Empowering Charity Leaders to Achieve Change

Empathetic, solution-focused coaching supporting you to realise your personal and professional goals

Leading with resilience and confidence

Leading a charity requires a unique set of skills, commitment, and drive and can be amazingly rewarding. You commit to the cause and find the resilience and confidence to overcome challenges because you want to make a difference.

Investing in 1-1 coaching with a personal and professional performance coach who understands the role that you do and is empathetic to the many challenges you face can support you focus on your:

Personal Goals & Growth: Time to focus on your aspirations and support you to take steps forward to achieve your personal goals.
Resilience & Adaptability: Providing a supportive space for you to build creative coping strategies to respond to challenges and opportunities, avoiding overwhelm and burn-out.
Team Empowerment: Tools and techniques to build effective team communication, motivation, and delegation to achieve organisational goals.
Confidence Building: Reflection on your leadership style and skills, bolstering your confidence in your abilities and recognising the strengths you hold.
Positive Personal Well-being: Prioritising your own well-being, or work-life balance alongside the drive for organisational success.

A compassionate and considered coaching partner

Whether it is investing in your own self-care, personal performance, and positive well-being, or drawing on your strengths, skills, and strategies to solve a practical organisational need, I will provide you with a confidential, safe professional space to have the thinking time to work through the challenges that you face. You can be your authentic self and work ‘one-to-one’ with a straight-talking, empathetic coach.

I will actively listen, seek to understand, and support you to enhance your positive well-being, taking time for self-care, alongside building solution-focused ways forward to achieve your goals.

Testimonials

Before working with Carla, I was feeling stuck in my career and personal life. I was frustrated and unsure where to take things next. Carla helped me identify my strengths and values, and we developed a plan to achieve my goals. Carla's no-nonsense and warm approach was eye-opening, and her guidance gave me the confidence to act. Carla helped me to identify my priority focus goal, and in the next sessions, we broke down the goal further into smaller, actionable steps. I have achieved several of my smaller goals since working with Carla and am excited to continue meeting the rest of my goals going forward.

Carla has been amazing to work with, has great energy and is an excellent listener. She helped me build resilience in myself and source tools to support my team through a period of transition. Through deep questioning and digging into options I was able to reframe and find new ways to look at the problem, I came away from each session motivated and eager to take steps forward. The team adapted to the transition successfully, and I now feel more confident, and positive in decisions that affect my personal and professional life.

I thoroughly enjoyed being coached by Carla. Her natural engagement style is warm with a buoyant energy that motivates and lifts through sessions. She was in tune with my moods and motivation each session, which made the dialogue natural and effortless. Carla was incredibly effective at ‘pinning me down’ to a plan, encouraging me to commit to deadlines and clarify exactly what I’d do for each stage of the process. She held me accountable in an authentic and human way, making me feel more capable and confident in rebalancing my well-being, which has had an amazing impact on both my personal and professional life.

I found Carla to be an attentive, energetic, and mindful coach. She listened carefully and challenged me well. She has tremendous positive energy and life experience and was able to really understand the business and personal challenges I was facing. Coaching with Carla provided a safe, confidential space to explore ways forward and helped me to unblock my thoughts, find solutions and move forward.

Coaching with Carla was invaluable. Carla’s supportive challenge helped me have much greater self-confidence at work and relationships with my line manager and my team are far more positive, with conflict issues now resolved. This renewed confidence has developed alongside exploring my own personal well-being needs. Carla helped me to consider my beliefs and values and I realised that some of the issues I faced were due to my values not being met. I value time for leisure and home, and re-adjusting my work-life balance has enabled me to spend more time with my family. I also identified relaxation tools and techniques that can be used at home and at work, which has reduced anxiety and stress, and improved my overall personal and professional well-being.
