Chris McConnell, Client Testimonials
'Chris McConnell is the premier business consultant and trusted advisor
for helping both organizations and individuals meet and, more likely, exceed their goals.
I have had the privilege to work with Chris in several capacities – as a speaker at a large conference,
leading a small group of seasoned executives, in a small working group focused on a particular project
and as my personal executive coach. She amazes me every time. Chris has incredible insight,
uncanny intuition and a wealth of experience, which she shares openly, honestly and courageously,
to enable an executive to discover their true purpose and potential in the world.
She has the unique skill to consider the needs of both the organization and the individual
to achieve phenomenal results for all concerned.'

'Chris McConnell is the unique coach, and advisor, who helped me find the strengths I had to leverage,
recognize the areas I had to shore up, and identify the passion and purpose that led to my ultimate success.
She not only helped analyze where I have been, she helped me find where I wanted to go
and she illuminated the path to take me there. I am forever grateful for her direction, her support,
and her vision. Most importantly, Chris not only helped me - she helped the entire community of women
at AXA Equitable. Chris inspired me to create a summit for women, materials, guides,
and a website dedicated to women. She guided the process, enabled the day, and saw the possibilities
where others had not imagined such an effort could ever take place. The programs that we created
were the foundation for a global movement across AXA to recognize, acknowledge and motivate women
across the entire company. Those programs continue to this day.'

'Chris McConnell's life purpose is transformation...
to help others design their lives for maximum impact and satisfaction.
She methodically guided me to plan my next chapter as I approached retirement.
We developed and implemented a plan to create a balance of business, charity, learning and fun...
that combination has created an absolutely wonderful and fulfilling life.
Everyone I meet says 'You seem to have had a plan and you seem so happy - how did you do it?'
The answer is clearly Chris and her wise counsel.'

'Being a senior business leader is very rewarding yet also comes with its challenges,
one of which is being so insular. Chris McConnell is a trusted business partner
with strong core values, an extraordinary network, and a genuine passion,
deep commitment and caring for those she advises. You can count on her to be honest and direct,
will keep you laser focused on the areas that need to be challenged or developed, and will be there as your partner,
cheering you on with each achievement.'
