Chris Cox

I am a partner, executive coach, and learning designer with Tailwind Consulting, LLC. I currently coach executives and managers on their critical thinking and articulation of strategy. I have also designed thinking-based leadership development programs for Fortune 100 companies.

In my previous careers, I worked with at-risk youth in field and classroom settings. I've led climbing and back country expeditions with teens, as well as extended sailing trips and cycling trips throughout New England.

I also taught Advanced Placement and high school English for ten years in Burlington, Vermont. Our school was unique in that we served displaced persons from all over the world, including Bosnia, Vietnam, Somalia, Sudan, Romania, Azerbaijan and Tibet.

The value I bring to businesses is my passion and insight into critical thinking processes. I help people articulate their intent, define and focus their workstreams, and structure collaborations in which unique people try to do critical thinking, together.

On the personal side, I'm a fanatical windsurfer and mountain biker. I also SCUBA dive, compete in triathlons, swim long distances in open water, and play tragically mediocre tennis as often as possible.
