Former Corporate Clients:

“I have known Carolyn Rowe in her capacity as a trainer/consultant for eight years, and I have no hesitation in recommending her as a trainer and facilitator, particularly for leadership-related programs. We contracted with Carolyn to deliver a substantial number of programs, particularly those that involved training first level leaders in the basics of leadership. Her delivery skills are excellent, and her programs were consistently rated very highly by the participants. As a further indication of the confidence I have in Carolyn's ability, when I had a new member of my BP team who was not experienced in the delivery of leadership programs, I paired her with Carolyn, asking Carolyn to train and mentor her, and the results were excellent. In addition to the leadership training Carolyn handled for us, we also asked her to run our developmental assessment center, which she also handled superbly. If skills training are required, particularly in the leadership arena, I unhesitatingly recommend Carolyn for this kind of work. "

“Carolyn is absolutely terrific. Initially, I met her at a course she was leading at BP called Difficult Conversations. She was able to get even those course participants called “prisoners” involved. You know the folks that “have” to be at a class when they really do not want to be there. Later, I engaged Carolyn’s services to lead a two day workshop for my team. At the time, I was the National Training Director at BP. I did not feel it was appropriate for me to facilitate the two day team event for our 40 members. So Carolyn designed and facilitated the event. It was fantastic. The team built essential skills and we did team building at the same time.”

Former Coachee Client

“Carolyn taught me ways to develop new and exciting leadership skills which were appropriate to my personal style.  Keeping true to my core integrity, I learned to communicate more effectively with my staff...to be a better listener and to understand the individual communication needs of each of my employees.  I learned how to soften my approach to appear as open to my staff as I truly am."

“When Carolyn worked with me, I was going through a career change that was not of my choosing.  I was challenged to get grips on my situation, and Carolyn was able to help me work through all of my concerns, to put on a positive face to the world, and to get on with my life!"

"I was working through a job change that included stepping up into a leadership role for the first time, and my organization supported me by contracting with a coach to work through the transition in order to be successful.  That's when Carolyn came into my world...I didn't know what it would be like to work with a coach, and Carolyn made it easy.  You quickly feel like you can trust her with anything that concerns you.  Within a very short time, I was able to confide in her, and I told her my fears.  Carolyn guided me in a step by step approach to more confidently have conversations of importance with my whole team and to get to know each person and personalize my coaching conversations.  Three years later I still hear her voice encouraging me."
