What others say about working with me

A few years ago while participating in a class taught by Dr. Lynda Falkenstein, author of the book Nichecraft, I was introduced to an exercise that I found to be most enlightening and useful to me in revealing how I was perceived by others.

I interviewed 25 people using the same set of 5 questions. The interviewees included members of my family, a dear friend I have known since age 12, professionals I had worked with for 5-10 years, and people who I had known just a few months and with whom I had only brief interactions. It was utterly amazing how much consistency there was among the responses. Here are some examples to illustrate that point:

Chris facilitates people becoming clear about who they are, what they need to do so they leave with a renewed sense of clarity and commitment to action – not because she prescribed it but because she enables them to find it.
Chris leaves people more thoughtful about who they are, why they do what they do and what results they are getting from it.
Chris leaves me feeling accepted for my own humanity and reconnected to my own guidance.
Chris is an energy source. She leaves me with an improved outlook and increased strength to do what I need to do.
People come away from Chris feeling they are “more” than they might have thought.

I am honored and grateful for the kind feedback people have offered to me. I hope I continue to be that which has been described above for all of those with whom I have the privilege of serving.
