What People Are Saying

---

  I have had the opportunity to work with Carol Hoffman since 2019 as I have resourced pastors as a regional bishop, and more recently as a lead pastor in Upland, CA. Carol has earned my highest respect for her work with Hoffman Clarity Coaching. She understands the importance of strategic leadership, relational acuity, and personal well-being. She is equally comfortable looking inward at spiritual-emotional issues, as she is looking outward at the systemic challenges leaders face in their day-to-day lives. As a coach, she is insightful and wise. As a person, she is approachable, optimistic, and kind.

For anyone looking for guidance in becoming the best version of yourself

that you can possibly be, I would suggest that you need not look any further than

my good friend, Carol Hoffman.

Lead Pastor

Upland BIC Church

Over the years I have been able

to work through different

seasons of life with Carol.

She has comforted me

and validated life experiences

that I wrongly believed

were my fault, and instead

helped me to see

both sides of the situation

and identify where I needed growth.

She has widened my perspective

and been an invaluable

source of wisdom for me.

She is constantly challenging me

to think deeper, dream bigger,

understand motives, and

never accept the easiest answers.

I truly know that I have gained

so much from her guidance. 

Cassandra

The coaching experience provided

a safe environment to reflect on my pastoral leadership journey.

I’m so thankful for someone like

Carol to process with.

She asks thoughtful questions

and she's empowered me

to discover keen insights

about my leadership style.

She helped me clarify

and find words to articulate

some of my key values and needs. 

It’s been helpful to have

Carol alongside me as

I become more intentional

about making important decisions.

I highly recommend you book

a session with Carol

as soon as possible.

You will be glad you did.

  I have thoroughly enjoyed and

benefited from having coaching

sessions with Carol! She is a wise

and thoughtful listener and excellent

at seeing through to the heart

of a matter. Her follow-up questions

are thoughtful and thought-provoking.

They have helped me grow in

self-awareness and personal development. On weeks when

I’ve arrived at our time together

feeling overwhelmed and

scattered, I finish feeling seen

and heard with a clearer

path ahead. She is not just a joy

to spend time talking with, but

I always leave our times together

feeling encouraged and strengthened.

  I was very skeptical about the effectiveness of life coaching—until I met with Carol. Prior to my sessions, I felt overwhelmed by a lack of understanding about my close relationships, faith, and self-image. I also felt helpless in identifying the sources of my problems, and seeking out practical applications to address them. Now, I feel better equipped to intentionally identify areas of uncertainty, and move toward comprehension. Carol offers active listening and thoughtful questions that lead to insightful revelations about myself and others. These realizations empower me to experience greater agency in the healing process, and take a more active role in life. No matter who you are, Carol is relatable. Her compassion and openness ensure my safety in being totally vulnerable and genuine in our sessions. Lastly, she is extremely knowledgeable about additional resources for self-understanding. She can suggest invaluable books, podcasts, personality tests, and other media for exploring certain topics in greater detail. I am moved by Carol’s work, and proud to offer my highest recommendation for

Hoffman Clarity Coaching. 

Bradley  

After 20-plus years leading an international ministry organization,

I found myself in a season in life where

I was overwhelmed, anxious, and somewhat fearful.

I had always had the faith and determination to take on whatever life

threw at me, but this time,

I didn’t feel like I could pull it off.

I didn’t have the energy!

Carol slowly led me into a safe space, allowing me to be vulnerable and let go

and trust. Carol is helping me develop

a life plan to move forward. She has

given me the confidence that I can

absolutely achieve this!

I’m so very grateful for Carol’s love, guidance, and prayerful support.

Carol is a gift from God to me!

  Carol, you encouraged me to discover who I am besides a helpmate,

now that my husband has passed -

to discover who God created me to be.

The discovery of what fills my tank

has made a change in my life.

As I was reading Matthew 12:25

this morning, I realized that

you helped me to not be

divided against myself,

maybe for the first time in my life. 

I am now content and

happy to be me. 

Thank you, Carol, for your

guidance in learning how

 to live life more fully.

  Carol’s questions and encouragement have been extremely valuable. Her voice is now in my head daily, encouraging me to open-handedly question and evaluate my perspective. Carol doesn’t provide answers, but she encourages me to find my answers. It’s been helpful to have someone process with me and hold me accountable to put my goals and plans into action. Our discussions have not only given me a better understanding of myself and my leadership but also of my staff

and how I can encourage them

as individuals and as team members.

I would highly recommend

coaching with Carol.
