Get More of What You Want From Your BusinessI know firsthand the stress and burnout that come when a business outgrows its foundation. For too many years, I worked nights and weekends and sacrificed my health and precious time with my family because I was “running” the business. In reality, the business was running me!In 2018, with the help of a coach, the family-owned business I led began implementing a Growth Operating System.Within a few years, we transformed the company from a break-even business into one that shared more than $1 million in profits with its employees. Just as importantly, I learned how to lead the company while still having a life outside of work. I learned to love my work again.Today, I am on a mission to share what I have learned and help business leaders achieve greater peace, prosperity, and freedom in their businesses.So, are you running your business, or is it running you?I'd love to hear your story!

Who I HelpI work with business owners and leadership teams in three different situations:1. Growing so fast that the business feels out of control. Chaos reigns, and it is overwhelming. Some days, you feel like a dog running on a tile floor—lots of activity but little forward progress!2. Growth has stalled, and you're not sure how to reinvigorate it. The business is in a rut, and you're not sure how to get out of it. Profit is shrinking, competition lurks, and you feel stuck.3. The business is doing great, but you want to take it to the next level. You are growing and profitable, but you have a vision of excellence you haven't yet been able to make real.I help owners and leadership teams create the clarity, alignment, and accountability to move forward with confidence—and gain more freedom to enjoy life inside and outside the business.If this sounds like your situation and you want help, let's connect.I generally work with businesses with $5 million to $150 million in revenue and 10 to 300 employees. However, I will talk to anyone who wants help and is ready to make changes and follow through.I know the stress and worry that can accompany business challenges—especially when all you've worked for, and sometimes all you have, is on the line. If I can help you find a path to peace, I will.
About MeMy passion is helping business owners and leadership teams turn vision into disciplined execution and sustainable growth. As a Bloom Growth Coach, I guide companies through a proven Growth Operating System that strengthens alignment, accountability, communication, and results.My approach is grounded in more than 30 years of leadership experience, from front-line supervisor to president and COO. Along the way, I have led several successful business turnarounds and facilitated hundreds of coaching sessions with dozens of teams, drawing from a wide range of business improvement tools and philosophies.Since 2018, I have experienced a Growth Operating System from both sides: first as a business leader implementing and running the system with the guidance of a coach, and now as a coach helping other leaders do the same. This gives me a practical understanding of what it takes to build new leadership habits, integrate the system into daily operations, and achieve lasting results.After all of that experience, I am convinced that the Bloom Growth Operating System is one of the most practical and effective ways to get a business operating like a well-oiled machine, quickly and sustainably.At this stage in my career, I am no longer focused on building my own success. My purpose now is to share what I have learned and help business owners and leaders build healthier, more successful companies while rediscovering the joy, purpose, and freedom they want from their work and their lives.
Testimonial“In 2018 we were essentially break-even; by the end of 2023 we’d shared more than $1 million in profits with our employees. What Chris installed wasn’t a strategy — it was a way of running the company that kept us clear on priorities, honest about our problems, and accountable to each other every week”Matt Erfman, Former CEO & Owner, Dakotaland Manufacturing
