Chris Cathey
Since beginning his foray into the world of self development and personal change Chris has come across many interesting, thought-provoking and sometimes bizarre characters. At one end of the spectrum you have your snake oil salesmen and charlatans selling their tonic cures and magic bullets for any and every ailment under the sun.
On the other end you have your well intentioned and yet incredibly ignorant individuals who make their living claiming to work in fields that are about change but at the same time spend all their time trying to get clients to accept their current circumstances by stating things such as, “It’s not your fault it’s a chemical imbalance there’s nothing you can do”.
Thinking to himself that there must be a middle ground somewhere Chris began to and continues to seek the best and the brightest in the field of personal change work. His mission is to take all that he has learned and continues to learn and present it to a larger audience so that they make use of his years of sifting through the rubble that is the field of self improvement in order to look for what really works in creating quick, long lasting change and apply it to their lives in the most useful and meaningful ways possible.
