In my 20-year investment career, I have never had a better coach than Chris. He helped me and my team identify our roles and responsibilities, stay focused on our goals, and be accountable to one another (and to him!). As a result, we’re having a career year, both in terms of gathering assets and in generating revenues. Chris has become an integral part of our team and our success.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with, being coached, guided, motivated, prodded, poked and challenged by Chris for the past three years. Referring to Chris as a “coach” is a misnomer. He has become a trusted business and personal advisor – an individual who I frequently turn to for guidance in a multitude of areas in which I have sought to enhance my effectiveness. His commitment to me has been unwavering throughout our time together and he has evidenced superior coaching skills along numerous dimensions, creatively finding ways to help me elevate my game. Moreover, and perhaps most importantly, the results have been spectacular.
I have had numerous coaches during my career and participated extensively in personal development programs and Chris has risen to the very top. I have referred him to colleagues who feel similarly about Chris and I recommend him unconditionally.

Not until I began to work with Chris Margolin did I fully understand what a professional coaching relationship should look like. Chris is a true pro, with a deep understanding of our business and an ability to lead advisors where they want to go.

Christopher Margolin is extremely adept at accessing information that individuals know innately and unleashing it into their conscious thought where they can use it effectively. He then helps shape what we are already doing – or should be doing – into a clearly defined action plan that provides a definable, repeatable, effective and scalable process.

Chris has coached me through multiple complex negotiations with potential strategic partners. Chris’s approach has allowed me to see these situations not as an “either/or” or zero-sum but rather the work I did with Chris gave me the clarity and confidence to pursue multiple arrangements which are all paying off today.

I just wanted to express our gratitude to you. As you know we are a father/son team for over 20 years. Like any team, tensions can run high, but with father/son it adds another dimension. We have been with you for about 6 months and already our relationship is better, business is happening easier and we are making more money thanks to the process. I look forward to continued success in the future.

In working with Chris, my team was able to take a step back and look at our business away from the day-to-day hassles. He helped us resolve internal communication challenges, and found a way to make us accountable. Chris does not allow the standard: ‘we will do better.’ Instead, he challenges us to do things that can be measured.
