CHO
Chief Heart OfficerThe role of a Chief Heart Officer, or CHO, is a modern and successful position created to ignite healthy, long-term success in the workplace.
Leadership Transcended
Chief Heart Officer Coaching
A Chief Heart Officer ensures an organizational culture operates in an effective and productive way. The CHO does this by working directly with every teammate in every department to generate a tranquil flow of good communication through positivity and support.
When I serve as the Chief Heart Officer on your team, or help to coach your organization’s CHO, I help to sustain your culture by continuously bringing everyone back to those foundational strategies.
Through my customized coaching process, I am reminding your employees of your organization’s story and why your culture exists.
Often times, employees can become disengaged from their work. They may have lost their purpose. They may become burnt out. This is where I come in and coach. I remind people of the meaning and purpose of their work. I reconnect them to their own personal “why?” I remind them of their
contribution.
The role of the CHO is to ensure the execution of organizational initiatives and to create collaborative connections between your team members. The CHO is the guide that leads all team members to carry out your organization’s vision and mission. I believe in focusing on the people first, and the profits will follow.

Testimonial
“What is most authentic about Dionne is that not only does she push us to be curious, honest, and intentional in our daily work, she lives those things in our office environment too! “

Tessie Greedfield, Operations Coordinator Port X Logisitics
The Port X Journey with Dr. Dionne Kress
“I call this a journey of leadership, success, and gratification that has changed the lives of so many people. When many organizations think of a leadership coach or a leadership retreat, they think of 1 off meetings and ask what is the ROI.
When Port X was in its first year we saw great success, but also great chaos. We quickly realized that we needed to bring order to that chaos and support the leadership team personally and professionally. Over the next year we got everyone in their lanes and set an organization structure for success. The Port X business and leadership team continued to flourish. We realized that it was not just the leadership team who could benefit, but the entire organization. We rolled it out to support the people. Not just at work but helping them on their own personal journeys, some business and some personal.
Port X is now closing in on our 4th anniversary and we have more than doubled our revenue every year and will eclipse the $100 Million milestone in 2021. Quite an impressive task for a bunch of hard working, get after it, doers. No VC, no fancy degrees, just people on a mission to be the absolute best in their industry, while creating an aspirational brand, and changing lives.
Dionne has helped me and helped the team stay on track, stick to the plan, be accountable, and lead with the heart. It’s a story of massive success and we could not be more grateful for her help on this journey. I have asked many, from people in the industry, to financial experts, to accountants if they have ever seen anything transform and grow like Port X Logistics. The answer is always NO.
In my mind the keys to success have been keeping everything raw and real. Dionne makes us do that. Digging deep to help people accomplish amazing things over the long haul and maintaining everyone’s accountability. Everything we do is HARD. Its hard for a reason. To help people realize they can accomplish amazing things. For example our leadership retreats come with no guide, no fancy hotel, no boardroom. They are held in the mountains of Montana and designed to push people mentally and physically. You have to prepare for the 10 mile hike, prepare to sleep in the elements, carry all of your gear, and be prepared with our individual plans and stories to push Port X to new heights.
The Port X Logistics journey has been the most amazing thing I have accomplished in my life. We have stayed true to our declaration of independence, our business plan, and our success factors. With Dionne helping us to navigate the journey I can certainly say we have accomplished what we have set out to do. We have changed lives and laid the foundation for a very successful and sustainable company.
Thank you Dee for helping us accomplish our goals.”
