Building the Future I Always Dreamed Of

First of all, Caroline is an amazing coach. She not only has the expertise to guide you on your career (and life) journey, but it’s also obvious that she cares about you and your progress.

I spent my late 20s and early 30s trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I had a well-paying, good career in marketing and sales for a Fortune 500 company, but deep down I knew it just wasn’t what I was meant to do.

In my spare time, I poured over personality tests, podcasts, and books, searching desperately for the answer. I tried hard for years to figure it out on my own but was just spinning in circles, not making progress.

Finally, I decided to invest in a career coach. The key word is "invest" because it takes time and money to go this route, but it was worth it to get me on track towards the life I was meant to live.

I firmly believe that we were all put on this earth to add value in our own unique way. We owe it to ourselves to find out what that is and lean into it.

After working with Caroline, I also believe that anyone can benefit from a career coach. Whether you’re just beginning your career, in the middle of a career/life change, or even at the top of your game, this is a non-biased person you can speak freely with to navigate the complexities of our individual talents and how they can best serve the world we live in.

I met with several career coaches before choosing Caroline. Her articles resonated with me right away, and after our first interaction, I felt confident that she would help me achieve my goals.

Upon starting with her, she quickly highlighted the limiting beliefs I held about myself and how to overcome them. That was key because, to pursue the possibilities, I had to first remove the negative barriers hiding them from my view. Once we got past that point, we began to build the future I always dreamed of. She helped me home in on my unique strengths and interests that led to real, actionable, steps.

She is an active listener, while bringing constant positive energy and an endless tank of ideas. And I appreciate that she always looks for ways to make things fun!

Today, I am building my own consulting business providing financial services for small business owners. I get to pursue what interests me (both finance and helping others), while feeling confident this is the right path for me.

I know I couldn’t have gotten here without coaching because I tried for so long on my own.

And Caroline was absolutely the right coach for me. Even after my formal coaching program has ended, I continue to stay in touch with Caroline. When good things happen, I can’t wait to fill her in!

Choosing to work with Caroline has been the best career decision I’ve ever made, and I’m forever grateful to her. All the best!
