I was achieving all my goals on paper, I was unhappy with the way I was achieving them
I know myself better than I did before
I had recently re-joined a firm in a high-profile, high-pressure role. While I was achieving all my goals on paper, I was unhappy with the way I was achieving them (long hours, high stress, loss of fun). I felt dazed and confused!
My internal stakeholders were too close to the problem to support me in the way I needed and I could see clearly that I was heading toward burnout at work, which was creeping into my personal life with the stress ‘hangover’.
The approach Caroline employs really works. She is not burdened by internal factors/distractions, and focuses solely on me. This means the tools and frame of mind I gained from the coaching will stay with me throughout my career, not tethered to the dynamics of one organisation. I identified several areas in which I used to make decisions out of fear, self-limiting beliefs, or half-truths.
By changing my frame of reference, I have been able to focus on what is right for me in that moment and move away from unnecessary long hours and stress and reclaim the joy of my work. I now know myself better than I did before, which is hugely empowering. And, I understand why I react to events the way I do, and have the tools to adjust my mentality and respond in a positive and engaged way.
Manager, Boutique Industry Consultancy
My boss used to lead all our client meetings but I now take charge so he’s free to focus on other priorities.
- This training has had a dramatic impact on the productivity of our business – women who used to hold back are now stepping up and taking charge so I’m freed up to focus on other business priorities. A remarkable result from an investment of just three hours of the team’s time.
- I’m now living deliberately every day in every decision. I feel more empowered; I feel more alive.
- The team are much more positive about what they’re capable of and encourage and support each other to take on bigger challenges.
- Caroline has become a trusted partner to Siemens UK over the past few years. She and her team have run a number of sessions for our Women’s Network focusing on topics such as Imposter Syndrome and Strengthening Personal Authority. The members of the Network have found these sessions extremely helpful and thought-provoking. Caroline’s style is relaxed, friendly and candid. She draws on her own experience of working in senior roles, encouraging participants to open up and share their own stories. Personally, I have found these sessions invaluable and I draw on the lessons learned almost on a daily basis. I would highly recommend Caroline’s approach to anyone wanting to help women in their organisation fulfil their potential.
- It seems an age since I did your Power of Purpose programme but it has only been two years. In that time, I have gutted & renovated two houses, retrained as a community mental health worker and also gone
back to part-time study, as well as made a bunch of meaningful friendships
and re-connected with family. So, I'd say the work you had
me do before I left London for my new life in Australia was
successful!
- Every week, I grew in confidence, just by being me. Not only could I see the benefit that working with Caroline was having but my colleagues could, too. So, I feel fortunate to have had the chance of working with Caroline and would recommend her without hesitation.
- When I talk to Caroline, a big problem becomes a small one.
- The work I did with Attitude Coach helped me understand what it was that I feared and gave me the tools to help me tackle self doubts and stresses which I was heaping upon myself.
- I know myself better than I did before, which is hugely empowering. I understand why I react to events the way I do, and have the tools to adjust my mentality and respond in a positive and engaged way.
