Who is Chris Power?
Born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada, my early years were tough.
A low income family and a turned in foot led to physical, mental and emotional bullying, resulting in anxiety and low self-esteem.
Despite the challenges, I had a loving family that gave me hope for the future.
I graduated High School and headed off to University where a lack of funding "encouraged" me to join the Canadian Armed Forces to finish my education.
This is when I faced my greatest challenge, finding my way back to myself. Over the next 3 years I:
-
saw my psychologist a lot;
-
escaped to my own retreat on a horse ranch;
-
travelled to Mount Everest Basecamp and summitted Lobuche East at 20,000ft;
-
facilitated a veteran retreat in Philippines;
-
shared my story for a number of different organizations; and
-
read more books than I'd ever read before; and
-
put time and energy into reviving my relationships.
The biggest 'aha' moment was realizing that without my job and military title, I didn't have any self confidence. I didn't even know who I was.
I'd been so focused on producing results at work that I sacrificed all other areas of my life. In the end, it wasn't worth it.
With this realization, I completed an 8 month training program to become an ICF Certified Professional Coach and Associate Certified Coach.
I now use my experience, training and education to help people build their own confidence and reach higher performance in all areas of their life.
"I help people get out of their own way and strive for success in all areas of their life."
