the LYFE Practice
For over 25 years, Chris has worked at the intersection of human performance, high-stakes communication, and creative leadership.
As a director, he's spent his career navigating complex personalities and competing egos. Pressure-cooked environments where the cost of miscommunication is measured in time, money, and trust. That storied experience, built across film sets around the world, has become the foundation of his coaching practice:
Confidence. Presence. Purpose.
Chris works with founders, executives, and high performers who are technically excellent and ready for the next level, but whose internal narrative hasn't caught up yet. We find the subtext. Bridging the gap between who you say you are, and who actually shows up. We rewrite the story you carry into every conversation.
Sessions are tailored to the individual. No templates, no generic frameworks - just honest, focused work on what's actually in the way. To
leave your former era.

TESTIMONIALS

Chris possesses a unique combination of so-called "hard skills" as well as an off the charts EQ. This combination allows Chris to quickly tune in to people and to consistently be able to "read the room." Chris's easygoing nature should not be confused with any type of lack of drive or passion. Chris dives into whatever he's working on full force. Chris builds trusting relationships in an authentic manner. He is selfless and always willing to give of his time and expertise. His ability to connect with people of all backgrounds and to find common ground with them is rare and it's why he's an excellent coach. I've very much enjoyed working with Chris and I believe anyone lucky enough to be coached by Chris will gain tremendously from the relationship and his process.

I worked with Chris during a particularly demanding stretch at Google, when work had started to take over more of my life than I realized. I didn't expect how quickly he'd get past the surface-level stuff and help me understand what was actually driving how I was showing up.
Over three sessions, Chris helped me become more aware of how I was responding to stress, both at work and outside of it. His background in performance and directing gives him a unique perspective on people that feels very different from traditional coaching. He never tells you what to think or do. Instead, he asks thoughtful questions that help you arrive at your own insights. He also incorporates practical techniques like breathing and body work, which gave me something tangible to use when things got stressful.
If you're someone who operates in a high-pressure environment and you're looking for more than another productivity framework, I'd absolutely recommend working with Chris.
