I am not sure if I every thanked you for your good work 5 ½ months ago with our senior leadership team.  I am happy to report that almost six months later, the team is working more functionally than it ever has.  Yes, we face challenges that all teams face, with some personality difficulties here and there, but I think our work with you was a turning point for many of us.

Thanks, Chris.  Again, much appreciation for your work with our team.

I recently completed my follow up to SI with Chris Hunter.  I just want to tell you very emphatically how helpful I found the follow up sessions with him for these reasons:

• It made me highly accountable to apply what I learned.
• I was able to turn around a mildly frustrating development situation and move closer to getting the results I wanted.
• After applying these skills in a real world situation, I can now fully see and understand the value of this approach and will apply my newfound skills consistently because I know they get results.

In addition to being an outstanding mediator in the classroom, Chris was also an extremely helpful advisor after the training in helping me accurately diagnose my performance challenge and then helping me devise an approach appropriate for the situation.  He’s also made him open to hearing back from me on how things are going.  I can’t tell you how valuable I found his advice and counsel.  Thank you for offering such a rewarding course.

Chris is keenly aware of the customer context whether it be what is going on in the business or budget constraints when working with me/DeVry to craft tailored solutions.  With his/their deep expertise, I can count on Chris & CLHunter Consulting, Inc. to  jointly develop practical, flexible and high impact solutions to meet the needs of individuals, teams and organizations. He has developed programs (Talent Review Process, Strategic Talent Management, Rotational Programs), created and implemented team effectiveness solutions and provided executive coaching to senior leaders. Chris is a trusted partner who produces high quality work. He is an extension of the DeVry Talent Development team.

‘I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris Hunter on a couple of occasions. He has served as a personal Executive Coach to me and been an invaluable mentor helping me increase my overall leadership self-awareness; identifying and  building on strengths and devising strategies to address my weaknesses.  He also worked with my Leadership team to improve our trust, communication and overall level of engagement. Chris is a terrific facilitator, expert at giving productive, helpful feedback and extremely diligent in terms of setting/staying on task and timelines. For example, he honed in on two areas of opportunity for my team: providing honest constructive to peers and goal/objective alignment – Chris then helped lead us thru discussions and exercises that enabled the team to make significant improvements.

I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to improve his/her own personal leadership capabilities or overall team effectiveness/engagement’

Another contribution Chris brought to this project was his direct and candid feedback to me and my team. Often times, Chris coached me to thinking differently about the direction we were heading and on the observation he was making during the process.   This advice proved very valuable to me.

Chris designed the company’s leadership strategy and through his collaboration and influential leadership style, he gained active support of the CEO and the Executive team.  His approach was cost effective and increased employee engagement in the business resulting in a 98% retention rate of our high potentials.

Chris was an instrumental partner as part of integrating two significant businesses within Motorola Latin America and facilitating the assimilation of a newly formed leadership team. I was impressed with Chris’ ability to quickly grasp the needs of the business and his intuitive and intellectual understanding of the skills and behavioral challenges. I initially asked Chris to lead us through the process of interpreting and accelerating the communications effectiveness of our leadership team. He was so well respected and built such credibility within the team that we asked for his further support in designing a structured approach to our initial strategy sessions in Mexico and Brazil. In addition, Chris became a trusted and reputable talent management consultant in the U.S. and the region where he provided exceptional 360 feedback interpretation and individual development planning guidance to key leaders in the organization.
