Carola brought clarity and reflection

"I have been very fortunate to work with Carola as my career coach over the last four months. Carola has created a safe and private environment in which I have been free to explore work and related personal issues, bringing insight into the interplay of work and my core value system. She has really challenged me and allowed me to take a good look at what I want and how to achieve it. She has a very natural style, is 100 per cent professional and is highly experienced. Her coaching has been not only thoughtful but very practical, providing me with tools to manage the way I think which I have been able to apply straight away to challenges at work.  She has supported and encouraged me through her highly accurate listening and feedback skills. I found the sessions exciting, creative and highly thought-provoking. I highly recommend coaching with Carola and am very grateful for the clarity and reflection she has brought. Thank you, Carola!"

Carola was an enormous help and a valuable resource

“Carola was an enormous help and a valuable resource for me when I reviewed my career and where to go next. She helped identify not only my strengths and weaknesses but also what's most important for me in a job. Best of all, she didn't let my inner saboteur get the better of me but encouraged me to face even the most difficult decision!” — BW

Life coaching with Carola has been life-changing

“For me, life coaching with Carola has been life-changing! It has been an amazing journey and I have learned a lot about myself along the way. I now understand me! Life coaching has empowered me to take control of my life and its direction. I know what I want and how to get there. Every aspect of my life has been positively impacted and I feel more confident than ever before in the decisions I make and the approach I take to different situations. I am living life to the full and loving every minute and I can't thank Carola enough for helping me reach this very happy place.” — FIONA W.

Carola’s coaching techniques have been invaluable

“Carola created a nice thought-provoking atmosphere and asked questions that really made me think about what I want while incorporating what I have been afraid of, what I want to accomplish and why. I keep going back to what we covered as the exercises summarised what we discussed in a nice easy to follow structure – and more thought-provoking reflection when looking back at what we have so far covered.  It definitely made me want to continue on this new journey!” — Nora M.

A YEAR LATER:

“Working with you over the last year and a bit has done wonders in getting me to focus on what I really want in life and giving me the tools to get me there. What Carola has shown me is that there are many tools and thought processes to get me to where I want to go and by using these, I have already achieved so much and know I can basically achieve whatever I want. I found life coaching to be such a positive way to move forward in my life and thought Carola’s coaching techniques have been invaluable to this process. I can’t thank you enough!”

Positive and empowering

“I found Carola’s style of coaching very clear, calm and positive. Given the intensity of my working life and how busy I am in general, it was extremely useful to take the opportunity to reflect rationally and logically on the items I’m working on and to get the sense of building an uncluttered and clear plan together. Carola’s approach certainly helped underpin that as we progressed through the various questions in a fluid, orderly way. I found the pace we worked at perfect in that we didn't dwell unnecessarily on any items and there was no repetition. Instead, I felt we were taking exactly the right amount of time to consider each item before moving on to the next. I am most looking forward to continuing to break down what can often feel like a 'mass' of issues, goals, activity, experiences when you are personally very involved in them, into a much more manageable series of objectives. Stepping away from my own situation, with someone calm, collected and focused, was positive and empowering.”

Resolved a difficult situation at work

“Carola, what I love about your coaching is your boundless enthusiasm and desire to do the very best for your client.  You were prepared to challenge me, whilst being curious, insightful and compassionate.  As a result of your coaching, I've resolved a particularly difficult situation at work - you have a wonderful future ahead of you.  Thank you for your support, energy and friendship.”
