“Caroline is a very thoughtful and reflective coach who takes the time to really understand what you're trying to work through. I was finding I was caught up in my head and trying to sort things out and Caroline's approach to coaching allowed for an easy conversation that helped me focus and identify realistic and measurable next steps. I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
— Kirsten Frankish, Program Manager, Ontario Trillium Foundation

“We worked with Caroline to offer 2 days of intro coaching sessions as part of a support package for our employees as we are in the unique situation where we will all be finishing our roles in the coming 3-6 months following delivering a year of culture.
Caroline was wonderful to work with, making suggestions as to how this could work best for us as it was a new concept, and also created a pool of resources to go alongside the coaching offering that everyone could benefit from.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive as to the benefits of having uninterrupted & safe time & space to work through a range of topics. I would highly recommend Caroline & this offering to all organisations.”

“Coaching with Caroline has given me the space to work through those difficult leadership scenarios. Perspective is so important, but sometimes impossible to find amidst the daily onslaught of emails, Teams and opinionated others! Taking the time out with Caroline to work through challenges has given me the opportunity to explore a more genuine and impactful path.”
— Katie Elston, Head of Marketing, Royal Albert Hall

“Wow! I've never done anything quite like that before, it was quite shamanic. It really helped me to be able to articulate my goals, what I want, fears and the blocks stopping me. It was such a safe space to explore what I really wanted and how to achieve that.
I made furious notes and I'm working on how to put those into practice and understand what that will look like in terms of behaviour and changes.
A huge thank you, I really really needed that! ”

“…really helped me to challenge the beliefs I held about myself and my current situation and Caroline was brilliant at opening up my ways of thinking.
It was helpful asking me where I was in 5 years time and then trying to see what looked different each year leading up to that. Visualizing my dream perfect job was also something I had never tried to do before as it seems un feasible but it was actually very useful.”

“Caroline is a master of asking you the right questions. When we first talked about my business I was stuck with no sense of direction and too vague of an idea on what message am I trying to convey and who am I speaking to on my social media platforms.
Chatting to Caroline always gives me some clarity. It helps me refocus on what is important, but it happens in such an organic way, talking through things with Caroline asking questions that force me to dig deeper. She’s not afraid of confronting the ideas and shows a different way of approaching things which is invaluable to me - it allows me to get out of my own head and think outside of my usual patterns.
Caroline, I really appreciate every conversation we have and all your advice. Each time we meet I get new energy to go out there and conquer the world! :)”

“My neurodiversity has never been something I would talk about in a working environment, and this led to problems and gave me a lot of stress.
When I first started working with Caroline she made me feel relaxed and I could see how much knowledge she had of people with neurodiversity and other disabilities. I chose to share and talk about issues with her and felt safe doing so, we even had a few laughs along the way.
Never once did she make me feel uncomfortable or judge me, we talked openly, and she encouraged me to find ways to improve my working environment. Over the time we have worked together she has given me support and confidence which is now showing in the business which I have created.”

“Caroline has a clear skill for helping you work out what's right for you. I always call her when I need help to figure out my own thoughts.

“Caroline is a great facilitator; she really helped me to deep dive, unearth the clarity I didn’t even know I was looking for, and create my own route to progression. Caroline is friendly and has an easy manner, yet was also a total professional. I’d really recommend booking in with her.”
— Sarah Mayhew Craddock, Artist-Writer-Curator-Producer
