About Carla Miller Training

We’re a women-led training and coaching company that helps you create workplaces where women can thrive. Founded and led by Carla Miller, we now have a small team of associate facilitators and coaches who embody our values and bring their own experiences and insights to our training.

Our story…

Unlike most training companies, we started by running open courses.  After a decade coaching women leaders 1:1 Carla noticed themes to the challenges that they were facing and the mindset issues those challenges created.  She saw the potential in bringing women together to share experiences and Influence & Impact was piloted in late 2019. 

Since then over 400 women have been through Influence & Impact.  We’re proud of the fact that many of those women self-funded their training, choosing to invest their own money because this was exactly what they needed. 

As we’ve grown our offers we’ve kept our focus on creating training that meets women where they are and gives them a sense of agency and self-belief. We think it’s a unique and highly effective approach. 

Today we still offer open courses and also partner with global companies like AtkinsRealis and Moloco, government agencies, universities such as King’s College London and many national charities to deliver in-house training and coaching.

Whilst we focus on gender equality we can deliver all of our training programmes in gender neutral versions for our clients.

We think we’re the perfect size – big enough to manage multiple cohorts and work with global companies and small enough to be very human, warm and flexible in our approach.

What’s most important to us?

Great relationships with our clients

Making a hugely positive impact

Leaving people feeling better for spending time with us

Our approach to training…

We create engaging, uplifting and highly practical learning experiences that directly tackle the challenges that our participants face.

  1. We invest a lot of time listening to the pain points that women (and other leaders) experience in their daily working lives
  2. We create training that directly addresses those issues, making it powerful, practical and easy to apply
  3. We create learning spaces that feel safe, encouraging and energising where women uplift and support each other

4. We increase understanding of gender bias, enabling women to recognise that they don’t need fixing and encouraging them to lead their way

5. We do this in an upbeat, positive way with warmth and humour
