About Us
Professional executive coaches are increasingly being used by organizations with astounding success. Research suggests that more than 40% of all staff turnover is the result of employee disengagement and stress.
At Touchstone Career Coaching, we believe that appropriate professional development and helping individuals find and achieve their passion is the key to reducing this figure and creating success for both staff and organizations.

Others may be out of work and seeking guidance to find a career that matches their values and skill set. Chuck provides support and clarity to these situations, helping clients identify for themselves where their true passion lies and how to attain their professional goals.Chuck brings more than 15 years of expertise as a Professional Development specialist and coach. He uses these skills to help others find their passion and define action plans for reaching their career aspirations. Chuck has an unfaltering belief that people should seek out what they do best and are most enthusiastic about. Doing so ignites possibilities in the individual and within organizations that were previously unrealized. Chuck's clients see immediate results not just in the type of work that they do, but far more importantly in the level of energy they bring to everything in their lives.
