Development Begins on the Inside

Hi, my name is Chris Sena, and for over a decade I have coached, developed, and mentored leaders as both an executive coach and Fortune 15 HR executive.

I believe that becoming acutely aware of one's inner world (personality, natural strengths, self-talk, motivations) is foundational to developing and sustaining the skills, behaviors, and attitudes needed to achieve leadership goals on the outside. I leverage my background in psychology to drive client awareness/mastery of “the inside” while leaning on my HR leadership experience to help them practically navigate complex business situations.

As a “stakeholder-centered” coach, I engage key co-workers in the development process and change the frame through which they see you. I use a high-touch, transparent, and results-oriented approach to all engagements - with a bias toward generating practical solutions that get to the heart of what my clients need most.

"Chris helped me to determine what it is that I really wanted and the best way to get there. His approach was a complete 180 degrees from my way of thinking. He challenges my perspectives and gave me another point of view, while still being "on my side.”

I had the opportunity to work with Chris in a leadership development program over the course of several months. He was very professional and provided excellent guidance. He worked with me to develop an action plan after interviewing my peers. In future sessions, Chris was able to react quickly to current real-world scenarios and provide feedback.
