Choir Baton

In this episode, my professor at North Carolina University in the MBA program shares his insight about changing professions, transferrable skills, and the value of teachers.
Chris is an adjunct professor, strategy, leadership and innovation consultant, and the President and COO of a boutique management consulting firm. He has served in six general management and senior level roles, ranging from startups, state agencies, turnarounds, and high growth companies over his 35 + year career.
Chris has led strategy and leadership workshops for over 6,300 aspiring, emerging, and mid-level leaders. He’s also led executive development programs for over 2,000 senior and C-suite leaders from the Dept of Defense (O-5 to O-10), federal and state government, engineering, healthcare, IT, professional service firms, education, and non-profit sectors throughout the United States.
A former basketball official, school principal, and Eagle Scout, Chris earned his Ph.D. at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1990. He earned his B.A. (1981) and M.A. (1982) from Austin College in Sherman, TX. He and his wife of over 30 years have two adult children and two grandchildren.
