"Carrie is amazing! These sessions are more than career coaching sessions. This is career therapy! I enjoyed the holistic approach to coaching that made me look at my life and my work from a little different perspective. Carrie is compassionate and gentle yet firm when it comes to more pragmatic parts of job search (ex., salary negotiation). There was a right balance between reflection/big picture work and searching/applying/updating resume. It made the job search much more enjoyable! Lastly, I would love to add that the sessions gave me the right toolset that I can use in the future by myself. Carrie didn't write resumes for me; instead, she taught me the skill. I think this is important!"

“Working with Carrie has been extremely helpful in both navigating the steps needed to prepare myself for a career shift and boosting my confidence in regards to the skills I have under my belt and their applicability to a new role. Her guidance on an intimidating process was fantastic and I could not have done it without her.”
-Jeremy, Senior Manager
“Carrie is a tremendously thoughtful, supportive and encouraging coach. She fills each coaching session with relevant, thought-provoking questions, while always making room for my responses as well as my questions. When I first began meeting with Carrie, I was completely lost in terms of my next career move, and feeling both anxious and down about the lack of direction. Because of the work I’ve done with Carrie I have a clear sense of my values and where I want to go in my career, and in many respects I’ve traded the anxiety for optimism. Also, Carrie listened and helped me through my worst moments during the pandemic, demonstrating that she is so much more than a career coach. I’m grateful for what I’ve gained from our work together and would thoroughly recommend her.”

“Before I started working with Carrie, I wasn’t sure how much a life coach could help me. I had a few vague ideas about achieving a goal in my career and to become less of a procrastinator, but I had no idea that my entire life would transform. Over the past ten months working with Carrie, I have grown more fully into myself than I ever imagined was possible. I feel confident, empowered, and strong. It has been really hard work to get here, but I feel that I have learned some really powerful techniques to conquer my inner-saboteurs and to examine the things in my life that are meaningful to me. As a life coach, Carrie is supportive, challenging, and is so instinctive about what I need in order to move forward. I am so thankful that I decided to work with Carrie, for she has helped me grow into myself.”

“Carrie has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth since we started working together just a few months back. She’s extremely easy to work with, uplifting, and supportive in all my endeavors and even offers great ideas to lend of her own. I love the thoughtful homework she provides after each session to help me continue on my work between sessions. I have also compiled endless pages of written resources, creative phrases, work with my saboteurs and quotes that are timeless and will continue to help me for years to come! I am grateful for Carrie and all I’ve achieved and couldn’t have done any of it without her.”
-Amanda S.
“Carrie is a dedicated and focused coach. She doesn't focus on a single aspect but instead sees the big picture. She knows personal and professional are linked and that real change and forward momentum requires a fully fledged solution. She doesn't waste your time or hers with treating symptoms. She gets to the crux of the problem and moves outwards from there. Highly recommend working with her.”
-M&A Consultant, MBA
“Carrie has had a remarkable impact on my professional career this past year. She first went through a thorough assessment of my successes, interests, and challenges to build a solid foundation of personal and professional self-awareness. We explored the various dimensions of my professional universe; skills, areas of improvement, network, and financial needs to refocus my search. Carrie helped me articulate what I could bring to corporations and leverage my network in more innovative ways. Carrie is a driven coach who makes sure your personality's various components are rising to meet your future objectives. She gives personal and professional homework after each session, and these are often challenging your mind and comfort zone.
About three months after we started working together, I was hired as a consultant to do the type of job I described in my initial assessment. The consulting project became a full-time executive position a few months later.”

"Carrie has been a true blessing in my job search journey. She was always genuinely willing to help, and through this process, I’ve gained so much. With her support, I’ve built my confidence and now truly believe in my value in the job marketplace. Carrie was incredibly resourceful, providing me with many tools that made my search more effective. She helped me organize my job search and, most importantly, find clarity about my foundation—the 'why' behind this sometimes challenging process. She guided me in discovering my purpose, priorities, and strengths. Carrie also helped me realize that it’s not just about companies finding the right fit; it’s about me finding the right company that aligns with my values and passions. This was a game-changer, and I’m incredibly grateful for the growth I’ve experienced throughout this journey with her.”

"I'm so grateful to have had Carrie as a coach. I appreciate her holistic approach to coaching that's not just about career but about life. Carrie remains positive without being dismissive of what's hard. She holds you accountable but does so with gentle kindness. And she celebrates you with genuine authenticity. I've learned so much from working with her and know that she'll always be available as a resource when I need her."

"Working with Carrie was one of the best decisions I've made for both my personal and professional growth. I'm deeply grateful for everything she did during our time together. Every moment of every session was invaluable, offering new insights that helped me better understand myself. I also found the homework assignments incredibly helpful, as they provided clear direction and allowed us to define what my growth would look like. Carrie has an amazing ability to say and do exactly what’s needed to guide you, and it's a true gift. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning to work with her again in the future!”
-Lacey Dikkers
"Carrie has a clearly defined path to discover and define one’s core values, beliefs, challenges, and goals. She helped me to harness that foundation and guide me into bringing my personal and professional life into focus. Carrie’s approach is multifaceted and inspiring. Her style is warm and authentic. She is professional and organized. Her insight and resources are keen and relevant. I felt seen, heard, valued, and motivated throughout all our time working together. She is there for the struggles and the success and knows how to keep you moving forward. Carrie knows when to be flexible and when to be unwavering. The result for me is continued vibrant growth in both my personal and professional life - the two often propelling each other. This synergy is possible because Carrie guides one into identifying, harmonizing, and harnessing, both hidden and apparent, what drives our success along with what sabotages our efforts. The inner work is put into action with real and continuous improvement as Carrie works with you to apply and refine the practical details. This transformative experience has been empowering with significant, tangible results within a relatively short time. It has lasting effects because Carrie encouraged me to form my vision and motivation from my deepest, most authentic self. I highly recommend Carrie as a life and career coach!”
