There is something gratifying about the human condition and being reminded that people can change and be more and be bigger. It’s easy to forget this. Through coaching, we realize we don’t have to be who we’ve been.”

Randy Chittum likes to say he is at his best “when playing in traffic.” Comfortable with complexity, Randy gets fired up about working with senior leaders on challenges that are strategic, visionary, and systemic. In his work with clients, Randy draws upon his nearly 10 years of experience reporting to the CEO of a large company. He has developed a deep well of compassion for the challenges leaders face as they make change in their organizations.

Randy has always been a wanderer and his philosophy is to follow the learning. He is genuinely curious and encourages his clients to hold things lightly and not take themselves so seriously.  Randy has spent years practicing and integrating mindfulness into his work as he sees mindfulness as the antidote for complexity. He is driven by the instinct that you can make the world better by working in service of people.
