Chris Raines, Certified Personal Strengths Coach

Dave B.:

I’d like to take the opportunity to recognise Chris for the StrengthsFinder session he ran for our Global Commercial Credit leadership team in Phoenix. As I said at the time, it was a great learning and team building exercise for our team. Chris brought all his energy and experience to deliver an excellent session. The perfect combination of passion for the subject, expert knowledge and excellent presentation skills. Thank you!!!

Aarti C.:

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much for taking out time and meeting us. I am so overwhelmed with the power of this strength it is difficult for me to describe in an email. I feel totally motivated and so very confident. Also, I do want to say your passion to make people know their inner strengths is magnificent!

I would love to know more about my strength-story and get your perspective on the same. 

Kelsey C.:

I just wanted to say thank you for today’s workshop. In school we don’t always talk about human dynamics and how people can be successful in different ways rather than just getting an A. These sessions make people fell like they are important in so many ways and I am thankful we have someone like you to lead us through that journey. Even though I did not write a mid-year due to my recent start date it was great to participate and learn things about my teammates.

Kathleen C.:

Hi Chris,

I wanted to send a quick note of thanks for your time with the GBI leadership team and me individually reviewing StrengthsFinder over the past two weeks. Your expertise and passion for this space has been very evident.

I’ve found our conversations to be very beneficial and believe it will enable even greater effectiveness of our team and general collaboration. Happy to provide a testimonial on the value if ever needed!

Patricia G.:

Good afternoon Chris! 

I completed my assessment about a year ago during a session for a LEAD program, but I never received the kind of attention to these results as I had today. I gained so much insight and explanation from you that it made my Strengths seem way more applicable than I had already known they were. Will take your advice and “homework” and certainly begin to apply them to my every day routine. 

Thank you so very much for your time and expertise, definitely looking forward to becoming more involved in this in the future. 

Saisha S.:

Thank you for an amazing session Chris.

I will definitely find myself listening to the recording. You are gifted in the ability of  sharing insights with thought and humor. I hope you we get to hear you more .. maybe Ted Talks 😊

Brandon L.:

Hey Chris,

I don’t know if you remember, but you and I had a chat about my strengths after the strength finder session. We had a wonderful talk where you mentioned to me about the podcasts of each of my strengths and to listen to them. And when I finished, I should set up another chat.

I have had a well-rounded experience in IT at work in part thanks to you and your strength finder session. I want to give you my biggest thanks for helping me understand myself better in terms of my career, I don’t think my internship would have been as successful without it and have no doubt it will serve me well going forward.

I now understand why you enjoy those sessions so much, it’s a wonderful way to conceptualize and harness one’s strengths while helping others.

Thank you so much for the session and the chat afterwards. They were invaluable.

Very Best and Kind Regards.

Chris did a strengths finder session for my team yesterday. He was absolutely wonderful, and created such a relaxed, engaging and positive environment on webex, and the time flew by….Chris’s passion for this is so infectious and I can’t say enough.

Maggie B.:

I just wanted to drop you a note to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for an incredible session with my team on Thursday. I had great feedback from the team… I have to say I personally found it incredibly illuminating and it’s made me really reflect about how we talk about talent, leadership and development within my organization.
