the Consultant
Meet Chris
My name is Chris Gray and I am the owner/principal consultant. I have a PhD in Management with a focus in Human Resources (HR) Leadership and 11+ years of consulting experience in the federal government. I have two energetic boys, Miles (10) and Aiden (8), and one patient wife, Alisha. I am also a proud Veteran of the US Marine Corps who served two deployments to Iraq.
My dream is to help organizations succeed and work to create environments where employees feel heard and appreciated. We no longer live in a culture of employee-for-life. This produces an opportunity for employers to looks for ways to increase employee engagement and satisfaction while at work.
We all want to love what we do.
I'm hoping to help employers and employees reach this goal together.
