From our introductory call, I knew that Cara would provide clear, actionable guidance and support. She took time to learn about me before we officially engaged - my values, ways of work, communication and leadership styles. Cara then provides a kind of ‘career therapy’ which helped me to identify the type of work and work environment I wanted, re-activate my networking efforts and craft a strong value proposition that anchored my interview responses
Throughout my journey, Cara consistently gave constructive feedback, access to her network, accountability and encouragement that took my natural tendency towards taking action and made it clear, focused and effective. I am happy to say that my most recent role was found using the skills I sharpened with Cara - utilizing my network, being open to something that is new, using consistent interview prep and focusing on what I could control to produce an offer.

In my prior position, the senior leadership team was given the opportunity to work with individual coaches to enhance our leadership abilities and any other areas we wanted to work on. I screened several coaches before selecting Cara, and I am so glad I went with her. From the initial phone call to our routine meetings, Cara and I connected right off the bat. She is very down-to-earth, and it was very easy to have open and frank discussions with her. Cara immediately set out to interview colleagues and my direct reports to provide me with a picture of how I show up at work. She took the time to understand the context around my work experiences, using that to help me identify my strengths and to frame areas I wanted to work on. Cara really takes the time to understand your unique needs, talents, and aspirations, and provides you the necessary tools and strategies to take you to the next level. She was always honest with me and will tell you exactly what you need to know to do your best on the job. Her coaching was extraordinarily insightful, and will stay with me throughout the rest of my career. I always left my meetings with Cara feeling more optimistic and confident in my abilities I very much respect and value her guidance and coaching style, and strongly endorse her.

Hiring Cara for executive career coaching was absolutely the best investment decision I ever made. Her holistic approach to coaching, encouragement and support have been invaluable as I navigated ingrained negative mindset challenges and job decisions. Cara has helped me tremendously in my professional evolution and I firmly believe I wouldn’t be in the role I am in today if it were not for our work together. I strongly encourage anyone who is serious about their career or in maximizing their potential to invest in career coaching with Cara. I will certainly continue to do so. Thank you, Cara!

I had the pleasure of recently being a client to Cara. She provided valuable and insightful feedback in the moment, which is important as it helped me understand what I needed to change to reach my potential. She approached each session with energy and focus, providing concrete actions and tools that I could apply often. I found Cara to be professional, candid, and able to deliver the tough message I needed to hear to help me achieve my goals. Cara helped me grow, and I look forward to engaging her as I evolve into a better person, better businessperson, and continue to achieve my personal and professional goals. Thank you, Cara.

Give Cara the keys and let her create a great empowerment session for you! You’ll watch in amazement as she electrifies the room. She’s a favorite at my Shine On women’s events. A joy to work with AND she changes lives right before your eyes.

My fellow L’Oreal colleagues and I had the pleasure of attending Cara’s training on Emotional Intelligence & Trust a few months ago. Not only was it insightful and engaging, but Cara was able to foster som edeep dialogue amongst the group. Cara is a brilliant speaker, and perhaps more importantly, listener. I would highly recommend attending one of her sessions.”
