Many of Chris' clients have asked her to provide articles based on her programs. It dawned on us that if we posted then on the web, you'd be able to find and access them when you needed something for your newsletter, wanted something to read on one of Chris' topics, or as one of her clients said, "I just needed a dose of Chris' thinking."

We've challenged Chris to provide new articles periodically.  She'd love your feedback on any of the articles you've read and is particularly interested in suggestions for things you'd like her to write about. You can contact her at Chris@Change101.com.
