I’m Chris.

Chris Poczka

For a long time, I was successful on paper.

School, university, career, the move from the UK to Singapore, the house, the car, the right job at the right company. From the outside, it looked like everything was in order. And it was, if you measured by someone else’s ruler.

Inside, something kept pulling at me. A quiet unease I couldn’t name, that wouldn’t go away no matter how many boxes I ticked. For years I thought that was just what being an adult felt like — the cost of doing things properly.

It wasn’t.

What shifted things for me wasn’t a crisis. It was a question. A friend, in the middle of an ordinary conversation, asked me something I couldn’t unhear. A question that made every reasonable explanation I had for my life fall quiet all at once.

I realised I’d been living to a blueprint I hadn’t chosen. And I could put it down.

The change didn’t happen in one moment. It happened in hundreds of small ones: yoga that taught me to actually feel what was going on in my body, meditation that gave me space between thought and reaction, travel that showed me there were other ways to live, and conversations with people who refused to let me hide behind a polished version of myself.

Coaching became the through-line. Learning how to ask the right questions. Learning to stay in discomfort long enough for the real answer to surface. That’s the craft I now bring to my clients.

FEAR INTO FAITH.

The gap between where you are and where you want to be is crossed by moving from fear into faith. Not wishful thinking. Not sticker-quote faith. The kind that comes from getting honest with yourself, taking the next right step, and trusting what opens up.

I coach mindset and performance, one-to-one. Deeply personal, genuinely confidential. I don’t hand you a framework and send you home. I sit with you long enough to understand the real situation, not the polite version, and together we find the answers that are actually yours.

My conviction, after my own journey and thousands of hours coaching others, is this: coaching is creating resourcefulness. It’s getting you to a place where you have access to what you need, even if right now it feels like you’ve got nothing.

I’ve been to “nothing.” I know the way out.

A few convictions, earned the slow way:

  • Most people don't need more information. They need a conversation that respects how capable they already are.
  • Clarity isn't a gift someone gives you. It's what's left when you stop avoiding the question.
  • You can't lead anyone further than you've led yourself.
  • Happiness is not a luxury. It's a responsibility — especially if you are someone others look to.

I currently serve as a senior leader within the Tony Robbins organisation, where I’ve spent thousands of hours inside rooms where real change happens — one-to-one, in small groups, and at scale.

I’m working toward formal coaching credentials. My training has been hands-on: the people I’ve sat with, the shifts I’ve watched them make, and the curriculum of my own life.

I’m based in Singapore and work with clients globally over Zoom.

Singapore has been home for years now. I travel when I can, read widely, ride my motorbike when the road calls, and keep a steady practice of yoga and meditation — not because it’s fashionable, but because it’s what keeps me useful to the people I work with. Most of what I’m most proud of sits outside of work.
