It’s been a pleasure to work with/for Carol; she’s like the Swiss Army knife of HR - there’s not a discipline or project she has not touched in her career and that speaks volumes to her credibility.

Thought Leadership
In a year’s time, with the training, mentoring and coaching of Carol, I increased my income 30%. I gained awareness of blockers to my success and was able to increase my salary again from her support and encouragement.
Because of you, I’m walking away understanding that my boss views me as a leader; he hired me and he’s paying me to be a leader. I need to approach him as a leader. So that’s my take away….It’s OK to be a leader.
