to work with Chris, I have launched a new phase of my career and improved my relationships in all areas of my life.

"The coaching sessions were a game-changer for me."
I gained newfound confidence and found my voice as a leader. Also, Chris helped me align my program with our organization's direction and think more expansively without feeling limited. He is a coach that genuinely cares about his clients. Chris' approach is thoughtful and will challenge you in a way that is both supportive and effective.

"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.
