"Key aspects I most valued from my coaching program were receiving practical guidance with previously difficult issues, doing post-mortems on actual incidents, and highlighting and then strengthening weaknesses.

The program enabled me to better deal with difficult conversations and be more influential with others.

Carolyn’s regular sessions helped enforce discipline and reinforce learnings. The coaching helps leaders better deal with all aspects of their lives and so improves their state of mind."

"Carolyn is able to work with individuals and make a difference in their behaviour and performance.

I learnt a different language to improve the effectiveness of getting the message across.

Productivity and staff retention were positively impacted."

Late in 1998, she made the decision to specialise in one-on-one coaching, and two years later added Team Coaching to the mix of services she offers. Now, apart from facilitating an occasional group meeting, she works exclusively with executives, leaders and teams who seek to increase their performance to match their potential.
