Let's Connect!

Welcome!

Whether you're leading yourself, your family, a team, or an entire organization, we all encounter moments when decisions, big or small, feel difficult.

If you've found your way here, it may be time for a conversation. Coaching can help you move forward with clarity and confidence. It provides the space to uncover what matters most in the moment, explore your options, and gain insight into the motives behind your choices.

Finding the right coach is a personal and important decision. I’m Carlyene.

I get energized helping people uncover their purpose - their “why” and align their choices accordingly. I bring the richness of my life experience as a veteran, wife, mother, care partner, and leadership development professional to my coaching practice. 

Welcome to my website. I'd be honored to explore if we're the right fit. After all, life is a continuous series of choices and decisions.  I’m here to help.

Client Testimonials

  • “A coach tells you to look but doesn’t tell you what to see” —Alexandra K Trenfor.

    I like this quote. It exemplifies my coaching experience with Carlyene. She strikes the perfect balance of firmness and kindness. Both are equally important. Her firmness pushed me out of my comfort zone to look deeper within me for hidden treasures, and her kindness supported me when I found gems that needed refinement. Every coaching session with Carlyene was full of personal discoveries that enhanced my professional life. Her coaching amplified my voice and strength and renewed my self-confidence. 

    —Senior Healthcare Leader

  • What I appreciate about Carlyene’s coaching style is the way she probes for the underlying meaning of the challenges I face. Her questions help me to go deeper into what I am experiencing and how that experience impacts what is most important to me.  

    I am grateful for the open, candid, sometimes challenging, and always insightful way that Carlyene holds space for me to think through the emotions around situations I face so that I can make the best decision in alignment with my goals and priorities.

    —Nonprofit Leader

  • As a small business owner, I felt depleted juggling the responsibilities of being a wife, mother of three, and running my business.

    Carlyene listened with compassion and understanding that helped me challenge my assumptions and see things that were holding me back from realizing the change I sought in my life. She helped me understand how to bring more balance into my life.

    —Small Business Owner

My Leadership Philosophy

My leadership philosophy is grounded in three core beliefs:

  1. Leadership is a choice, not a title.

  2. Leadership begins with self.

  3. Self-awareness is essential to effective leadership.

These principles guide my coaching practice and the way I support clients in becoming more intentional leaders of their own lives.

“We do not learn from experience...we learn from reflecting on experience.”
— John Dewey, American philosopher and educator.

Insight to Ignite

I partner with clients to help them get clear on their strengths, values, and the patterns that shape how they show up at work, in relationships, and in life. I believe the more insight we have into the qualities and experiences that define who we are, the more intentional and effective we are leading ourselves and others. I hold space for my clients to hit the pause button, reflect on their actions, get curious, and learn from their experiences instead of just pushing through them.
