TRAIL BLAZING
Need a career coach or help with your job search? Contact Chris at chris@chris-burkhard.com.
As a coach and mentor, I support business owners, leaders, and founders through the highs and lows of leadership. I know firsthand the isolation that can come with running a business. The challenges I’ve faced are often the same ones my clients encounter. That’s why I believe in transparency—sharing real experiences, lessons learned, and practical advice to help you move forward with confidence.
Let’s work together to build a business and career you’re excited about.
As a coach, I lead Quarterly and Annual Sessions designed to bring structure, accountability, and clarity to your business planning. My mission is to develop strong leaders, build high-performing teams, and cultivate a culture that drives success.
- Your team is constantly playing catch-up on revenue goals.
- You’re falling short of profit targets.
- Your company culture isn’t where you want it to be.
- You need a trusted advisor to discuss business challenges and goals.
- You don’t feel connected to your company’s vision anymore.
If any of this resonates, let’s connect. Send me an email at chris@chris-burkhard.com.
When I was a young boy, my grandmother, Rose, gave me a red Land Rover Matchbox car. I told her, “One day, I’m going to own a real one.”
It took 44 years, but I finally got my red Defender.
Some goals take time, persistence, and the right strategy—just like building a successful business.
Over the past 20 years, Placers has grown into a thriving mid-market company. Scaling a business brings both opportunities and challenges, with each phase offering unique experiences.
