“The most salient memory of collaborating with Carla was the calming presence she brought to an otherwise excitable team. Her empathy, compassion, and patience were a stabilising feature. She was resilient through all of this. She has strong strategic instincts, as she provided great guidance from a content and strategy perspective. One final point about Carla: she is just as comfortable rolling up her sleeves and producing work as she is advising and counselling senior leaders. ”

Understanding, flexible, intuitive, and caring. Carla managed to frame and direct our coaching sessions very naturally, and has been spot on about the focus areas. Carla provided me simple but powerful ways to look at and analyse people, including myself, and situations. Her approach had just the right balance between being inquisitive, direct, and being a guiding force to make me find my own path. Eventually, our sessions allowed me to become a more effective with my team – as well as more efficient and assertive within the leadership team.
