She checks in to see how things are going and offers the invitation to call on her any time for support. I highly recommend Carol as a great coach to deal with life’s challenges."

  • "Carol's expertise and guidance were invaluable in structuring our strategic planning process. She expertly facilitated meetings, leveraged technology for real-time collaboration, and helped us gather crucial input from staff and board members. The resulting strategic plan, including the summary document, has energized our team and ensures continued engagement for the next three years."

    Dr. Judith C. (Chair, Houston Area Urban League)

  • "I consulted with Carol as I joined an understaffed organization that required immediate support in building out its board of directors, revising an outdated strategic plan and increasing stakeholder support. Working with Carol was an excellent investment both for myself and my teams, and I cannot recommend her more highly."
