Hello, I’m Carola!
Over the last 15+ years, I’ve personally walked a path of learning to navigate leading teams, and training and coaching people in leadership skills across a large number of organizations, from Fortune 50 to small businesses.​​
With a background in Organizational Psychology and Neuroscience, I use science-based approaches and interventions to support my clients in achieving their goals, paired with a deep understanding of leadership challenges and best practices.
My mission is to empower you wherever you are on your path and help you navigate the challenges of leadership.
​
I begin by understanding your objectives, strengths, values, and areas for growth. From there, we develop a personalized roadmap and set measurable goals. Throughout the coaching journey, I provide guidance, resources, and tools to help you overcome obstacles and stay motivated.
My promise to you is that I will meet you with genuine care and curiosity, and with a fierce dedication to help you reach your goal. My coaching approach is rooted in collaboration, empathy, humor, and trust to drive change and transformation. I will be candid with my clients if I see an opportunity for growth. I might ask some hard questions, always coming from a place of care and in service of your goal. If you are looking for blanket advice or someone telling you what to do, I am not your coach. Instead, I will support you with new perspectives, and partner with you in finding your own path that feels true to you. If you are looking for a coaching relationship that is free of judgment, focused on your goals, and on propelling you forward in the direction you choose, I would be honored to work with you.
