i help creative directors become great leaders, unlock the potential of their teams and avoid toxic work culture through leadership coaching so they can thrive and make work a place of passion not exhaustion.

most creative directors don’t receive leadership training and are often misunderstood. they often work in a silo, carrying the load alone, and under constant time pressure, which leads to rushed and reactive work. This is a serious problem.

they’re often left in charge of other creative people with big goals but lack the skills to lead a vision others will follow. It’s not enough to have a vision—you need people to share the load and feel empowered. leading a team that works together is different from leading one that trusts each other.

i’m chris cruz, the coach here at rally. With nearly 16 years of leadership experience in churches, nonprofits, and businesses, I understand the challenges you face because I faced them as a creative director and managing director. i've led multiple departments, rebuilt teams, and designed brands and developed leaders. i want to help you. 

you don’t have to face the pressure of leadership alone. my coaching will help you stay a visionary while leading your team effectively, unlocking their potential and empowering your creativity. you’ll become both a creative and business advocate, fostering a team that collaborates, takes risks with confidence, and feels connected to something bigger than just a job.
