Chris Coursey

For nearly 30 years, THRIVEtoday president Chris Coursey has been using the Life Model to work with families, communities and individuals with severe trauma. Learning brain science, creating brain-based exercises and working with Dr. Jim Wilder has brought clarity to effectively serve and equip people who are on a journey of growth and recovery. 

Chris is passionate about giving support to counselors and teaching people how relational skills can be applied to the important work of walking with people so they reach their God-given potential. Whether you are a licensed counselor, coach, pastor, or lay minister, there are exciting implications for how we can more effectively use relational brain skills to help people heal, mature and grow.

A co-creator of Thrive Premier Training alongside Jen Coursey and Dr Jim Wilder, he is a current trainer at Premier Training events, runs live online Practice Classes, Online Courses and is available for speaking engagements throughout the year on podcasts or in person. 

A published author with more than 10 books in print, he enjoys spending time with Jen and their two sons, Matthew and Andrew.
