While many talk about change, there's a scarcity of true examples. I aim to be one of those examples and I invite you to join me on this journey.
With over 30 years of experience working with a diverse range of individuals—from Fortune 50 executives to college students navigating their futures—I've come to realize that no one has all the answers. There are countless ways to approach life, but finding the ones that resonate with you is key.
I'm dedicated to challenging both myself and others to scrutinize the scripts we've been given and to craft a life that is uniquely ours.
I'm passionate about engaging with change-makers—those who are actively being and doing differently, living as examples and showing us the possibilities.
Through my podcast and coaching practice, I focus on the importance of being intentional in both having fun and making a difference.

“I didn't really know what to expect at first working with an executive coach. Chuck Allen came highly recommended, and the sessions with Chuck have helped me in so many ways that I regret not seeking out a professional like Chuck Allen sooner. His systematic approach allowed me to see the changes I needed to make in my business and within myself. I really enjoy the fact that he doesn't beat around the bush but can get his point across without being offensive. Throughout the years, he has become a great mentor and a great friend. Chuck also helped me design my life so that the small and simple moments, that we oftentimes take for granted, are enhanced and enjoyable. I highly recommend reaching to Chuck and start your executive coaching sessions with him.”

In an unexpected twist of fate, I met Chuck Allen during a vacation, an encounter that profoundly changed my perspective on life. I was particularly inspired by his intentional approach to life, seeking to elevate everyday experiences from 'average' to 'gourmet'.
As a former Olympic athlete and successful entrepreneur, I've been privileged to work with several excellent coaches. Yet, the conventional 'success' approach of goal-focused tunnel vision failed to fulfill my desire for enjoying the present. That's where Chuck's philosophy resonated with me.
Becoming Chuck's coaching client was a decision that's transformed my life. His insightful guidance has helped clarify my personal priorities and provided me with actionable steps to realize them. More importantly, Chuck has taught me to truly savor the gift of 'today'. I look forward to continuing this exciting journey with him and wholeheartedly recommend his coaching services to anyone seeking to live life more intentionally.
