CEO Client Testimonial

Clare is warm, frank, and curious, generously offering both her tacit knowledge and nuanced perspectives to those she coaches.  She instantaneously creates safe space to process and grow while providing concrete support. As a relatively new CEO, Clare's coaching has helped me shape my growth and cope with the inevitable challenges of being in executive leadership.
