ACCREDITATIONS

Leading in today's ever evolving landscape is challenging

You’re not alone if you are ...
  • Transitioning into an expanded role
  • Unsure how to navigate increasing complexities
  • Constantly feeling overwhelmed
  • Want to make a bigger impact
  • Being stretched beyond current capabilities
  • Tired of the relentless striving

Many leaders feel this at some point

That’s why having a thought partner can be valuable

Let’s talk if you want to lead with greater ease and impact

Hi, I'm Carol!

ICF PCC Certified Executive Coach

As a former Global Vice President with Fortune 500 companies, I understand the demands of leadership firsthand. It can be overwhelming, with increasing complexity and countless demands competing for your attention at work and at home.

I know what it’s like to face those pressures and have no one to turn to for support. That’s why I do what I do now. As an Executive Coach, I provide the support and guidance that I wish I had during my corporate journey.

Drawing from 23 years of global corporate experience and training in Adult Development Theory and Neuroscience, I help senior leaders develop the inner clarity and leadership maturity to lead with ease amid complexity.

I invite you to cultivate deeper self-awareness and uncover invisible drivers like mindset, self-talk, and blind spots, so that you can stretch beyond your default behaviours to lead with greater flexibility and impact.

Thriving isn't about doing more, it's about leading with clarity, conviction and congruence.

Testimonials

I have made more progress in the months working with Carol than I had in years

"It only took one session for me to realize that I would benefit from Carol’s expertise. Carol was instrumental in helping me identify traits that hold me back. I have made more progress in the months working with Carol than I had in years. She is amazing at looking at a situation and probing to help me figure out why I did or thought something. We have worked through work situations as well as personal, her knowledge and coaching skills are exemplary. I would highly recommend engaging her if you are even thinking of working with a coach." — Andrea Klemes

She’s helped me distill what I want from my career and guided me through challenging decisions, conversations, and work situations

"Carol has been a phenomenal aid to me through a pivotal career transition. She’s helped me distill what I want from my career and guided me through challenging decisions, conversations, and work situations. Working with Carol has kept me focused on how I can leverage the opportunities around me, specifically how I can develop the skills I need to turn my career aspirations into reality. I’ve also got a better handle on my strengths and blind spots, and she’s given me very tactical / tangible advice on how to manage those as my role changed from consulting to industry." — Preeya Sud

Carol is a mirror for the inner me that I either missed or ignored

"Carol is a mirror for the inner me that I either missed or ignored. She had guided me through my first year in a new organisation. She is strategic and empathic. What has been super helpful was her ability to give me practical advice that fits for my context, this is probably due to her prior professional experiences and diversity of exposures of the current client tale. I highly recommend her for someone who is going to professional and personal changes." — Brenda Chung Whyte

The more we were connecting, the more I was understanding who I was, what were my drivers, my triggers, my biases…. A real game changer.

"The 1st few sessions were really helpful and Carol’s coaching was really constructive and soon enough I had achieved the goals I had in mind. We continued our sessions and this is where for me it really was very valuable. It was like a peeling an onion. The more we were connecting, the more I was understanding who I was, what were my drivers, my triggers, my biases…. A real game changer. Our conversation turned into career discussion, self-awareness and basically becoming a better version of myself. I strongly believe that anyone can benefit from coaching at any time in their professional and or personal paths. Coaching is constructive, forward looking and exciting and Carol is a great partner on this journey!" — Caroline Kearney

She probes and challenges with just the right amount of directness and sensitivity

"Working with Carol has been incredibly rewarding. She probes and challenges with just the right amount of directness and sensitivity, she re-directs the conversation to keep it focused on an insightful learning to take forward and she closes each session with clear actions to take. I find myself reflecting on discussion points we had days after we speak, often bringing up various points in conversations with others or re-evaluating priorities. I would not hesitate to recommend Carol. In fact, I already have to a number of friends and colleagues that I deeply respect and believe would benefit from Carol’s insightful guidance." — Sarah Hampstead

I learnt how to better focus on not allowing self-doubts to have control of my actions.

"I had chosen Carol as my coach, due to her impressive background from both business and leadership perspectives, and my experience so far has been fantastic!

I deeply value the time that we have spent together working on my leadership skills, in particular Carol’s openness and ability to explore a breadth of topics, and all the progress that I made in such short time.
I feel more confident about my leadership style and strengths, worked on some tools to further develop my strategic thinking, and I learnt how to better focus on not allowing self-doubts to have control of my actions." — Ermanna Maiuri
