Private Mentoring for Executive Leaders
When Steaks Are High, Clarity Isn't Optional
Your Next Chapter Deserves Intentional Leadership.
This isn’t traditional consulting. It’s a strategic thought partnership that delivers impact for you and your organization.
The Art of Strategic Questioning
At the heart of my coaching methodology is a unique questioning, and action-oriented approach developed through decades of business leadership and refined by my Harvard Business School case-method training.
Unlike traditional coaching that follows prescribed methodologies, I approach each client's situation as a unique series of case studies waiting to be explored, understood, and addressed. My questions and adaptive frameworks help executives to break down complex challenges into manageable components while simultaneously illuminating connections and opportunities to take informed action. This approach transforms our sessions into dynamic, and collaborative investigations where you become the case subject, analyst, problem-solver, and emergent strategist.
The power lies not just in the answers and alternative approaches we discover together, but in how this process teaches you to develop your own strategic questioning skills — ultimately equipping you to demonstrate and pass these skills on to established and emergent leaders throughout your organization.
From the Executive Suite to the Coaching Chair
HI, IM CHRIS ANDERSON
Having served as both a group president and chief strategy officer, I understand the weight of decision-making and the isolation that often accompanies leadership roles. This firsthand experience allows me to quickly grasp the nuances of your business situation, anticipate obstacles before they emerge, recognize patterns that might otherwise remain hidden, and offer practical insights rather than textbook solutions.
My approach blends this real-world experience with sophisticated coaching methodologies, creating a powerful partnership that one client described as “one of the most valuable experiences of my professional career to date.”

Where Strategy Meets Leadership
Most executives are stronger in either strategic thinking or leadership execution — few truly excel at both. The most successful organizations, however, require this integration.
My coaching helps you bridge this critical gap by revealing how your leadership style affects your strategic perception and options, demonstrating how strategic clarity empowers more confident leadership decisions, identifying where organizational structure and culture either support or undermine your strategy, and developing practical approaches to ensure strategic intentions translate into operational reality.
A good mentor doesn’t give you direction—they help you see your own more clearly.

Clearer thinking and faster decision-making
Renewed confidence in your leadership instincts
Tools to manage high-stakes transitions with calm
A sounding board who knows what’s at stake

Expanded influence without sacrificing authenticity

Beyond Individual Growth
While my coaching begins with your development as a leader, its impact extends far beyond personal growth. The true measure of my work's success is its lasting effect on your organization.
My clients consistently report that our work together creates:
A cascading effect where their teams begin adopting similar questioning and problem-solving
Improved strategic clarity that aligns decision-making throughout the organization
Enhanced leadership bench strength as executives learn to develop their own teams more effectively
More agile responses to market changes and competitive pressures
Sustainable financial improvements that outlast our coaching engagement
