TESTIMONIALS

Michael McAnally Baum
President, SmackSongs

"I found Chris at exactly the right time in my career and for my company’s future. He has helped me define my vision and delegate it to my team allowing me to achieve a work life balance that has made be a better leader, father and husband."

ROBERT HARTLINE
owner, absolute wireless of tennessee

“Chris has been instrumental in helping Absolute Wireless push to the next level.  Whether it's coaching leadership through tough decisions or holding me accountable - everyone has to answer to someone.  Chris will not tell you what you want to hear but what needs to be said.  Good, bad or ugly, that truth can set you free.  If you are looking for someone to challenge you to be better and grow as leader and you are willing to do the work, then hire Chris.”  

Beth Laird
ceo, creative nation

"I’ve looked for years to find a business coach that understood working with creative entrepreneurs.  Most people I spoke with just didn’t understand my business model and tried to change it.  Chris has been great.  He encourages me to be creative while also helping me improve my team communication and have a better understanding of my business financials.” 

wendy whittmore
OWNER, AERIAL INNOVATIONS

“Chris was a huge part of helping me scale my business as I led a multi-million dollar company across state lines. During that acquisition, he gave me tools to blend best practices and cultures between the two companies. Chris helped us improve systems in a way that others can follow easily. He immediately got me out of my comfort zone by modifying my leadership style to get the best results from others. I was blown away by how quickly he helped me understand the balance of People, Sales, Profit and Self.“

EDDIE STEWART
CEO, STEWART TRANSPORTATION

“We hired Chris when we were at a crossroads inside our business. His counsel, third-party objectivity and advice was exactly what we needed. He helped to clear the air and put us back on the path to success. He’s great listener. I tell him that sitting with him is like going to business therapy. He really helps me to see my business from all sides. I recommend Chris to my fellow entrepreneurs all the time.”

KAREN ROBBINS
PRESIDENT, STEWART TRANSPORTATION

“Chris presented the DISC Profile workshop to our team at our company retreat a few years ago. His delivery and presentation style is engaging, warm and friendly. The learnings from this workshop continue to resonate as we lead our team members in a collaborative work environment. Knowing each other on a DISC level helps our team to be more empathetic to different work styles. We are definitely “gear shifting” in our organization after spending time with Chris and the results have been eye-opening.

RYAN B. SMALL
PRESIDENT AND CEO, BLUE DOG MERCH

“Chris has been invaluable to Blue Dog Merch. He has been an advisor and coach during the growth and scale of my business, helping to implement unique leadership solutions related to People, Sales and Profits. He’s helped me make good choices to build an organization where I can be accountable for the business as it grows, rather than being responsible for the day-to-day activity. Most importantly, he taught me how to gain results through other people rather than just doing everything myself.”

CLAY NEUMAN
CEO, VISION ENTERTAINMENT

“Chris knows the ins and outs of my business and what is truly needed to scale. He has a keen eye on my blind spots and has escalated the productivity of our entire team in ways I could have never imagined. Our entire ecosystem lives on Basecamp. He has taught me and the team the true value of learning and utilizing our DISC profiles to communicate more effectively. I can't understate the importance of this skill set. The Godfather had his Consigliere, Luke Skywalker had his Yoda and I'm internally grateful to have Chris. He is an invaluable asset to Vision Entertainment. He is truly my co-pilot.”
