I sought out a coach who could support me in my specific role as I transitioned to Director of Development. I was looking for more than professional development workshops or theoretical best practices — I wanted someone I could brainstorm with, workshop ideas, and have real-world conversations about the challenges I was facing. In just six months, she has given me incredible confidence and has been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself.
What I love about Carol is that she is both supportive and challenging. She pushes me with kindness and clarity, always practical and no-nonsense. Carol is generous with her time and experience, bringing not just best practices but real-world insight into fundraising — how to work with colleagues, boards, and navigate difficult situations with professionalism and even joy.
I often find myself thinking, ‘What would Carol say?'”
