Chip Wilson, founder and CEO of 360 Solutions, LLC, is a visionary who has an overwhelming passion for helping others develop their entrepreneurial spirit. With extensive knowledge of the training and development industry, Chip regularly has the opportunity to share his skills and successes with others.

After college, Chip began his business career under the umbrella of a Fortune 500 company. Unfortunately for them, Chip wanted the challenge of an entrepreneurial lifestyle.

Murali believes that coaching is all about the coached and a little about the coach. The coach needs to act like a navigator which helps guide a leader to reach their destination. Coaching is not a prescriptive process; it is about enabling the coached to explore alternatives and possibilities. It is about helping to ask the right questions and then think through to the right answers. Coaching is about allowing the coached to gaze into the future while keeping an uncompromising eye on the short term goals.
