- Professional Recommendations
Chris is a fantastic professional who brings all of the skills and expertise in talent management, HR, and education. It was indeed a pleasure working with Chris not only as a colleague but for a brief time he was my supervisor and mentor as well. Under his guidance, I gained a variety of skills that help me in numerous aspects of my HR career. He always made me feel welcome and ask for my opinions and matters on various issues. I knew if I needed advice I could always go to Chris. He is an outstanding worker and I can not think of a better individual to join a team/company.
Marketing Director @ SumnerOne | Strategic Communications | Content Creation | Digital Marketing
Chris is a detailed-oriented individual who regularly strives to achieve excellence and professionalism in all he does. During our time together at Noria, I had the pleasure of working with Chris on various education and training projects, and I always found him to be a dedicated, top-notch team player that I could count on to see all the projects through from start to completion. I knew that if I ever had a question on training best practices, team-building or needed insight into our education department and/or training structures, I could rely on his subject-matter expertise for an answer, which was always given in an efficient and timely fashion. Chris is an exceptional, talented individual who would be an invaluable asset to any organization.
Creative Director at Noria Corporation
Chris is a dedicated, hardworking and multi-talented guy. It was my pleasure to work with him for over 5 years on a variety of projects, and he's always been a joy to work with. He brings a wealth of wisdom and knowledge to the table and always seems to have valuable insights to contribute. While he's great at managing others and the department he lead launched many successful initiatives while he was at Noria, I have the most admiration for Chris as a team player. He knows when to delegate, but he also has no problem dedicating himself to learning necessary new skills or sitting down beside his team and helping with the day-to-day work when it's needed. I watched him do both of these things with regularity. His character and integrity are unquestionable and he'd be an indispensable asset to whatever team he joins!
Vice President of Services at Noria Corporation
Chris leads with a personal touch. Not only have I witnessed his development of high-impact, high-retention training initiatives; I have seen him lead people that both reported directly to him or worked alongside him. He is a true professional that loves developing people. Chris's passion for education, coaching, and development are his greatest strengths and would be of great benefit for any organization. On a personal level, Chris began mentoring my personal development over five years ago. Some of our discussions were about challenges at work but many were personal issues I was facing. With his help I was able to navigate an incredibly turbulent time in my life. I fully recommend Chris and know he would be a great asset anywhere he decides to work.

It is with enthusiasm that I recommend Chris Christenson. While working with Mr. Christenson over the last year, his performance proved that he would be a valuable addition to any company. He is conscientious, focused, energetic, intelligent, and communicates excellently with people of all levels: executive management, vendors, clients, and colleagues. If your organization is currently recruiting new talent, Chris would be valuable asset to your team!
While it was an absolute pleasure to work alongside Chris on Noria’s leadership team for 7 years, the best part was collaborating with him on the Noria Academy app. Chris was instrumental as the product owner of that app. With his strong project planning and management skills and analytical thinking, Chris was able to break down company initiatives into smaller prioritized features for the app, enabling our software team to focus on the right development activities at the right time. Chris is a highly organized and detail oriented leader, mentor, and all around great person to be around. There is no doubt in my mind that Chris is a valuable asset to any organization.
This is one great man who excelled at many things. He saw a vision and was the change agent to making it happen. He was always great at leveraging his resources and working to the strengths of a each person on a team. I always enjoyed being in the room with him as his positive and focused energy kept everyone thinking together and reaching their goals.

I had the Pleasure of working with Chris during my tenure at the University of Phoenix. Chris was "THE" best coach and mentor that I worked with over this past year. His training and development skills are highly regarded. Mr. Christenson's leadership and coaching were instrumental in my development as a Director and in the performance of our Campus.
Corporate Training / Development Professional
Chris is one of those rare people who actually leads by example, and it makes him a great leader in any situation. As a facilitator he always works hard to coach or teach material in an innovative, engaging way, and then he expects the same from those who report to him. His own drive for excellence makes those around him, and those who report to him, strive for excellence on their own. As a manager, he is always willing to listen and provide objective feedback and help in any situation. His cool head and ability to think objectively, even in situations he is involved in, make him an incredible partner for problem solving, which I know as one of his employees I have taken great advantage of. I truly believe there is no task to which Chris could not rise to the challenge and find a way to achieve excellence.
Chris has a way to take a concept and relate it to individuals across all working groups. Chris relates to the person in dealing with difficult situations and always has an upbeat and positive approach. Chris is a people person and has a natural tendency to relate.

I have had the opportunity to work on a team with Chris over the past year as a peer regional learning manager. Chris has always presented himself professionally which is demonstrated in both his communication (written and verbal), and facilitation skills. Chris has always treated me and other team members very respectfully. He knows how to encourage collaborative discussion in each interaction and meeting to gain a richer and clearer perspective of those he works with. Chris has proved himself to be organized and efficient, is quick to respond to requests and is willing to help with additional responsibilities and tasks as demonstrated by his “Sr.” Learning Manager title. I look forward to working with Chris in the future and would consider him as asset to any organization he chooses to work with.
Director of Academic Affairs at University of Phoenix
Chris has consistently remained an eager resource and voice of reason since I first met him when coming to the University of Phoenix in 2008. At the time, we were both Campus College Chairs, and managing dozens of associate faculty. Since then, we have both promoted within the same region and remained in close contact. Chris inspires his colleagues and provides a perspective in many respects to the different roles and responsibilities of our employees. In both roles that I have seen Chris fill, he has looked for the best in the people around him, and taken every opportunity to encourage them to look inside, find their better self, then strive to make the world a better place. I look forward to the many years ahead, that I can count Chris as a true friend and authentic colleague.
Chris is an amazing asset to our organization. He is thoughtful, provides expert analysis and is not hesitant to give honest, candid feedback to those he is working to develop. He has a tremendous ability to identify issues that are development opportunities, and has the experience and expertise to recommend the right course of action for making essential changes and improvements. He is encouraging, fair and insightful. I recommend his work without hesitation.
