Growth Coach of Pittsburgh Endorsements
|
|
|
| Ron Morris, Host, The American Entrepreneur & Pittsburgh Business RadioAn on-air endorsement by Ron Morris of Chuck Chrissis - "What a great guy! What a phenomenal individual! Just a wonderful attitude! … I remember when I met him; he really kind of swept me off my feet with his enthusiasm. And the fact that he looks you dead square in the eye and the guy obviously has been successful at everything he’s done and now he’s thrilled to be out on his own. I don’t often recommend guests for clients, but I would strongly recommend Chuck Chrissis. I can see where this guy could be of tremendous benefit to somebody who has their own business and is looking to take it to the next level. I would highly recommend him. A great guy and I think you would be well served to hire him."
Listen to a 15-minute discussion between Ron and Chuck that was broadcast live from the David L. Lawerence Convention Center at the Healthy For Life Expo. We hope you enjoy the first few minutes listening to Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the segment! If your hear something that stikes a chord in you, call us. We will listen to you and discuss your situation in confidence.

|
| Darren Shue, Owner & Co-Founder, Journey-Outdoors, Inc.
The Strategic Mindset Program for Business Owners is a needed tool for any business owner or anyone who considers himself an entrepreneur. In my most recent workshop, I had multiple revelations that have helped me become more strategic and effective.
I’d like to take the time to let you know how much working with you the past several months has meant to me. As you are well aware, starting a business from scratch is a tough proposition. However, your coaching has helped me focus on creating and working through established processes rather than just addressing “urgent” matters as they arise. This new tool in my business life is helping me to achieve a balance between personal and professional life that I’ve not easily reached in past years.
My partner and I are more confident than ever that our new venture will not only succeed, but flourish. I am writing this note to you on the eve of another weekend that he and I will be working directly on our flagship product offering. We are finalizing design with a mock-up and once we agree on some of the details we will have a series of prototypes made. I want to thank you for helping us clear away the fog of confusion during this critical time in our company’s development.

| Jeff Farbacher, Owner, Acutran ManufacturingAfter working for twenty years in Fortune 500 companies, I have significant experience in strategic planning and creating action plans to implement a strategic plan. However, in the day to day operation of my business I frequently find myself caught up in the ‘trivial many’ details. With Chuck as my Growth Coach, I’ve been able to refocus on the important aspects of my business. Chuck is a great mentor and has been able to help me reorient my focus toward the issues within my business that will make it grow. |
|
| Mike Doman, Wealth Manager, Commonwealth Advisory GroupAfter just one One-on-One Coaching Session with Chuck Chrissis, he got me thinking about my marketing efforts more strategically. I began to focus on increasing assets and revenue from my existing client base. Within one week, I increased assets with one client by $700,000 and recurring, annual revenue by $3,500. |

| Dennis Carleton, Attorney, Fox RothschildI have enjoyed participating in the Quarterly Strategic Mindset Retreats. As you know, I have been very busy in my business. I must tell you that if I hadn’t taken the time to strategically think about my activities, I would have continued to make some costly and crucial mistakes. While I was convinced I was too busy to attend the quarterly workshops, I am very thankful I did.
Like you said, your coaching process only requires one day each quarter to improve my business and personal life – 4 days per year! Thanks for being persistent. If not, I would still be overwhelmed and overworked. There is not an aspiring entrepreneur alive, the busier the better, who could not benefit dramatically from your quarterly coaching process.
Because of your excellent facilitation skills and your coaching & accountability process, I feel more at peace and in control. Furthermore, and maybe most importantly, I am more confident because I now have a strategic mindset and focus and much greater clarity about my vision, direction and goals for my law practice. Thank you!
I am confident the year-round accountability process will ensure my critical goals and necessary changes are fully implemented and achieved. Your quarterly coaching process was well worth the time and money. I look forward to continuing the process to help me develop strategies and 90-day action plans that will help me grow my business in a proactive, strategic way. |

| Ed Gallitelli, Sales Executive, Bull'sEye MarketingChuck presented information during our Sales Team Coaching workshops in a professional, yet a down-to-earth style that promoted meaningful interaction and open discussion. It was great! |
|
| Charlie Cobb, Partner, Manufacturers Rep FirmThe Growth Coach's Sales Team Coaching program is an essential tool for self-evaluation of your selling habits and identification of what you can do to improve your thinking, planning, and actions. |

| Jerry Schmitt, Head Football Coach, Duquesne UniversityAs a Division 1 Head Football Coach, continuous professional growth is essential. The Growth Coach has presented me with the opportunity to learn how to better manage my football program from a different, more strategic perspective. The management of a college football program using proven business principles and strategies has enhanced my productivity, effectiveness, and leadership. The results have been measurable for my entire program. After just two Quarterly Strategic Mindset Retreats, I have learned how to effectively implement a number of new ideas and work “on” the improvement of our program as opposed to working “at” my job. I am excited to continue learning, developing new strategies, and exchanging ideas with my coach, Chuck Chrissis and others in my group during upcoming retreats. |

| Carl Buzzeo, Financial Representative, Ameritas Financial Services
The Strategic Mindset Program has been a great resource to me as a Self-Employed Professional; especially working "on" the strategy of my business. The concept of reducing limiting beliefs has been a big part of it too.
|
|
| Scott Ivol, Financial Professional, Benefits NetworkI have never been more impressed with a program laid out for business owners and entrepreneurs. Each and every topic was relevant and presented in a meaningful manner. After just one Quarterly Strategic Mindset Retreat for business owners, I have been more effective, focused and productive with the use of my time both professionally and personally. Thank you very much Chuck! |
|
| Diane Norcross, Heathcare Executive, Regional Health Care CompanyThe Strategic Manager program helped me get clarity on just how much I have been doing that is putting out fires versus developing, managing, and improving my departmental processes and staff. It has also helped me gain alignment with my boss. |
