“As an executive performance coach, I regularly need a coach to bring high-definition clarity to my thinking. No one does it better than my friend, Chris Harrod. What Michael Jordan is to basketball, Chris Harrod is to executive coaching. He asks piercing questions that will move your thinking from waterskiing to scuba diving. Well, what are you waiting for? Give him a call today and invest in you. Your life will be maximized.”

“Chris was my coach during a time of transition for both my career and personal life. Chris's thoughtful questions, and really listening to me, helped me clarify my priorities and to venture down new paths. Every session ended with me a little more at peace and with a direction to explore. "

“Speaking as a client who has had hundreds of sessions over many years with Coach Chris; I would not be the leader I am today ... both personally (at home) and professionally (at work) without his wise counsel. Chris has an astute and uncanny ability to challenge you by invoking and framing thought-provoking questions. His approach has literally forced me to consider other aspects of my challenges I never would've considered on my own!”

“I cannot find enough words to express how grateful I am to have worked with Chris over the last few years. He has helped me to pull things out of myself that I once dared to. Working with Chris has not only helped me to excel in my career, but in my personal endeavors as well. Chris, I look forward to our continued conversations as I prepare to write my next book! Thank you for the judgment free zone!”

“Most of us spend a lifetime searching for purpose. We read books. We journey abroad. Some of us take on new jobs or join community organizations to find meaning and purpose. But Chris Harrod has a unique way of helping people find their purpose. He asks unique and precise questions so that your focus is not on the external but on what the creator has already planted inside of you. He is a great listener and reflects at a very deep level, always asking more of you than what you ask of yourself. If you have looking for someone to challenge you to reach for the highest vision of yourself, Chris is the one. If you are looking for someone who is thought-provoking, resourceful, and a trusted partner who only wants you to succeed both personally and professionally. Chris Harrod is the one to call.”

“I was fortunate enough to secure a spot for a biweekly appointment with Chris in July 2018. Since Chris started to provide support in the form of coaching, my personal and professional life have improved significantly in a variety of ways. Professionally, since having Chris as a coach, I have not only acquired my goal of becoming a federal employee, but I have also earned promotions, and received outstanding performance evaluations. Chris certainly served as a guiding post throughout these successes; through our discussions, I was able to leave each session with mindsets and action items that undoubtedly attributed to my success. On a more personal level, Chris triggered my interest in learning more about emotional intelligence, which has been invaluable. I learned about myself - how I operate, my strengths, motivations, and goals - on a level that I probably wouldn’t have achieved without his coaching. Since he became my coach, there has never been a time we spoke where he didn’t say or ask something that didn’t bring forth an idea, motivation, action, or answer that could help me progress in life..”

“I met coach Chris back in 2017 when he was brought on to do some coaching with the leadership team were I am employed. Not at all my idea. I was very hesitant but coach Chris was very patient and professional. Much to my surprise the coaching sessions I have had has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Truly a blessing. There are things I may have never come to terms with had I not finally gave in to the process. I am a much stronger person both professionally and personally because of it..During these sessions I was challenged to face the person I am and not the representative that I created to stand guard of the defense wall I had created.
Once I let my guard down a little. I began my journey through the process. In order to have any level of success with a coach you must be willing to go through the process. I learned tools that continue to be relevant and help me even today.
One of the things I respect most about coach Chris is his willingness to be open, direct and transparent. He believes in himself and his work. The work that he will do with many of you will be well worth it and life changing. I too believe in coach Chris and his work.
Best wishes for your success with coach Chris.”

“Coach Chris has been such an inspirational presence my life. I am forever grateful. When my journey with Harrod and Associates began, I didn't realize what my life should look like or which direction I should go. When someone asked me, "What do you bring to the table?" I had no answer. Throughout our coaching sessions, Coach Chris never hesitated to call me out on my stuff and always encouraged me to become vulnerable, focused, to go for it, and stop holding back. I had to stop saying what I thought he wanted to hear and start speaking my truth.
His "Coach-isms" always resound in my head and were often displayed around my cubicle at work to remind me of my goals and aspirations. Those pearls of wisdom help keep me on track.
Fast forward a few years, and I stand firmly and declare that I know who I am, the direction I am going; both personally and professionally, and there isn't a table large enough to hold all that I bring!
I have become a more strong, independent woman because of Chris' phenomenal coaching style and the fact that he genuinely cares. He was truly called to do this!!
Keep walking in your calling!!”
