Hi! I’m Carol. I imagine a world where every pastor, layperson, and church is empowered to embrace who they are and what they do with joy, energy, awareness, and purpose. For me, the joy is walking alongside others on that journey of
clarity and growth — that’s the heart of my work as a coach.
I grew up in Maine with a love of people, travel, music, and of course, steamed clams,
clam chowder, and lobster.
(Now, if we were to be more colloquial, we’d say steamahs, chowdah, and lobstah!)
Career blessings include
serving in a variety of
church and denominational
settings—including
American Baptist, Friends, Reformed Church in America, United Church of Christ, and Brethren in Christ. My roles have spanned worship, music,
Christian Education, coaching, advisory boards, and
ministry teams.
My coaching training is in
the International Coaching Federation model.
Alongside that, I've taught voice and piano privately for many years, blending my love for music with my passion for helping others grow.
I am happily married to Jim,
a corporate finance executive,
and we have a treasured daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Sam.
Early in my career,
I experienced a
life-changing awakening that
was born out of some
extensive career coaching,
complete with personality, temperament, and
leadership style testing.
It was profoundly
impactful in my life.
Learning more about how I
was wired was an eye-opening
and affirming process. It
brought a new understanding
of not only how I interacted
with the world but also gave
me insight to better understand
my colleagues, friends, and
family and how they interacted
with the world.
Since then, I continue to be
both fascinated by and
intentional about the journey that all of us travel to better understand ourselves,
our calling, and
those around us.
Coaching offers a valuable
partnership to process,
explore, and navigate
both opportunities
and challenges.
I’d be honored to be that
trusted partner as you focus on
purpose, perspective, clarity,
and empowerment.
We usually think of curiosity as something we direct outward—asking others about their lives, thoughts, and experiences. But some of the most powerful questions we can ask are the
ones we ask ourselves.
Whether personally or professionally, intentional self-questioning helps us pause, evaluate, and gain the kind of perspective that leads to
clarity and forward movement.
Curiosity, when approached
without judgment, gives us
insight into our motivations,
values, and the patterns
that shape how we
show up in the world.
A pastor once referred
someone to me for coaching
and gave them a light-hearted warning: “Just be ready—
she asks a lot of questions!”
And it’s true. I believe that
good questions—whether asked
by a coach or explored within ourselves—can uncover
our core beliefs, highlight our strengths and challenges,
and point us toward more intentional ways of
living and leading.
In coaching, we’ll lean into that power of curiosity together—creating space for thoughtful reflection, courageous insight,
and purposeful next steps.
