Self-advocacy, Boundaries, and Balance

I started looking for a career coach for a few reasons. As a minority woman, I wanted to understand how to better advocate for myself, particularly in a work environment where my communication style and priorities differed from the cultural norm. I can lean also towards workaholic tendencies, and wanted to learn best practices to protect my boundaries and find more balance in my life.

From our first conversation, I knew I wanted to work with Caroline. Her unique combination of enthusiasm and empathy encouraged me to dig deep and think about what I really want to achieve -- not only in my professional life, but also in my personal one.

Through our time together, I practiced advocating for myself in an authentic way and sticking to my boundaries, even when it was difficult to do so.

Caroline’s program is well-designed, starting from creating a vision for yourself and ending with a plan that you can follow, even after your time together is over. Caroline wasn’t only a coach -- she was also a confidant and a therapist. I trusted her to tell her my concerns, goals, and interests. I appreciated her honest feedback, and also her sense of humor!

I’m confident that our 7 months together will have a long-lasting effect on my career and life. Thank you so much for your support!
