Testimonials

Carmie has been the most important and impactful person in my business career.  She is genuine, smart, intuitive, disarming and leads you to self examine.  She is part muse, part teacher, part friend, part psychologist, but she is all Carmie.  There is no one I trust more completely and recommend more fully than Carmie.  Working with her will change your life.

Carmie has a gift of getting to the heart of issues. She uses a combination of tools to understand her clients and customize her approach accordingly.

Carmie has the ability to impact and relate to senior executives and client facing professionals. I would highly recommend her to any firm who needs problem solving to professional development.

I was a senior manager with over 30 years of management experience and quite comfortable with my skill set when I met Carmie.  With her help, I raised my leadership; management, sales management and coaching skills to levels I didn’t know existed.  These skills also helped me to improve the effectiveness of my management team and the performance of their sales people as we consistently exceeded our sales and profitability goals.

Carmie is not only successful working one on one, but she is also a fantastic communicator and trainer for large groups.  She enjoys a unique capability to effectively communicate with all levels of team members from leaders to producers and support staff.    Her ability to identify and communicate behavioral and motivational tendencies of individuals is second to none.

As Head of Wells Fargo’s Wealth Management Group’s Regional offices, I worked very closely with Carmie. Leadership development was a common goal we shared, and implementation of our business strategy was totally dependent on the coaching effectiveness of our leadership team.

I observed Carmie as she built a coaching culture within our organization. A culture where leaders developed and appreciated the the skills required to help others improve their effectiveness and productivity which resulted in annual double digit revenue growth. I personally benefited from Carmie’s coaching skills, as she helped me better understand the importance of authenticity and vulnerability from a leadership perspective. Carmie is not afraid to ask the tough, thought provoking questions we all need to ask ourselves as we continue to develop as leaders. I would highly recommend Carmie as an Executive Coach from a leadership development standpoint.

As my most trusted advisor, I’ve benefited from Carmie’s wisdom for years. Carmie has first-hand knowledge of how personal growth leads to professional growth and achievement in the competitive corporate world.

Her openness and acceptance inspire trust and she puts people at ease, offering her honest, compassionate and thought-provoking feedback. My conversations with Carmie and her ongoing devotion to me being my best continue to inspire me.

What differentiates Carmie from traditional coaches is her unique understanding of how communication style impacts personal and business interactions.  Carmie helped me realize how to quickly recognize the most effective communication styles for specific personality types.  Whether you are attempting to influence, manage, lead or sell, Carmie’s insight and experience will help you make your communications more effective.

I approached my coaching engagement with some degree of uncertainty of what I needed or wanted out of our sessions.  I knew that the new role I had taken needed some deeper perspective from me as a leader, but I was unsure of how to get there on my own.

Carmie knew immediately how to coax out what was challenging me. She started with me on a path of discovery – asking thought-provoking questions and working in unique ways.

I left each session with a better understanding of how to bring my leadership and my strengths into my daily work.   Together, we tackled tough topics that brought growth and learning. Carmie was always available, patient and very insightful.

I had left a job that had completely burnt me out and was entertaining the idea of launching a business of my own.  Carmie helped me make sense of my self doubt and shift my fears into powerful energy that I could use in my favor instead of holding me back.  Her direct approach kept our time together efficient and powerful.

I left Carmie’s sessions focused, confident and clear in my next steps of my career and self development.  She exudes a genuine warmth and optimism; you can trust that she can see your potential!

Carmie is an extraordinary coach! She has the perfect blend of insight, intelligence and compassion that help people become better leaders and better human beings.  I have witnessed the impact of her coaching in helping leaders develop practical steps for improving performance. I consider her coaching a gift that has helped me grow and develop even farther than I thought I could achieve. Her process is simple, yet thought provoking. Most of us know what we need to do to change, but Carmie provides the support and tools to make it a reality.

Carmie’s approach to coaching is holistic and integrated, taking into account the whole person, balancing the human being and the human doing.

One of the greatest lessons I learned from her is about the power of choice which empowers personal responsibility.  This ultimately leads to greater confidence and a sense of control over our own lives.

She asks the questions that dive into the heart of our desires and needs.  And from there, helped me to articulate a vision, and align personal, professional, relational goals to support this vision.  The depth, power and effectiveness of her coaching comes from the integrity and authenticity of having walked the talk.
