Testimonials

Words from my clients

Charlotte is professional, grounded with years of experience and extensive knowledge. She did an incredible job covering numerous materials, checking in with me along the way during our zoom session. She provided invaluable insights on how to run coaching sessions and presentations, how to address questions that may arise, provided key materials to use and also helped me as a certified Coach with my own personal talent themes and Strengths. Charlotte will exceed your expectations, I only wish I'd found her sooner!

Charlotte's wealth of experience and insights have truly expanding my own professional development. She balances having her own strong business acumen with where you want to go and explore. She validated what I know (for my own confidence) and created awareness around other ideas I would have never thought of. She masterfully helps guide me on my own journey.

Mark Russell

Founder & Principle Consultant , The Business Relationship Group LLC

Charlotte has a very effective way of "nudging" you towards that next step in your coaching development. As a coach trying to build a business, with strong Relator talents, the one on one sessions with Charlotte were invaluable. Charlotte is very generous with her time and willingness to share her experience. She has a plethora of templates that she is willing to share which is helpful to guide coaches who are newer in the "business" of coaching.

Shaina Lane

Owner, Premier Professional Coaching

I gained insight into some new tools to incorporate into my training deliveries as well as validation on some of the tools I currently leverage. Time spent with Charlotte was invaluable and reminded me of some gems that I hadn't used in awhile as well as some new treasures to go. Charlotte's style is energizing, action-oriented, and fast while at the same time being accurate and thorough in answering my questions.

Strengths and Engagement Consultant, Follow your Strengths

Charlotte is willing to go to great lengths to assess needs and then work to fulfill those needs. She is intelligent, personable, and highly effective as she interacts with other coaches to make sure they have all the resources they need. I greatly value Charlotte's outreach and professionalism in the coaching community. I appreciate her willingness and ability to mentor other coaches on a variety of significant topics. In particular, she has helped me secure and utilize valuable resources related to "Strengths and Change."

Claire Kent

MBA Associate Professor of Business, Mary Baldwin University

She is a coach's coach. She truly fuels on helping others and her generosity with providing insight and materials to fellow coaches is amazing. I recommend working with Charlotte for anyone that is starting or that feels they need the next level of coaching regardless of their experience.  Charlotte's knowledge and helpful instruction is both enlightening and rewarding as a coach. She has insight after years of instruction that comes across as subtle instruction or larger, more critical actions. My approach to coaching changed to a more forward leaning coach and both my wife and I use her templates and materials for both inspiration and as a framework for outreach.

We all need a Charlotte in our lives, I'm happy I found her.

Andrea Ross

Managing Director, The Career Establishment

Charlotte is generous, direct and kind. She doesn't beat around the bush, she gets to business but in a way you know you are being taken care of - that she is making sure you get the most out of your time together. She is willing to share not only her experiences and ideas but also her vast resources and tools. She'll share what has worked (and hasn't) for her and coach you through how you might take the resources and make them work for YOU. And she'll do all this while keeping things positive, cracking jokes, and bringing a sense of ease to the process.

Regardless how long you have been coaching, everyone can benefit from having Charlotte as an experienced partner on your side!  Charlotte is able to navigate the dual roles of coach and mentor seamlessly. The rhythm of my sessions were fluid and seamless. Charlotte listened to my needs to asked clarifying questions so I received what I  needed and wanted!

Lisa Schmith

Owner and Coach, Meridian Leadership Solutions

I got so much value from just one session with Charlotte. As an experienced coach and facilitator it was so insightful and inspiring to spend 90 minutes working on my own offering as a coach and consultant. I had insights into why I do things, where I'm limiting myself and how I can add huge value to future client work. Working with Charlotte, as experienced strengths coach and facilitator herself proved to be a brilliant way for me to get ideas, inspiration and tools to keep getting better.

If you are looking to develop yourself so that you're more effective as a coach then I highly recommend Charlotte to provide tailored professional development that can have an instant and dramatic impact on the quality of your work and the effectiveness of your service.

Leadership Consultant, Vanessa Davey Consulting Limited

Charlotte provided me the benefit of space and a listening / processing partner. She has a wonderful ability to help me get out of my own head and figure out my next step or course of action.

Charlotte is generous with her time and attention; regardless of whether you are a paying client engaged in a multi-session journey, or just a one-off coaching chat to get you into motion. She is always thoughtful, and I consider her one of a handful of "master" coaches I truly trust and respect. You are doing yourself a favor by engaging with her coaching.

Charlotte is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. She has helped me brainstorm ideas for training and shared with me supporting materials. She has also walked me through ideas and concepts with demonstrations which has been very helpful. I appreciate her practical style. All of this has given me greater confidence.

Diane A Ross

Founder, Elephant Conversations Ltd.

When engaging in a conversation with Charlotte for the first time, the thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that I could tell she was really and clearly listening to every word I was saying with intent. She asked thoughtful and provoking questions - something that seems so simple yet something that I haven't quite felt with anyone else. Her behavior instills feelings of comfort, care, and genuine willingness to help. This is what made me feel valued and that our time together meant something to her.

Elena Pastore

Leadership and Career Coach, Elena Pastore LLC

The benefits are many ... in the moment of coaching Charlotte effortlessly creates a safe space for you to explore your goals, struggles, challenges and purpose.  You can lean on her coaching expertise to nudge the conversation forward and you always leave with a tangible outcome.  As a bonus, simply taking note of her questions/way of framing is a skill to learn from in itself.  And post the coaching experience, you are then in Charlotte's astounding headspace and can benefit from the endless ways she continues to make connections and foster growth and learning. If you're a certified coach and just starting out on your journey with Strengths or experienced and looking for a refresher on your coaching style or facilitation skills then Charlotte is someone I would not hesitate to reach out to. I will continue to use Charlotte as my go to person to continually improve my skills as a coach and strengths facilitator.

Gaye Rutherford

Charlotte brought insights, creativity, and ideas to a planning session for an upcoming team based workshop. Her experience and generosity with resources was of incredible value to our session. She asked insightful questions to fully understand my client and helped me tailor a solution to match the desired outcome. She considered my themes when helping me leverage my own style in serving the needs of my client. Her breath and depth of knowledge surround the CliftonStrengths resource was an incredible asset to helping me create value in for this session as well as equipping me with long term understanding for future client work.

She provided tools, templates, examples and resources which allowed me to have far more than a running start to this session. She helped me structure the session and map it to resources which created a 'customized' approach to the client group as well as aligning it to my own facilitation style. She's a valuable resource with a creative mind and an open hand to help other coaches and trainers succeed.

Ted Baird

Charlotte is very knowledgeable and instils confidence as a coach and mentor. I think that coaching is a must for anyone looking to get clarity on their Strengths and working. I really appreciated Charlotte's coaching approach, understanding that I have and know the answers, but asking really great questions to get me to answer them. I am a coach myself and appreciated the contrast she was able to deliver to get me to clarity quicker.
