Testimonials

"Caro provided me with a cornerstone to believe that my attitudes and opinions can be moulded to suit my working needs as well as build a strong team of people around me. Whether they be clients, staff, or suppliers of services. Caro has taught me that my mindset need not be set in stone, and I need to rethink, realign and react to all aspects of business life, constantly. Caro has been a constant source of support to lead me through potentially sticky situations, as well as a sounding board to bounce all ideas off."

"The challenges I was facing, both professionally and personally were some I had not encountered before. You assisted me to ask questions of myself that lead me to deal with those challenges in a way that was a win for everyone involved. "The biggest lesson I learned from our work together was just how powerful I am from within, and that by making commitments to myself, rather than others all of the time, made me realise exactly what I am capable of. Caro your passion for what you do is clear and reflected in every communication we had. I hope my passion for what I do is just as obvious. Thank you for working with me! "

"I have been working with Caro for almost two years and during that time I have been able to clearly define my career goals and personal needs and have worked on determining how I can get their most effectively. I am also really pleased that my business unit has continued to improve...we have had the same Client Services team for almost one year, our turnover of business has reduced considerably, and we continue to win new business. As a result of coaching, I have become more confident and I know that a solution to a problem exists: I just need to look at different ways of finding it. It was really important for me to find someone who could understand my work environment, and the particular pressures of that, which Caro demonstrably does"

"With great delight and appreciation I wish to recommend Caro who has been my executive coach, and who has helped me grow and develop my personal and professional life in a most inspiring and effective way. Caro speaks to me in my language and relates to me in my communication style. She has a natural ability to motivate me to think of what I want to achieve and guide me through to realise my goals with my own action plan and commitment. Her respect to others is highly regarded. I can openly share with her the challenges I face and she affirms my strengths and potential to meet the challenges, and overcome any barriers that may block my way. I am amazed by her wide business knowledge and experience. She is always ready to utilise and relate them to my coaching needs and help me to upgrade professional skills in areas like marketing, communication, presentation, negotiation, leadership, and staff management."

"I expect my coaches to have both business experience and business acumen, of which Caro has demonstrated this time and time again. Her knowledge across several issues has impressed me, as well as her ability to extract the best from within myself. I would highly recommend Caro's services to anyone who wished to raise the bar either in their professional life, or their business. Caro is a consummate professional that I would have no hesitation about hiring not only as a coach, but as a member of any strategic team I was putting together."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Caro as my executive coach, to enhance my success as a senior executive in the funds management industry. Caro's style is to challenge existing paradigms by offering alternative solutions to issues faced by her client. She is results focused whilst ensuring that you achieve your goals in ways that are unique and congruent to the individual she is coaching. She does this in an environment that involves sharing your aspirations and frustrations and draws on her own years of experience as a senior executive in the corporate world. This I found particularly valuable, that she had herself faced and worked through similar corporate challenges. I believe Caro has a unique blend of empathy, assertiveness and corporate experience that make her a highly successful coach of business professionals. I would have every confidence in recommending her to individuals or organizations looking for a results focused, action driven executive coach."

"What a gift you have, and what a gift you are. Your coaching has helped me make some amazing leaps in my career, as I transition from consultant to film/TV producer. Working with you and your insights, I’m more in touch with what I want; am more powerful and focused, and certainly more successful. Having a smart, empathic partner and coach to soothe, inspire, and prod me has made all the difference in the world. You have a real gift for seeing into my heart and head (even though we’re separated by the Pacific!) It’s almost uncanny. I can’t thank you enough for all your support and guidance, and I look forward to great things from both of us!"

"I personally found my coaching with Caro has provided many benefits in my work. Whether it’s a thought provoking analysis of your use of language or a discussion about how you day has been, Caro provides a sounding board for you while challenging your position and preconceptions. The key benefit I have found is that I’m always looking for better ways of communicating with colleagues, thus ensuring that I’m able to pass on the information I need to give in a clear and effective manner. I think about the information colleagues need, the language I use and the level of detail I provide in any given situation. At the same time I’m much more aware of the need to ask colleagues to clarify anything they are saying that I don’t fully understand. I am sure that everyone will find that Caro encourages you to think about your whole approach to communication and life in general while also providing a whole range of ideas for you to try."

"I had the pleasure earlier this year of engaging Caro as my coach. At the time I felt I was under-achieving in business because of the negative perceptions I had of myself. Caro is magnificent!! Not only could she instantly understand and interpret what I was saying she was able to comfort me and help me to fully analyse each scenario. Caro provided a totally different perspective, which enabled me to look at everything in new light. I can see the change as I am far more contented with, and accepting of, myself. This has a flow on effect on my business, which is growing steadily. I do not hesitate to recommend Caro as a caring and insightful mentor and an advantage to every business."
