Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of introducing Chris Hornberger, for the first time, as a Fellow Certified Management Consultant. She is a shining example of what it means to be an FCMC. Chris cares deeply about her work and helps other to be better every day. For Chris, management consulting is not about chargeability, its about change. She is thought provoking and asks tough questions which, although sometimes annoying, always make you think.
Chris is the kind of person who takes up causes and moves them forward. Her clients reflect the kind of person she is. Chris cares about her community and the world we live in. She wants to make the world a better place – a more just place. Here are some of the words which Chris’ clients used to describe her in the nomination process: Professional: Dedicated; Thought provoking; Visionary; Respectful; Disciplined; Trusted; Genuine; Caring; Engaged; Client focused; Coach, mentor, and friend.
Some people think of being acknowledged as a Fellow to be pinnacle, something that move you towards the end of your career. I think, for Chris, its a beginning. Watch out world, Chris Hornberger is on a mission. For she’s a jolly good Fellow!
