I’ve had the pleasure of working with Caro as my executive coach, to enhance my success as a senior executive in the funds management industry. Caro’s style is to challenge existing paradigms by offering alternative solutions to issues faced by her client. She is results focused whilst ensuring that you achieve your goals in ways that are unique and congruent to the individual she is coaching. She does this in an environment that involves sharing your aspirations and frustrations and draws on her own years of experience as a senior executive in the corporate world. This I found particularly valuable, that she had herself faced and worked through similar corporate challenges. I believe Caro has a unique blend of empathy, assertiveness and corporate experience that make her a highly successful coach of business professionals. I would have every confidence in recommending her to individuals or organizations looking for a results focused, action driven executive coach.

About Me
With over 30 years business experience in global corporate; as a business owner of several businesses; and a digital entrepreneur, I bring all of this front-facing professional experience together when I work with my clients, who are senior corporate leaders, business owners, or entrepreneurs.
My academic qualifications include a business degree in marketing, post grad psychology diploma, and an ICF recognised corporate leadership coaching certification in the US.
Being solutions & results focused, I’m recognised for being able to elicit the best from my clients in a way that recognises who they uniquely are.
Clients like to work with me because of my innate ability to get to the truth of a situation, building an immediate connection with people. Creating clarity and a path forward for my clients with empathy whilst maintaining focus on achieving the desired results in a way that is authentic.
I also know first hand the complexities of balancing being a leader in your business, and facing challenges in your personal life, having both taken on a front line caregiving role when I moved back to New Zealand, and most recently surviving breast cancer after 13 months of active treatment.
Most of us have our own challenges we are facing.
By choosing to authentically lead with clarity, intelligence, empathy, and a determination to achieve success for all involved is what supports us to lead fulfilled, enriched professional and personal lives.
I facilitate shifting of attitudes, offering easy-to-adopt tools that lead you to effective & sustainable results, namely increased productivity for the individual, and bottom line improvement for the organisation.
As well as working one to one, I offer customised training programs for key employees catering to your business’s needs. My style is interactive, energised, and fun with depth, leading to concrete output.
I’ve written two books: ‘The Power of You’, and ‘Finding Sprinkles of Joy When Fed A Shit Sandwich’, e-books, a monthly newsletter, and am skilled at content and copywriting. I’ve spoken on stages around the globe on professional development topics such as Authentic Leadership; Managing with a Coach Approach; Digital Marketing; as well as speaking openly about surviving Breast Cancer.
My clients span NZ, Australia, US, Canada and the UK and include: SwissRe, St George, AMP, rldesign, PKF, Schroders, Principal Financial Group, Saatchi & Saatchi, Sudler & Hennessey, Telefocus, to name a few.
In my personal life I am a lover of my family, friends, and all animals, French champagne, sailing, yoga and walking.

Testimonials
Hillross
I expect my coaches to have both business experience and business acumen, of which Caro has demonstrated this time and time again. Her knowledge across several issues has impressed me, as well as her ability to extract the best from within myself. I would highly recommend Caro’s services to anyone who wished to raise the bar either in their professional life, or their business. Caro is a consummate professional that I would have no hesitation about hiring not only as a coach, but as a member of any strategic team I was putting together.
St George Margin Lending
With great delight and appreciation I wish to recommend Caro who has been my executive coach, and who has helped me grow and develop my personal and professional life in a most inspiring and effective way. Caro speaks to me in my language and relates to me in my communication style. She has a natural ability to motivate me to think of what I want to achieve and guide me through to realise my goals with my own action plan and commitment. Her respect to others is highly regarded. I can openly share with her the challenges I face and she affirms my strengths and potential to meet the challenges, and overcome any barriers that may block my way. I am amazed by her wide business knowledge and experience. She is always ready to utilise and relate them to my coaching needs and help me to upgrade professional skills in areas like marketing, communication, presentation, negotiation, leadership, and staff management.
S&H
I have been working with Caro for almost two years and during that time I have been able to clearly define my career goals and personal needs and have worked on determining how I can get their most effectively. I am also really pleased that my business unit has continued to improve…we have had the same Client Services team for almost one year, our turnover of business has reduced considerably, and we continue to win new business. As a result of coaching, I have become more confident and I know that a solution to a problem exists: I just need to look at different ways of finding it. It was really important for me to find someone who could understand my work environment, and the particular pressures of that, which Caro demonstrably does
AMP
The challenges I was facing, both professionally and personally were some I had not encountered before. You assisted me to ask questions of myself that lead me to deal with those challenges in a way that was a win for everyone involved. “The biggest lesson I learned from our work together was just how powerful I am from within, and that by making commitments to myself, rather than others all of the time, made me realise exactly what I am capable of. Caro your passion for what you do is clear and reflected in every communication we had. I hope my passion for what I do is just as obvious. Thank you for working with me!
PKF
Caro provided me with a cornerstone to believe that my attitudes and opinions can be moulded to suit my working needs as well as build a strong team of people around me. Whether they be clients, staff, or suppliers of services. Caro has taught me that my mindset need not be set in stone, and I need to rethink, realign and react to all aspects of business life, constantly. Caro has been a constant source of support to lead me through potentially sticky situations, as well as a sounding board to bounce all ideas off.
