Andrew Chastain

Jack serves as one of my most trusted advisers. I was introduced to Jack as my executive coach during a planned CEO transition. He was hired by our board to counsel me as the internal candidate; however, Jack’s counsel went far beyond helping me prepare to serve as CEO. He challenged me to focus on the real goal of being a great authentic leader. Over the course of two years, I learned a great deal about myself, how to approach work and leadership and organizational planning in a longer term manner. Jack organized my development but more importantly, his intuitive nature led us on a journey more powerful than a planned exercise. Jack is a great confidential sounding board and leverages his own experiences and competencies to assist an executive’s development. After my formal selection as CEO, Jack and I used The First 90 Days framework to guide my on-boarding. He continues to be a significant professional and personal resource.
