Chrisa Zindros: The Power of Executive Coaching

Chrisa Zindros is the Chief Strategy Officer and Senior Executive Coach at the Handel Group®. Through an in-depth process, she helps her clients mitigate bad habits and re-balance their priorities. Throughout her career, Chrisa has worked on building brands and creating business driving initiatives that have positively impacted sales, profit, and employee retention for large and small companies.  Now, as Chief Strategy Officer for Handel Group, Chrisa works closely with leaders from  all divisions to ensure that HG is optimally growing and scaling as a company. Her roster of clients include an international group of serial entrepreneurs, perennial corporate executives, and established individual contributors that hail from  a broad range of sectors including Finance, Entertainment, Fashion, Technology, Nonprofit and Government.   This Episode’s Heavy-hitter’s: - “The same things that were holding me up at work were holding me up in my personal life” Chrisa reflects on her realization from when she first started working with a coach, which was part of the precipice for her getting into coaching herself. - When you’re looking for a strong coach that will really help you grow, seek out those who have done what you’re looking to do before. - If you’re looking to get in shape, find that person who stays on top of their personal health and knows the ins-and-outs of fitness themselves. - “If you constantly need me, I have failed.” Chrisa uses overall development as one of her main metrics for judging how her clients are doing under her coaching. - It’s not about whether you need a coach from time to time, but instead about gradually needing one less and less over time as you grow. - “What we teach in coaching is that you have an inner dialogue” says Chrisa, and by recognizing and boiling this inner dialogue down to your motivations, you can wield more control over your overall actions and therefore your success and progress. - “Do you know why everyone wants my book of business, or why I’m so successful? Because I play golf.” It might sound privileged, but this is the best advice Chrisa says she’s ever gotten from one of her superiors earlier in her career because it taught her about fostering meaningful relationships with clients, where he truly began to deeply care about them.
