Become a Top Mentor with Chris

Chris is amazing--he's truly everything you could want in a mentor (and more)! He's professional, knowledgeable, supportive, empathic,... and the list goes on. Chris is great at attentively listening and understanding where you are and where you want to go. Feedback is both gentle and incredibly useful--he does an excellent job at mixing positive reinforcement with honest and direct notes on things you may be missing. I was surprised to find that some of the most valuable lessons I've taken away thus far have been from the soft skills / human-centered conversations we've had. In particular, Chris primed me to cultivate more compassion for the clients I'm serving and truly empathize with them in a way that beyond selling -- e.g. referring a client to someone who may be better suited to fit their needs if it seemed like that was actually in their best interest, like if it was an issue of budget or fit. This one shift has led to clients trusting me more, and has elevated the way I approach problem solving and value delivery. I came to him as a recent college graduate looking to grow my niche web design business, but I've gotten so much more out of our sessions, and I can't wait to continue with Chris.

Chris is a great mentor! I learnt a lot during the mentoring with him. He takes time to understand your goals and how you can achieve them, he is always ready to answer on every question. I highly recommend him. Thank you Chris!

My mentorship with Chris was one of the best things I did this year. Not only did he give very helpful, practical, and precise advice as I improved my graphic design portfolio during a career shift, but he was very kind and supportive, helping me return to a healthy mindset at a time when I was feeling discouraged. I have a tendency to plan way ahead, overthink, and get overwhelmed by my own goals, but he navigated me through organizing those goals into more manageable, actionable, bite-sized chunks. I'm very grateful for the time I spent working with him!

Chris is the mentor dreams are made of. He provides thoughtful yet critical feedback, while being patient, and encouraging at the same time. He is also timely with his responses and immensely professional. We achieved all the design deliverables we set out to create and I'm so proud of each. Thank you for your time and effort and motivation. You will be missed, Chris!
