I've benefited from coaching personally for standardized testing, interviewing, mental game improvement, MBA applications, and professional development. I've studied in 7 universities and changed my major as many times, with several career pivots across 9 countries (e.g., corporate finance, asset management, nonprofit advisory, public sector, strategy consulting, international development). I'm a strong believer in paying it forward and helping others through shared knowledge, insight, and experience as we all seek to navigate opportunities!

With a robust blend of experience and certifications, I bring a dynamic approach to coaching for personal and professional growth. As a certified executive coach with the International Coach Federation and a speech coach with a degree in Speech Communications, I specialize in enhancing communication skills, emotional intelligence, and executive presence. My certification in the EQi2.0 emotional intelligence assessment underscores my ability to guide clients in building resilience, stress management, and self-awareness. I also leverage proven frameworks from thought leaders to support mindfulness, work-life balance, and time management, tailoring strategies to each client’s unique needs. My career spans over 27 years, including leadership development roles in Fortune 500 companies and academic institutions, where I’ve facilitated transformational coaching engagements and workshops. From goal setting and navigating complexity to fostering personal growth and mindfulness, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve clarity and unlock their potential. Together, we’ll create actionable strategies to help you thrive in every facet of your journey.

I've worn many different hats as a management consultant, international development leader, and social entrepreneur -- but perhaps the hat that I most identify with is "coach". This has always been true. Growing up, I was the informal "playground monitor" at my elementary school in California - the kid that other kids at recess came to when they needed an empathetic ear or help problem-solving. In high school, I led eight sophomores on an eleven day backpacking trip through Henry Coe State Park and coached youth girls' lacrosse. And, while working at Bain, I mentored first year consultants, helping them navigate the transition to the workplace with confidence. I find that there is nothing as rewarding as being a part of someone's journey of self-discovery. While at Stanford Business School and Harvard Kennedy School I've received formal coaching skills development, spending ~70 hours in coaching practicums and countless more hours engaging with clients on Leland. I know that every client comes to coaching with a unique motivation - a problem they're working through at work, a relationship that they're feeling stuck in, or a question that leads to self-inquiry. I tailor sessions to the needs of the client - these sessions are to help you feel like the best possible version of yourself!

Life is full of transitions - big and small. Some we choose, and some choose us. A new job. Moving to a different city or country. Becoming a parent. Ending a relationship. Starting a business. Taking on a leadership role with new pressures. Picking up a hobby that lights you up again. Every transition carries both opportunity and uncertainty - and while it’s easy to see these moments as challenges to "get through", they are actually invitations to grow, to realign, and to step into a new version of ourselves. I know this not just from working in high-pressure environments like consulting, but from navigating my own personal and professional transitions — and seeing how powerful these moments can be when approached with the right mindset. I moved to the U.S. without a job offer, stepping into uncertainty to build a life more aligned with my aspirations. I shifted from focusing solely on business success and advancing my career to becoming a certified coach and meditation teacher-in-training - a path that brought far greater meaning, balance, and purpose into my life, and that now enhances everything I do in business as well. Today, I coach professionals and entrepreneurs to embrace life transitions as opportunities for transformation, not just hurdles to survive. We work together to build clarity, resilience, and self-awareness - turning periods of change into launchpads for a more authentic, fulfilling life. Through a combination of strategic coaching, mindfulness practices, and deep personal inquiry, I help you not only move through transitions, but thrive within them — growing stronger, more intentional, and more connected to who you really are at every step. 🚀 How I Can Help You Through Life Transitions: ✔ Help you navigate major life changes with clarity and confidence – whether it’s a career shift, relocation, leadership transition, new parenthood, or the end of a relationship. ✔ Turn periods of uncertainty into powerful opportunities for personal growth and reinvention. ✔ Reconnect you with your core values, strengths, and vision — so you’re not just reacting to change, but actively shaping what comes next. ✔ Build emotional resilience, mindfulness, and self-awareness — the essential skills for navigating life’s inevitable ups and downs with strength and presence. ✔ Create a balanced approach to ambition and well-being — where success doesn’t come at the cost of your happiness or health. ✔ Offer a grounded, judgment-free space where you can reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with purpose. ✔ Support you in designing a life that feels not just successful from the outside, but deeply fulfilling from within.

I help leaders, founders, and high-impact individuals reconnect with themselves and lead lives that feel aligned, spacious, and meaningful. My coaching goes beyond productivity or goals—it’s about becoming more fully you in every area of your life. Through deep listening, powerful questions, and reflective partnership, I support clients in transforming limiting beliefs into new possibilities, aligning action with values, and finding clarity in the noise. This is coaching for those ready to lead not just organizations—but their own lives with authenticity and intention.

Welcome to my profile! I'm Chris Hatfield, a Director of Product at LinkedIn with a passion for coaching and helping others reach their goals. While much of my time has been spent building products, a large portion of the last 7 years has been spent figuring out how to have a fulfilling life (with 3 young kids!) while still succeeding in my career. I approach coaching with a coaching mentality, empowering individuals to understand their unique contributions and how they connect with others to accomplish something beyond themselves. If you're looking for guidance and support in defining and achieving better work life balance, I'm here to help. Let's connect and start your journey to success together! See articles here (https://1chrishatfield.medium.com/how-to-start-or-restart-your-work-life-balance-journey-911d62177956) and here (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/harder-part-work-life-balance-chris-hatfield/) to get a sense of how I approach the journey.

From a young age, I’ve found fulfillment in helping others grow. Whether through tutoring, babysitting, or informal mentorship, I’ve spent years supporting students in lower, middle, and high school as they’ve navigated school, friendships, confidence, and self-discovery. That work evolved into more formal mentorship for college students and young professionals—helping them make sense of their next steps, whether in school, life, or career. Personally, I’m one of four kids who grew up learning how to communicate, compromise, and support others from an early age. I’ve lived through significant life challenges—family financial hardship, my parents’ divorce, and the ups and downs of bootstrapping a company from the ground up. Through it all, I’ve learned the importance of mindset, resilience, and trusting the process. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, building confidence, or looking for clarity on your next move, I’d be honored to support you.

I have helped a wide range of individuals—not just professionals, but anyone feeling emotionally drained, chronically overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Whether it’s work stress, life pressure, or just the weight of too much for too long, the core tools of burnout recovery are the same: nervous system regulation, boundary setting, energy awareness, and aligned action. With over 15 years in corporate HR and leadership development, I’ve supported high-achieving professionals—but I’ve also coached parents, caregivers, and individuals in major life transitions. My approach is grounded, practical, and personalized—because burnout doesn’t discriminate, and recovery should be available to everyone.
