"WE ARE WHAT WE REPEATEDLY DO. EXCELLENCE IS THEREFORE
NOT AN ACT BUT A HABIT."
-ARISTOTLE

It’s extremely difficult to fully encompass or find the correct words to express gratitude to someone that has brought such excitement of new awareness, growth, and confidence into my life; but Chris Avery has done just that for me and more. If there’s ever a person in my life that deserves recognition for having the ability to help me awaken my true potential; it would be him.

Right from my very first meeting with Chris, he began challenging me. He started challenging me by allowing me to challenge myself through his thought provoking questions. Chris had first taught me mindfulness to see the way I spoke to myself, and then taught me tools to work through it.

Today, I truly do see mistakes as a stepping stone to growth. I see negative dialogue now as just a part of life sometimes, but not as something that controls me. I see it as a challenge to use my tools that Chris Avery taught me to succeed in even further growth. I won’t sit here and write “I don’t have fears anymore” when challenges or opportunities arise to me, because I do. BUT, they don’t stop me anymore and leave me stunted. I now know I am fully capable to work through them; and I AM STRONG! That little girl may come from time to time with doubt, but Thank you, Chris with all my heart for believing in me when I had such doubts in myself. The world seems bigger and brighter than before, and I know that’s because you have helped me feel bigger and brighter inside. I, Anna, believe in myself and that is brightness my friend, thank you.

Throughout my life and drug addiction i have experienced all sorts of trauma. When i first started meeting with my sober coach chris avery i was clueless on how to solve my recklessness i caused through my addiction and everyday problems baffled me. I felt as if i would never make it out of this huge mess that my life had became. Meeting with chris at first i had my guard up i wasn’t comfortable with talking about any of the trauma i had encountered. It took months before i would even talk about it but chris was patient and worked with me at the pace i needed. I never felt rushed or insecure with telling him my problems once i had started talking about them. He was very genuine and down to earth with his method of giving feedback and i never once felt judged. My favorite thing about chris and sober coaching is i never once felt pushed into doing anything i wanted to do. I believe a huge part of moving forward is having the option to do it at your pace and this has been mastered with him. When i wanted to grow and be challeneged he flipped it into high gear but when i just needed someone to vent to he would let me do that as well. Even when i left the house and started making some really quite terrible decisions he was there to help me get back on my own two feet. His program is amazing and i advise it to anyone struggling in life or anyone who wants to become and all around better person and need that extra push in life.

Chris Avery coaching is a brand that has a core value of integrity. Having worked with him for over a year now, I have found him to be insanely insightful and prodigiously practical. Coaches often coach you from their experience and often along the path that has led them to be successful in certain areas of their lives. Although Chris does that too; he is very adept at meeting you where you are at, helping you to clarify where it is you want to go, collaborating on a plan to get there and as efficiently as you are willing to grow - making the impossible mountain tops, possible. Chris is an expert at not just helping you identify your blindspots but leveraging your strengths into actions that blow your blindspots wide open and create really empowering self-awareness. It’s the empowering self-awareness that creates the capability to create a future worth fighting for and the adaptability to attain the life you design and create. He may not be the one for you, right now. He probably isn’t for most people. But if you know that right now you must not be like most people, that you have to be you and you must improve and create something different and way better in your life - then he is the one, right now, today, for you. The one to work with to move the impossible mountains in your life into possibility.

I've been with Chris for about 2 years working on my goals and habits. He's helped me dig deeper into the real reason why I do the things. He held me accountable to my goals so well that when I didn’t hit my goal, he was alongside me in my self-made consequence because he is my teammate. My life has shown improvements in how I think about myself and my business and I am grateful he has been by my side through each week.

I would highly recommend having Chris as a coach!

When I met Chris I was ready to take the next step and level up my life. Over the time of our coaching relationship he helped me create a strong foundation of building healthy habits. He helped me to define what I really wanted from my career. Each time we met he helped me stay accountable so I didn’t lose focus on the one true thing I wanted even though at times it wasn’t comfortable and was fearful. This led me to pursuing a passionate life in what I really wanted to do. I work for one of the best companies around and my life couldn’t be better!

Chris Avery is a phenomenal coach and mentor! His no nonsense, straightforward approach to assisting you in honing in on a specific goal in your life and actively pursuing it is both a crucial and vital life line in making permanent and lasting positive change. Chris has a knack for insightful encouragement. This steady yet progressive growth will get you the things you want out of life, but these passionate pursuits are not acquired without opposition. As you choose to adhere to the inspired advice and direction Chris gives, be prepared to face challenges of all sorts and learn to be flexible. You have to be willing to step out into the darkness and keep acting in faith until that light comes on and stays on. He will guide, give you opportunities, and provide the tools to keep that inner fire burning, but you must keep it burning through your own efforts. For me, Chris was there when hardly anyone else was there in whom I could confide in. Due to his strong connection to his faith in God and willingness to reach out to those in need, Chris has truly blessed my life and I am so glad that he continually blesses others; lives as he has mine.

I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to express the gratitude that I have for Chris. This journey I have begun from where I once was throughout my addiction and ailments has shown me where I am going in my life. He allowed me to see the brighter side. The wisdom he has freely given to me has allowed me to have the future I have desired for so long. I now have the freedom to choose for myself and not be confined in the dark negativity of endless thoughts bottled up in my mind taking up space.

Chris, you helped me start my new beginning two years ago. I did not believe in myself because I listened to people who did not believe in me. I had no trust in anyone whatsoever, and I started to place myself as being the victim. When you became my coach my environment went from tunnel vision seeing the only things wanted to see, to expanding my vision and seeing the whole picture. I can confidently say now that I believe in myself and in others. You showed me that in order to believe in others, I must believe in myself first. There was like a dominoes effect into trusting in others, because if I could not trust in myself, how could I trust in anyone else? Today I am employed by a multi-billion dollar company, I am living on my own and supporting myself. I have a steady relationship and can finally see myself settling down with a wonderful and beautiful young lady. I would not have made it this far so quickly without your guidance Chris.
