I came to Chris needing to work on communication to enhance my visibility at work and increase my opportunity for career growth. I found it hard to speak on the spot because I was worried I’d say the wrong thing, my brain would get into a freeze state, and I needed a lot of time to think. Even when I did speak up, I couldn’t easily take all the information I knew and structure it crisply. After completing Chris’ coaching program, I have noticed a significant shift in the way I approach meetings, presentations, and my overall professional presence. Thanks to the science-backed habits he taught me for managing nerves, thinking quickly, and communicating with clarity, I can enter a room with experts and not feel overwhelmed. I can get a question I don’t know the answer to, and answer without hesitation. I have so much more mental space to think of what to say because I know what structure to use and how to approach questions strategically. Lately, I’ve received many more opportunities at work to speak and they’ve all been going good because of my greater confidence. Reflecting on where I started just a few months ago, I realize how much effective communication has accelerated my growth, giving me the tools I need to get the promotion I want, and succeed in my career as a whole.
