EXECUTIVE COACH · BOARD SPARRING PARTNER · THE MAVERICK MAKER®
I’m here
for the bold ones.
Executive coaching for senior leaders, experts and specialists. Especially those navigating the limits of expertise.
AI is removing much of the scaffolding leaders have been leaning on: information advantage, expertise-as-scarcity and the illusion that certainty equals competence.
I work with you to build what comes next.
CLARITY UNDER COMPLEXITY.
COURAGE WITHOUT CERTAINTY.
AGENCY THAT MOVES THINGS FORWARD.
ORGANISATIONS CAROL HAS WORKED WITH
THE GENERALIST IN ROOMS FULL OF SPECIALISTS
I’ve led where I wasn’t the expert.
Never rode a motorbike, but led the TT Races. Not a mechanic, but turned around Halfords Autocentres.
I’ve spent four decades proving you do not need to be the technical expert to lead technical excellence.
Now, as AI reshapes what expertise means, I work alongside leaders navigating that same shift.
