About &Co
As a coach, my focus is on helping you:
- Better understand your identity and let go of others’ expectations – “Who am I if I don’t have this job, this relationship, make this money, etc.?”
- Attain a deeper purpose, quality and integrity of life – “How can I attain more meaning, coming home to the self-realization, the true nature of who I truly am?”
- Actualize and achieve new personal/career heights – “What can I do to better strategize my life or career transition?”
- Work through the overwhelm with less stress and more ease – “Why do I feel so tired and burned out?”
- Rediscover the joy and gratitude in life – “I have everything I thought I ever wanted, so why do I still feel something is missing?”
Coaching is for individuals willing to invest in themselves. They may be lifelong learners who sense an urgency about their situation. They are coachable, respect the process and value the commitment required for change to occur.
I have the privilege of working with and championing those who aspire to explore new opportunities, retool their careers, establish their personal brand “identity,” make big strategic shifts in their world and in their development, and want to realize greater happiness and contentment. Often, they may be stuck in limiting beliefs or paralyzed by fear. I have a special interest in working with those dealing with others around addiction, are caretaking for the elderly, have attachment concerns or are open to examining the Enneagram.
They could be executives, physicians, newly assigned leaders, developing new skills, building confidence, overcoming obstacles, striving to optimize their performance and communication, or preparing for advancement. Others are looking to develop their potential as a part of a legacy or succession plan, exceeding their wildest expectations. I help them prepare for the future they want — dismiss the future they don’t want — and discern between the two.
The Methodology
I practice Integral Coaching® — a methodology named for its comprehensive approach to addressing the whole person.
It factors in everything about your world — both inner and outer — and may include thoughts, beliefs, emotions, intentions, spirituality, relationships and physiology. Building on a foundation of mutual trust, we awaken the “inner observer,” drawing from the wisdom of the head, heart and body to identify themes, create solutions and develop a uniquely designed path forward. Moving from reactive to responsive behavior, the resulting effect encompasses long-term excellence, the ability to self-correct, and the competence to be self-generating.
Working Together
Change doesn’t happen overnight, and new practices have to take root to support desired shifts.
Co-created by You
I provide one-on-one programs, co-created with you, to address specific objectives and a variety of needs. We are often able to make overlooked mental connections, helping you to more easily see how the pieces connect, allowing us to form a better plan. This collaboration starts with thoughtful inquiry and results in an individualized roadmap that can be used to strategically and intentionally help move you toward your goals.
My Offerings
I’m available for support, guidance and resources to coach groups or teams and lead workshops. The focus can range anywhere from leadership to career development and from stress management to team building
Our Flexibility
We meet via video, phone or in person — whatever way works best for you. Most with full lives and calendars prefer to meet online so they can easily fit sessions into their schedules and save precious time.
A Commitment
While you ultimately set the pace, I suggest meeting on a regular basis for a committed period to achieve optimal results. It’s called a practice as that’s what’s done over time to realize change.
The beauty of this process, however, is what actually happens between sessions.
Background
I am a certified and seasoned executive coach with a natural curiosity and passion for helping others realize insights and achieve their goals.
Chris Orzechowski
Prior to coaching, I was a senior marketing leader with more than 30 years of experience building brands for some of our nation’s largest organizations. During this time, I became very familiar with the politics and processes of non-profits and for-profits from the office to the boardroom. I’ve coached leaders, grown teams, directed departments, groomed and mentored staff, and counseled C-suite executives through pitfalls to performance.
I spearheaded the rebranding of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and I was on the team that launched the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation. I’ve worked in animal health as Chief Marketing Officer of Morris Animal Foundation and most recently as the Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Dumb Friends League, a leader in animal welfare.
I received a Master of Liberal Arts from Southern Methodist University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a minor in marketing from the University of North Texas.
I earned professional certification (PCC) as an Integral Coach® through the ICF-accredited ACTP at New Ventures West. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals.
A mind that is stretched by new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.

What to Do When Work Feels Meaningless
Crises interrupt the passive unfolding of our lives and make us more aware of what truly matters. So we’re most apt to gain life-changing insights during them.

After a While

After a while
you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security.
The Enneagram Journey
The enneagram is such a gift, and its a gift that was given to me, and I love re-gifting it.
