TorquePath Reviews

”Chris and TorquePath helped me through some of the roughest times I've had thus far in my career. With expert guidance from someone who's been in marketing for years, I've worked with Chris to help quiet my inner critic, position myself for success, and learn how to tackle professional tasks in a way that doesn't drain me. I highly recommend working with Chris if you're at a point in your career where you feel stuck, you're ready for your next step, or you're simply wanting to try out a coaching service!

”There are so many things I appreciate about my experience with Chris. The quantitative outcome is that he helped me identify and kickstart a business strategy, which was my primary objective. From a qualitative perspective, I appreciate that Chris's responses are knowledgeable, carefully considered, clearly expressed, and provoking in the best way. He distills my verbal explorations into focused, actionable, memorable insights. In our sessions, Chris monitors me for my energy, what I mention versus what I neglect to mention, and whether what I'm exploring is related to what I said my goals were. He also brings a wealth of relatable personal experience that feels confirming, but Chris never leads with that. Instead, he is very client centric, guiding in a productive way. I highly recommend TorquePath, and I will use his coaching and consulting again when needed.

”Chris was instrumental in helping me through a lot of changes in my career: an acquisition, career change, temporary job function change, and lots of questions I had about myself professionally. This was my first experience with a career coach and I have to say it was extremely helpful and positive. I like to be questioned and forced to see things from different perspectives and Chris has a very thoughtful and gentle approach when doing exactly that. He checked up on progress between sessions and made sure I was on the right track. I absolutely recommend him.

”I recently completed a coaching program with TorquePath, and it was an eye-opening experience. From the very first session, I felt that my coach truly understood my goals and challenges. The coaching process was personalized, giving me the tools, tricks and tips that I needed to grow in my current role.

A significant benefit was learning to improve my communication with executive leadership and build confidence. The coach, drawing on his executive experience, offered valuable advice on communication skills, style, distilling key information, and strategic thinking for this audience.

I left each session feeling empowered and equipped with actionable insights. My coach not only helped me grow in my current role but also prepared me for the next step in my career as I contemplate which direction I want to go in.

I highly recommend the TorquePath coaching program to anyone looking to level up their leadership skills, whether you're in a management position or aspiring to lead in the future or make a career change.

”I came to Chris as a 15+ year marketing leader looking to strengthen my footing before taking the leap to the next level in seniority. From our very first session, I appreciated his balance of candor and support: he listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions, and gives honest feedback that challenges me to reflect on my business challenges and long-term goals.

Each session begins with a clear objective that we revisit at the end, ensuring our conversations are focused and productive. He’s skilled at helping me reframe situations to maintain professionalism, navigate challenges with perspective, and, importantly, be kinder to myself.

While my larger goals are still in progress, I’ve already seen meaningful changes in how I operate: greater clarity in my career direction, a sharper awareness of how I present myself, and a more constructive internal dialogue.

I would recommend Chris to any professional navigating a transition or preparing for a new chapter in their leadership journey.

”This was my first time working with a leadership coach, and I had no idea what to expect, or how to even engage.

Chris patiently explained the process and expected outcomes to me and clearly laid out what I could expect of the engagement. His method of asking insightful questions to help me process my own thoughts into action has been really helpful.

I am a verbal processor, so I talk A LOT, LOL, and Chris has been able to help me distill, summarize and prioritize next steps and desired outcomes. That has been really rewarding.

I would certainly recommend TorquePath for leaders looking to upgrade or, if they aren't a leader now, but want to be one in the future. In either case, Chris can help clients focus and prioritize, to improve their chances at success and to make them better leaders.

Thank you to Chris for your guidance during our time together!

”Chris is an excellent career coach! He is well spoken, gives honest feedback, has great experience to supplement what he teaches. I was looking for a coach that could provide feedback or direction on my professional development, current job search strategy, and advise realistic career goals. Chris was incredibly helpful with in all of these areas. If you're looking for an experienced coach that's reliable, responsive, and excited to help you grow... Look no further.

”Working with Chris has been incredibly effective for my current career move. After a successful exit, I was back on the job market, not looking forward to interviewing again… but I have to! So I hired Chris. He kindly helped me get clear on what I value in my life and how my career fits in with those values. From there, he helped me overhaul and sharpen my resume, come up with valuable interview questions, and more. I highly recommend him. Chris’s experience as a hiring manager and professor on this exact subject will help set you up for success.

”Chris leads with empathy and understanding, and truly *listens* to others in order to best set them up for success. I have always found our engagements both insightful and supportive. If you were to work with him you'll find that he's mastered the art of being both nurturing and challenging, a tough balance to achieve, especially as a coach.

”Working with Chris Kolling over the few months has been an incredibly valuable experience. Rather than simply handing me the answers, Chris guided me toward finding them myself—helping me build not only confidence but also a deeper understanding of my own strengths, goals, and values. He helped me navigate challenging dynamics at work with practical tools and mindset shifts, and empowered me to advocate for myself and my time in a way that felt professional and authentic. Through our sessions, I’ve gained clarity not just about my career, but about how it connects to my broader life goals. Thanks to Chris, I feel more grounded, more intentional, and better equipped to grow as a leader in any environment.
