  • What Upsiders are saying

    “Carolyn is patient and understanding. She creates and maintains psychological safety. Carolyn did a wonderful job of helping me self-reflect and solve for things myself versus telling me what to do.”

  • What Upsiders are saying

    “Carolyn is a great listener, straightforward, truly cares, connected, knowledgeable, skilled, confident, intelligent, and strategic. I love her vision, and she gives great advice when asked. Carolyn is simply the BEST coach and mentor I’ve ever had.”

  • What Upsiders are saying

    “Carolyn has steadiness in her coaching. It is both comfroting and calming and gives me so much confidence in both her coaching ability and our relationship. She’s also very knowledgeable in her coaching craft and has an ability to read the person/situation and call on her past experience + knowledge to fit the given situation.

    I thoroughly enjoy my coaching time with Carolyn. It is truly something that I look forward to when it’s coming up on my calendar. I leave our time together feeling like I have a roadmap - direction to take - and know that I’ll have that accountability for the next time we meet. She has incredible patience when I’m processing my own thoughts, and I can always tell that she genuinely cares about me as a person and my success in my current and future endeavors.”
