When Marshall Goldsmith asked Frank Wagner to oversee the design and training of coaches in his coaching methodology to help successful people, Frank immediately asked Chris to work with him in the design and execution of the Stakeholder Centered Coaching^® process. With his prior background as a successful actor in Hollywood he immediately added important insights and applications for our behavioral approach to coaching leaders.   Over the past two decades Chris and Frank have led the coach certification process for the Stakeholder Centered Coaching^® network that now is in the thousands, while maintaining an active coaching practice himself. Only active, and highly successful, coaches as measured by the degree of improvement of leaders by their stakeholders are used to prepare those joining our coaching network.
