“Caroline is, without question, one of the best blessings I've received on my founder journey. She leads with compassion and curiosity, asks insightful questions, and shares reflections that expand how I think about my role as a leader. In just three months, Caroline has helped me delegate more strategically and consistently, enhance my fundraising efforts, and communicate more effectively with my team and with potential partners.

Caroline always ensures that I stay in the driver seat of my founder journey, but having her in the passenger seat - pointing out new pathways to explore and keeping me grounded and confident - is invaluable, to say the least.

Working with Caroline has been especially valuable during a season when I have to be ruthless about my priorities, particularly when it comes to fundraising for my nonprofit. Recently I found myself in a pattern of doing work that was urgent, but not important. I knew there was a problem, and Caroline helped me get to the root of it. She guided me through an exercise that helped me understand - and have compassion for - the reasons why it was hard for me to remain focused on revenue-building activities. I also appreciated that I left the session with concrete tools to shift my behavior over time. We've celebrated my behavior changes, small as they may seem, in future sessions too. I've felt so seen and cared for.

I've appreciated Caroline's insights on how to build partnerships with new potential customers, as my nonprofit enters a stage where we're selling our core education offerings to more schools and districts. She's given me actionable feedback on how to strengthen my outreach messages, and has shared specific guidance on how to think about the earliest stages of our sales process. Her insights have helped me focus on what matters most.

Beyond her sales support, Caroline has been a remarkable sounding board on how to build and sustain an organizational culture rooted in care and equity. I tend to default to crafting policies and practices that put my organization before myself, which isn't sustainable. Caroline has tactfully proposed ideas that allow me to care for myself, while still caring for the collective.

I could go on and on about how incredible Caroline is. But you won't fully understand her power until you experience it firsthand. If you're confused about what to do, or if you’re someone who knows what to do, but for some reason, just doesn't get it done - set up a call with Caroline, and share what's really on your mind and heart. You're in for a treat.”
