I am deeply honored to share that I have stepped into the role of CEO and new owner of The Responsibility Company Inc.™.
For 15 years, The Responsibility Process® has been foundational to my work as an executive coach and leader. It’s a profound privilege to now lead the company that Christopher Avery, Ph.D., built into a global force for unlocking human potential. I am immensely grateful for his vision and trust, and I look forward to his continued guidance as he transitions to an advisory role.
My mission is to build upon this incredible 30-year legacy.

HI! CHRISTOPHER AVERY HERE …
I’m the Founder of The Responsibility Company. When I was a management consultant, my driving question was: Why are so many smart people unhappy at work?
After consulting to companies like IBM, Whole Foods, PayPal, eBay, DTE Energy, AMD, Intel, Wells Fargo, and Motorola over more than 25 years, I realized that the most useful skills I was teaching were coping skills. My clients needed coping skills because they were stuck in a suffocating culture that systematically disempowered and controlled them. An insidious control cycle kept well-meaning, high-performing leaders and key contributors at all levels from being their best, taking risks, learning, and operating with freedom, power, and choice for everyone’s best interests.

My career changed forever when I began working with an emerging behavioral science framework taught by a guy named Bill McCarley, the father of the Responsibility Process. His powerful framework is the world’s first proven how-to approach for understanding, teaching, and taking personal responsibility. It helps us apply our innate leadership ability to face and overcome any challenge. Operating in freedom, power, and choice, we encourage and support those we lead to do likewise.
This is why we’ve made it our mission in life to awaken innate freedom, choice, and power in people everywhere by helping them see how personal responsibility works in the mind to keep one stuck or propel one forward.
To your freedom, power and choice …
