Building Confidence – Executive Coaching for Women…

I have had the pleasure of working with Carla via group coaching and 1-1 and I can confidently recommend her. She is hands-down one of the best coaches I have worked with and brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, clarity, and warmth to her work. She creates space for calm, honest and productive conversations and after each one I left with very clear actionable steps to unblock a challenge I had. Working with Carla felt like a partnership and she was a joy to work with. I learned a lot from her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Working with Carla has been a truly wonderful experience. Her 1-1 coaching was invaluable, particularly during some really turbulent times in my role. Carla brings an excellent toolkit of practical strategies that I could implement immediately which made a significant difference, not just to my approach at work but also to my mental health in general. Her advice was always insightful, tailored to my needs, and delivered with such positivity and warmth that it was a joy to collaborate with her. I can’t recommend Carla highly enough for anyone seeking a leadership coach who truly makes a positive impact.

Carla has supported me in my role as People Director within a fast growth start up.  This has helped me to navigate some challenging discussions with the Founders, to rebuild my confidence after a career setback and to understand the value I bring to the organisation as a trusted advisor.  Carla is supportive, reassuring, insightful and challenged my thinking in a really kind way.

Carla is an excellent coach, having the sessions really helped me to feel more confident in my new role and ready to take on new challenges. I had my last session today and it was so lovely to look back and reflect on how far I’ve come in the last 6 months with Carla’s support. I would definitely recommend and I’m already looking into booking more sessions!

I wanted to work with a coach because I felt as if I needed to develop my confidence as a leader. Being new to a leadership role, I was well outside of my comfort zone when it came to having difficult conversations with colleagues as a manager and was apprehensive about being seen to be either too autocratic, or “lazy” when delegating.

Carla provided me with the tools to reframe a lot of the way I’d been thinking, and also to recognise that a lot of what I was already doing was more than OK.

As a woman, I wanted to work with a woman as I know women face particular challenges in leadership roles, and Carla helped me see that I didn’t have to react to everything immediately, that I could take time to strategise, and that I could be a better leader if I didn’t feel I had to be involved on every level all the time.

Carla is very warm and engaging – she put me at ease immediately and was able to provide honest, constructive feedback without ever being in the least bit judgmental. She’s full of insight and wisdom as well as being very funny – and I’d have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

As a first time CEO I needed some support to help me make the transition and to navigate the change in my role and how I coped with it. I needed someone to bounce around ideas to help me clarify the issues I was facing and ensure I prioritised effectively and maintained my focus and vision.

I knew Carla would understand the issues I was faced with and how I might approach them – her own achievements in her career means she understands what I’m going through! I knew coaching would help from the first session which explored my personality, what makes me tick and what I wanted to achieve. I felt she understood me very quickly and that I could be totally honest with her (and she wouldn’t judge me!).

I now have real clarity about my goals, what I want to achieve and how I’m going to tackle the thornier issues my organisation has. I feel much better and more confident now that I have that clarity, and additionally Carla is very good at giving me positive feedback on how I’m progressing against the goals I set myself – it’s like a shot in the arm that I need to give me an energy boost!

Carla’s coaching was immensely helpful to me and guided me through some tricky situations at work. Carla has some wonderful tools and techniques that have really helped develop me as a leader and given me confidence to move forward. I’d thoroughly recommend Carla as a leadership coach.

Carla provided leadership coaching for me over an 8 month period. Carla’s advice, guidance and coaching during this period has been extremely useful in helping navigate difficult situations, find new approaches and manage change more effectively. I loved Carla’s ‘inner driven’ and bespoke approach to coaching which focused on me as an individual and the different challenges I faced. From the coaching I feel more confident, have a different perspective and feel like I have really developed a lot in such a short time. The online modules she offers are a great resource to be able to pick and choose modules based on the areas of development you need when you need it.

Carla has an excellent coaching style, great insights, and an amazing toolbox of useful exercises and techniques to help shift perspective and gain clarity. This is all backed up by very solid experience and knowledge. I thoroughly enjoy working with her, get invaluable content from each session, and I highly recommend her.
