I believe passionately in the power of authentic living and the necessity of a supportive, understanding community for LGBTQIA+ individuals, in the workplace and in society in general. As a gay man, I have experienced firsthand the unique challenges and triumphs that come with navigating identity, relationships and personal growth, especially in the workplace.
Coming out at work (often repeatedly), being our authentic selves and harnessing our true talent can be central to happiness and health in the workplace, but navigating these can be hard, especially for young leaders.
"Having Chris, who is also part of the LGBT+ community, as my coach has been incredibly empowering. The coaching sessions always felt safe, and it’s been invaluable to work with someone who truly understands the unique challenges and beliefs stemming from growing up gay. For the first time, I was able to acknowledge and explore how these challenges intersect with my professional life."
"Working with Chris has been a transformative experience in my career and personal development. His unwavering support was instrumental in launching our company's ED&I journey, particularly our LGBTQ+ network group. He played a crucial role in empowering its members and coaching the group chairs. Under his guidance, we initiated and drove our network group’s ED&I journey, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment within the organisation.
Chris has a unique ability to inspire and bring out the best in others. His leadership helped me navigate my career with greater confidence and enabled me to contribute meaningfully to our company’s culture. His coaching approach is insightful and empowering, providing the tools and encouragement needed for everyone involved to thrive.
I am immensely grateful for his mentorship, and I don’t doubt that anyone who works with him will experience the same positive impact on their professional and personal growth."
