“Coaching sessions with Carole are a mental work out – challenging and a massively fulfilling experience in equal measure. The course of 12 sessions had a truly profound impact on my career path and personal life, in ways I would never have predicted. What sets Carole apart is her engaging style, a way of questioning that guides you to reach your own conclusions and an infectiously positive approach. Each session brings clarity and leaves you with an energy for change. I particularly appreciated Carole’s flexibility in scheduling sessions to suit my personal situation – this, in turn, enabled the outcome of the engagement to be substantially more valuable. “

Catherine Dannaoui – Executive Director at HandsOn Hong Kong  

“Carole helped me to see what communication styles and approaches I gravitate towards — and those which I tend to avoid! This allowed me to really unpack these tendencies and probe where I needed to stretch myself beyond my comfort zone. She also knew exactly when to let me reach my own conclusions and when to gently offer up her own perspectives — which were always spot on. I cannot recommend her more highly and I’ll always be grateful for her guidance at a pivotal time for me!”

Yvonne Yum – Human Resources leader, Hong Kong

“When Carole coaches she is with you 200%! She created a safe space for me to share and be really honest with myself. She listened, observed and helped me understand underlying issues. I learned useful techniques, but also that communicating well is a lot about what is going on mentally and physically.
I’ve become more self-aware, I’m better at organising my thoughts about what I want to say and feel more confident going into meetings knowing I’m on the right track and can speak confidently.” 

Ying – ESG Lead – Greater China 

” I think this is by far one of the best investments I have ever made. Carole guides me to think about the situations in a new perspective, find out the root cause, and help me find the solutions by myself. Carole gave me the support, guidance, tools and feedback, which is exactly what I need from a coach. I was in one of the toughest situations in my professional life, and without Carole’s help, I could not have managed it well and grow both professionally and personally from that experience.“

My Chris B – Hong Kong 

“My sessions with Carole were excellent. I have always been an excellent performer in some aspects of my job, yet when I was required to step outside of my comfort zone I didn’t perform well. I couldn’t seem to find an approach to change that was consistent with my personality, i.e., I did not want to try to become someone I’m not.
I recognized the need for change, but I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed to talk to someone! If I hadn’t worked with a coach, there would have been a lot of false starts and even more frustration.
The real benefit was that I did a lot of my own research but had someone to discuss it with and adapt it in a way that I would be comfortable working with.”

Jo Hayes – CEO Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong

“Working with Carole has had an extremely positive impact across multiple aspects of my professional journey and honing my leadership skills. To stay agile during the crisis, I have had to make swift and sometimes difficult decisions and thanks to Carole’s coaching, I have been better equipped to lead the team through an extraordinarily challenging time.“

Martial Jaume – Head of Sustainability – French International School 

“The 6 sessions I did with Carole were eye opening. They helped me to strengthen my listening skills and maintain better relationships with others. It wasn’t that I learned brand new ideas, but that I was able to clarify my thinking and come up with plans to try that felt exciting for me. If you are not sure if a coaching session will be beneficial for you, I recommend you contact Carole and give it a try“

Brian Grainger, Live More Life Coaching – Australia

“I loved working with Carole! She created a safe space for me to reveal a hidden unhelpful habit. I had been attaching great weight and meaning to every little decision in my life and this was holding me back in my personal life and in my business. After working with Carole, I’ve changed perspective and have been releasing the perfectionism and the need to “get it right” ahead of time. I’m now testing, taking risks allowing myself to move (even fail) forward. Thank you Carole, for helping me get clear on my goals, for really listening deeply and for your insightful observations. I’m becoming the next version of me.”

Mel – Hong Kong

“Carole helped me see different options for communicating, I learned to notice assumptions, take a pause and let things go that are not that important.   The most valuable thing in the coaching for me was to learn to think and reflect about my options.   This has all helped me move forward with my current situation”   

Business Results Training Coach – DuPont Greater China 

“Carole provided explicit guidance to well prepare me for the Certified Coach assessment for RCC (Results Certified Coach). Carole demonstrated how to behave as an encouraging caochee during the assessment session on Dec. 10, 2013. Carole coached me with practicable skills during post assessment session and provided me with a guide for further improvement. Carole, thanks for your brain based insightful coaching!“

NA – Associate Director Business Development & Strategic Sales Management – Luxury Goods – HK

“Getting outside and walking during the coaching with Carole brought a feeling of freedom. It opened up my mind made it easier to speak and somehow it felt more personal than just sitting in an office. The relaxed environment also helped me come to some great insights.”

Andreas Johannesson, Managing Director, Ikea Components , Shenzen, China

“Carole helped me gain many new insights about myself and which in turn helped me to increase my self -awareness and understanding of my own needs, which will be helpful for me for the rest of my life. She really helped me to understand myself and I am now much clearer about what I need to do and how to do it to live a life that I am happy with. I am now taking charge of my own life and deciding my own future.”

Frederic L – Hong Kong

“During my coaching with Carole, I experienced powerful insights and breakthroughs as well as learned and embedded new behavioural techniques that I now use on a daily basis. Carole introduced me to specific models to enhance my communication skills. These helped me to put aside unhelpful thoughts, consider my own way of being and how I want to be perceived in presentation or important meeting. My sessions with Carole were challenging and rewarding and I recommend Carole as a coach.”

Group Lead – Chingluh Vietnam

“Carole has been a good coach during coaching sessions. The journey is like a marathon, where I initially aim at the finish line. Carole holds the space and partners with me. Eventually, I built my physical and mental strength and went through an inner journey; Carole helped me hold myself accountable to pass the rigor of reaching the end.”

Executive Development Program Manager – Bangalore India

“I briefly worked with Carole while she consulted on behalf of NLI. She was supporting seasoned facilitators on this assignment.In my experience, she always dealt with people with utmost warmth, professionalism and heart to make a difference.While she herself is a really good facilitator, what makes her brilliant is her abilities to observe, to foster learning space, communicate and coach.
I have witnessed her approach to coaching leaders and facilitators – she’s brilliant at it!”
