Africa & Peacekeeping Manager | CIVIC
Working with Cara was a very empowering experience. Cara is skilled at intuitive listening and deconstructing those often-unexamined limiting beliefs and patterns that do not serve us. We were able to identify some of my blind spots and unhelpful communication patterns. Not only did she dig deep and fully show up, she took me on a journey that led to increased self-awareness and self-actualization. Cara knows the coaching frameworks and lingo, but more importantly holds you accountable to your higher self and tailors sessions to meet you where you are. The coaching process wasn't always easy because you're doing a deep excavation of personal values, strengths, development areas, and receiving 360-feedback from colleagues. In the end, I feel I gained incredibly valuable tools and a better understanding of how to be a more effective colleague and leader. These have had an immediate impact on my work and personal relationships. I highly recommend Cara!
If you are looking for an executive coach to transform you from the inside out -- allowing you to move past your internal roadblocks and onto a path to reach your full potential -- Cara Power is the executive coach for you. Cara and I instantly connected. She was more interested in me as a person, my authentic self not just the self that shows up at work. We dove into areas that I consider weaknesses and what I believed has held me back. Cara's technique goes beyond traditional executive coaching and really gets to the heart of who you are as a person and how that translates to how you show up in your career. She guides you to explore who you want to be in all aspects of your life and provides tools to get there or in most cases tips to get out of your own way. My life as a whole has transformed since working with Cara. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a holistic shift.

Cara helped me identify opportunities where I could communicate in more productive and impactful ways and provided tools to help me implement those communication changes and strategies at relevant moments.

I counted on her to provide both an open, secure space for honest, interactive dialogue AND clear actionable takeaways at the end of our sessions. She is all about taking action!

I've had the pleasure of working with Cara in two different settings. She was my coach through a Council of Urban Professionals (CUP) fellowship, and also an event speaker for Give One Dream -- a community I am building to help people pursue their dreams. Cara is warm, kind, full of positive spirit, and her presence lights up the room. She is an amazing listener and has helped me gain new perspectives and make decisions in both my professional and personal life. People who attended the Give One Dream event and heard her speak also had rave reviews; they learned so much from her about the attitudes and perspectives they need in order to be happy at work.

This had an immediate impact on my role within the company and continues to resonate. Working with Cara was an investment not only in my career, but in the way I see myself in the world.
