When I first heard
everything
my cancer diagnosis,
stopped.
At 34, Chris was diagnosed with cancer.
He was in a senior role, delivering results, solving problems — but something deeper was off. The diagnosis didn’t just interrupt his life. It clarified it.
Stripped of titles and timelines, he had to confront harder questions:
*Who am I without the performance? What still matters when everything else falls away?*
Recovery wasn’t about going back. It was about coming home — to values, to congruence, to a pace that didn’t cost him his presence.
From pressure …
to presence
Before becoming a coach …
… Chris spent 15+ years inside organizations — leading teams, managing crises, and building culture. He knows what leadership actually feels like: the pressure, the politics, the quiet fatigue behind high-functioning success.
He also knows what it looks like to come back from disconnection — and lead from alignment instead.
Today, that’s what he offers others:
A relationship that’s steady, honest, and built to hold real leadership, not just performance.
“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
— Marcus Aurelius
My Story
For a long time, I was doing what I thought I was supposed to do — working hard, moving up, collecting all the milestones that were meant to add up to a good life.
Then came the diagnosis. And everything shifted.
That experience woke me up. It made me ask harder questions about who I was, what I wanted, and how I wanted to live.
Since then, I’ve been on a path of conscious leadership — for myself and for others. This video shares that story. I hope it opens something for you.

Why this work
Chris doesn’t coach to fix people.
He creates space for leaders to realign — to lead without abandoning themselves.
Because when leaders lead from presence, everything changes: the pace, the culture, the conversations, the outcomes.
