“Caroline has been my sounding board and my support system since we started working together. Initially, we were meant to sit down to discuss a select handful to topics related to being a person (and more specifically, a woman) in the workforce, but I soon learned that I could discuss almost anything with her – both directly and tangentially related to my career. I really valued being able to have those deeper conversations with someone that had no intentions other than to listen and provide feedback or advice. Through our conversations, I realized that my feelings about a multitude of things related to my career were not unique to me, which empowered me to have very similar conversations with other people that I work with on a day-to-day basis. Working with Caroline has really helped reframe my perspectives on my career and longer term ambitions. I would highly recommend working with Caroline.”
