“I get so much out of coaching calls with Carol. She uses her wealth of knowledge, experiences and exemplary skills of a coach to draw out ideas, realisations and ‘lightbulb’ moments, which give clarity, motivation and the desire to act upon lessons learnt. In a recent coaching call with Carol, She triggered the desire to restart a book I had been writing and to consistently commit every day so as to actually finish it. She does this through mutually respectful conversation, really listening to my thoughts and ideas and utilising expert and interesting questioning to pinpoint exactly what is needed. She is so talented and I always look forward to where our coaching calls take me. I love having Carol as part of my life and story.”
“When identifying a single phrase to describe my experience with Carol, my mind inevitably concludes that she is “a messenger sent from God.” I started my coaching journey with Carol as an NQT in 2008. My goal was to become a senior leader dedicated to transforming lives and improving life chances. Her advice was tailored towards my personal aspirations and provided me with the resources and strategies for success. Working with Carol has increased my confidence in my own ability and has meant that I was able to secure a senior leader position within 4 years of starting my teaching career. Carol is so gifted at understanding her client’s purpose and helping you to find solutions that will move your career and personal life forward. I leave every conversation feeling empowered and energized, knowing that Carol believes in me and that I have the tools to make good decisions about my career. All of this, in addition to her kindness and friendship, makes recommending Carol to others so important to me and I could not do so more highly.”
“From the first hello on the phone, Carol was warm and approachable yet quick to dig deep to the heart of where I am on my career and life journey. This enabled the conversation to build quickly whilst flowing naturally. Carol asks insightful questions which allowed me to reflect on my thoughts, actions and behaviours. Her background in Education also allowed her to refer to her own experience without leading me in a specific direction. By the end of our first 30 minute session, together we had identified next steps and actions which were realistic yet challenging.”
“Talking with Carol has encouraged me to set up my own coaching business. Her inspirational words have helped me to recognise that I do have the necessary skills and attributes. Despite all the obstacles I have faced, she constantly makes me feel that ‘YES, I CAN’ do this!”
“‘Have you had dreams in the back of your mind that you just haven’t seemed to fulfil? Are you a creative, who has lots of great ideas but unclear how to execute them? Or do you feel any frustrations with work situations? I had been in this position for a while. I knew what I wanted to achieve but wasn’t 100% clear about how to get there. I was ready to make a change and am so glad that I contacted Carol. I work hard and so was willing to put aside the money to invest in myself…I believe that if you want to truly fulfil your potential, you need a plan in place so that you are clear about what you want for yourself and what you expect from others…Carol is positive, knowledgeable and a good listener. It’s a new year and I’m ready! If you can identify with any of my experience – what are you waiting for? I encourage you to take the first step to a clear plan for achieving your goals. Contact Carol today – you won’t regret it, I didn’t!’”
“Carol was friendly, professional and put me at ease immediately. Within two half hour sessions, she was able to help me clarify my goals, helped to me to set achievable targets and gave me the confidence to take positive steps towards my career aspirations. Thank you so much.”
“My sessions with Carol have really helped me map out my leadership path. I have more clarity in how to be an effective and successful leader. I often struggled with clarity and communication in meetings, not having and setting clear boundaries with my team. However having the coaching sessions with Carol have really helped me overcome these issues. I find that I am growing stronger each day as a leader and becoming more successful as I have been given the tools and understanding on how to approach situations and remain calm, firm and consistent in my approach. Thank you Carol, for creating a non-judgemental and calm space for me to be free and get to solutions that will help me in my leadership.”
“Carol is a blessing, she is incredibly encouraging and approachable. She has helped shape where I am and who I am today. She is a fantastic coach and I am thankful to have met her.”
