Chris Sprague used to be an entertainer, then took a detour behind a desk in the IT industry for many years before becoming a successful coach and a founding partner with John Maxwell’s coaching program. He’s gone through difficult times in his life, but used a method called the “Zero Point” to lift himself up, and shares that strategy and more with Coach Nation!
BECOMING A COACH
After being laid off twice in just a few years, Chris knew that things had to change. In 2011, he got started with John Maxwell as a founding partner for his coaching program!
BIGGEST OBSTACLE
Taking his coaching business in the wrong direction in the beginning (he tried to appeal to everyone with a very broad focus).
GETTING NEW COACHING CLIENTS
Chris gets his new clients from appearing on numerous podcasts as a guest, and from his content creation.
