How I went from disastrous manager to helping hundreds of people develop their leadership skills and build their careers...
My career did not have an auspicious start. I had to fire the first person I’d ever managed so it is fair to say that I wasn't a "natural leader"
Then I had a breakthrough...
A few years later I was lucky enough to have a great coach. That was when I realised that by working on my mindset & learning new tools and approaches I could get totally different results. I stopped feeling like a victim of circumstances and started to take control of my career. I learnt a lot about myself, about the impact I had on others and about how to think, feel and act like a leader.
And it paid off. I kept being promoted and was made a Director at 29, turning around a dysfunctioning team and doubling income for the charity. From there I was given so many interesting opportunities including becoming CEO of a charity called Tiny Tickers and Managing Director of a leading charity recruitment company (despite only having spent a year in recruitment!!)
Fast forward to today...
I've been coaching for 10 years now and I love what I do, helping people fulfil their potential. I coach people 1:1 and have helped hundreds of people through my online programmes. Seeing them have breakthroughs and get results makes me feel fulfilled.
I also get to host my own podcast on leadership mindset, have written a book on leadership and speak at events and chair panels on leadership.

“The Leadership Skills Lab has helped me to identify my natural strengths as a leader, as well as providing tools and advice on developing my other skills. Thanks to Carla for putting so much into the programme, I’ve improved my confidence and capability as a leader and I’m identifying new opportunities to put these into practice all the time!”
