If Not Now, When?

This question, or a variation thereof, has precipitated some of the most meaningful changes in my life and career. When I reflect on my 30-year journey as a marketing executive, and entrepreneur, it might look like a rollercoaster to some;
I like to think of it as hang-gliding over to a fast-paced zipline that ends with a crazy bungee jump into a serene lake.

Food for thought

Either You Will or You Won't

Early in my career, our head of sales, Pete, was quick to challenge the team when he heard a comment that felt non-committal. His advice was always straightforward: “Never say maybe. Never say might. Either you will or you won’t.”

The Power of a Provocative Question

A great question can pack a punch. In a recent meeting, I was asked a thought-provoking question that once again gave me pause: "If not now, when?" After some time reflecting, and a moment of resonance, I had my answer. The beauty of one straightforward question is profound.

I appreciate Chris’ ability to successfully address multiple roadblocks yet get to the root of issues very efficiently – it’s her secret sauce. She almost has a journalistic approach to strategic consulting and coaching because you’ll always find her asking incisive questions that encourage critical thinking and introspection.
Executive, Financial Services
Chris is visionary—she sees possibilities that others do not—and the many paths to realizing them. I have found her unique perspective to be inspiring and motivating; it has freed me from real and perceived limitations. Applying healthy doses of creativity and humor, she’s highly adept at identifying your inner gold…and is a huge asset to individuals and organizations seeking to evolve to the next best version of themselves.
Executive, Financial Services
I strongly recommend Onwards Consulting. Clarity was a top priority throughout the engagements we partnered on. Chris excelled in balancing accountability and compassion, consistently managing expectations, and building trust exceptionally well. She was highly adept at asking clarifying questions, always listening, validating, and moving us forward.
President, Professional Services Firm
Chris, you were the ‘push’ needed to get out of my comfort zone...thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the wingman I never knew I needed!
President & Business Owner
“I have known Chris for many years and have always admired her knowledge, expertise, and unique approach to bringing ideas to life. She is an audacious thinker and leader with exceptional competencies, bringing the type of energy recently that not only shifted our thinking on a strategic initiative but also deepened team engagement. I highly recommend.
