The return on presence begins here.
Coaching and reflection for thoughtful leaders ready to step out of performance and into alignment — and lead from a quieter, more authentic place.
Know thyself.
You’re a senior leader navigating change
You might be an executive, founder, or department head — respected, successful, but aware that something in your leadership, identity, or direction is shifting.
You’re a purpose-driven professional in transition
You’ve stepped back, stepped out, or are in the midst of re-evaluating what comes next — and want to move forward with clarity, not urgency.
You’re an emerging leader with strong values
You may be early in your leadership journey — building a career, managing a team, or shaping a path that aligns with who you are and how you want to lead.
You did what you were supposed to.
But something still feels off.
On paper, everything’s fine. Better than fine. You’ve come a long way, and you have a lot to show for it.
But inside, there’s a quiet knowing that “success” hasn’t brought the satisfaction or meaning you hoped for.
The body keeps score. So does the soul.
Maybe it’s burnout. Or just a subtle ache you’ve learned to tolerate. Either way, it’s a signal not to be ignored.
This work meets you there.
And if you stick with it, it will stay with you.
Because when your inner and outer lives sync up, everything changes.
You lead with clarity. You live with integrity. You begin to feel like yourself again.
Coaching for when …
-
You’re sensing a shift, and want to meet it with clarity.
PRESENCE
Something’s changing. You don’t need fixing. You need space to pause, reflect, and re-enter your life from a steadier centre.
-
You’ve built a life that looks right — but feels misaligned.
PURPOSE
You’ve achieved what you were supposed to. But somewhere inside, there’s a quiet knowing that something’s off.
-
You’re holding it all together, but quietly burning out.
PASSION
From the outside, everything works. But inside, you’re questioning your self worth and the direction you've taken.
What’s at Stake
Success without self
You have the title, the trust, the track record — but still feel unfulfilled. The cost of achievement without alignment is that it slowly erodes your sense of who you are.
Staying on autopilot
You keep moving, but the direction feels less and less like your own. Momentum replaces meaning, and days blur together without a deeper “why.”
Quiet burnout
You’re functional, even admired, but losing steam and likely to crash. What others call success feels like survival — and it’s only getting heavier.
Embrace the Shift Beneath the Surface
Hi, I’m Chris.
I help professionals navigate turning points in their life and work — moments where the path forward feels unclear, but staying the same no longer fits.
My clients include mid- to senior-level leaders, executives, founders & entrepreneurs — people with the capacity to lead powerfully, but held back by quiet misalignment.
I’ve worked across tech, corporate, nonprofit, and mission-driven sectors, with a steady focus on clarity, alignment, and sustainable leadership.
I’m a Certified Organizational Coach (COC), and PCC ICF level coach based in Vancouver with over 20 + years in cross sector leadership experience.
What the Process Looks Like
Meet what’s true
Before anything shifts, we name what’s real. Slow down, listen inward, and see what no longer fits.
Return to alignment
Clarify what matters. Reconnect with your values and begin leading from presence, not performance.
Go forward, intentionally
From that grounded place, you act with clarity. Changes ripple outward — into your work, your team, your life.
Inward, Outward, Forward.
