Hi, I'm Chris.

I started Empowered Achievers to empower high achievers like you to take ownership of your professional lives and build careers that truly light you up. Lofty ambition, huh?

I feel so strongly about this work because I’ve likely been where you are right now…

Back in 2014, I was working at an ad agency in San Francisco, and on the surface, everything seemed amazing. I had Google as my main client, and we were churning out award-winning campaigns. But as time went on, I started feeling like something was missing. I had fallen into my role without truly considering if it aligned with what I wanted.

That realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I was successful on paper, yet deep down, I lacked that spark and excitement for my job. It was my very own existential crisis, and it turned my world upside down. I knew there had to be more to my career than just going through the motions.

So, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. I got curious about myself, peeled back the layers of preconceived notions, and started uncovering what truly lit me up inside. It wasn't easy, but with each step, I felt a renewed sense of empowerment and clarity.

Years later, I'm on a mission to empower others to make that same kind of change in their own lives. I want you to experience the fulfillment and joy that comes from aligning your career with your authentic self. Together, we'll navigate the pressures to prove, overcome burnout, and find a path that feels truly fulfilling to you.

I can't wait to meet you and help you unlock your true potential. Let's do this!
