Customer Testimonials

Lead Self is focused on results and has had the distinct pleasure of helping clients in a variety of industries overcome the issues that slowed and sometimes prevented outright success. Here’s what some of them had to say about us:

Alison McFadden
MD - Continu
Caroline has been working with me as my corporate coach for some time and has the rare ability to understand the business environment and offer sound intelligent advice in that context whilst enabling me to uncover my deep personal purpose and drive. Working with a personal coach is of critical importance to any scaling business leader and Caroline adds tremendous value to my personal and business growth. I would highly recommend working with Caroline.
Clare Patterson
Founder - Reason Why
As a small business owner, I started working with working with Caroline over the past 6 months and to say that it has been life-changing is an understatement. One of the key areas that Caroline focused on was around purpose. Knowing my true purpose in life and in business has changed me immeasurably. Fears which led to procrastination have evaporated and I have a renewed sense of contentment and excitement about what I do. I have worked with mentors in the past but none have had quite the impact that Caroline has had on my life and subsequently my business. I am invigorated, content, happy and excited about the future and this is down to Caroline and the process that she took me
through. All I can say is a big thank you Caroline!!
Eoghan McErlean
Head of Connections - Simple Scaling Ltd
Caroline’s coaching programme was amazing. We defined clear coaching objectives together from the offset and I am proud to say we achieved all of those and more. Caroline is extremely professional/knowledgeable blended with a humbleness and warmth, making everything feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Caroline for anyone eager to do some inner work – help define your purpose, deal with your inner-voice and understand mental barriers to you achieving success (whatever that looks like).
PS… be prepared – Caroline digs deep into your Pyche, so buckle in =)
Clare Vallely
MD - Kukoon Rugs
Caroline is an exceptionally talented coach, getting the best out of people even when they themselves are the obstacle! Like everything, you only get out what you put in but Caroline will help you to achieve the best out of your sessions and push you when needed.
Conor Patton
Director - Cubo
We have a successful, mature Sales Team and before I met with Caroline I doubted the impact she could have over 6 sessions. 20 mins after meeting her I trusted her to deliver what she promised and true to her word, every one of our team benefited greatly from her coaching. I thought my busy schedule and little contact with Caroline meant the process would be a waste of time – it was the complete opposite. Caroline built a bespoke program per person, scheduled all the meetings and kept me up to date with progress throughout. If you want to deliver real value to your team’s lives while focusing on improving their contribution to your company, you have to meet Caroline. I look forward to working with her again and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Martin Doyle
Supply Chain Manager - CDE Global
I had the pleasure of working with Caroline during our mutual time together in CDE Global Ltd. Caroline evolved into her coaching role there and we all certainly benefited from her expertise and knowledge in developing ourselves during this time. Caroline’s coaching certainly left an indelible mark on me, and the knowledge gained has subsequently helped me to enrich my own career path. I would encourage anyone to get involved in Caroline’s coaching programme and fully endorse her proven practices.
Thank you Caroline !
Dogan Ozel
Business Development Manager - CDE Global
Caroline has a unique skill on coaching. She is like a talented pianist who touches the ivories and creates music with your own character. If you want to develop your skills, overcome the challenges of professional life then she might be the one who could help you the best.
Ciara McCann
Head of Project Costing - Kiverco
Caroline is an excellent coach. I met her at a time when professional i was unsure of myself and couldn’t see any way forward. Caroline asked the tough questions that I was avoiding by asking myself. She has a great way of framing the questions that in doing so challenged my thinking and during the process it became clear that i had the skill set and knowledge to draw conclusions and make changes on my own terms. Caroline is extremely supportive and shared her experience in this field. I’m fortunate to have had the time I did with her, and I will always recommend Caroline to any company interested in working with her.
Julian Fegan
Business Development Manager - Kiverco
Excellent mentoring coach with a fantastic ability to understand her clients and tease out the required information without added pressure – would highly recommend Caroline, without a shadow of doubt.
Barry Heron
MD - Atrom
I have recently engaged with Caroline for some coaching, and I really wish I had done so sooner. I didn’t know what to expect from the sessions, but we established some clear objectives at the start, met and over achieved on these. I truly feel that I got way more from the experience than I could ever have hoped for. Insightful, knowledgeable, professional, warm and human, I have zero hesitation in recommending Caroline.
Especially to those business leaders who strive to be their best possible and most
successful selves. My world is a much better place with Caroline in it.
Martin Tierney
Director - Seating Matters
Caroline is a great asset to the management of any company, having worked with several people in the Seating Matters team to help us achieve our vivid vision and growth goals.
Suzanne Sherry
Operations Manager - Continu
Caroline’s coaching sessions have been life changing for me. She has helped me with clarification on what I want to achieve in my career, why I want to achieve it and also to deeply understand my purpose. The sessions have helped me to build confidence and allowed me to overcome mental blocks that I didn't even realise were holding me back. There were plenty of laughs and even some tears along the way. Thanks for everything, Caroline!
Mark Hutchinson CDir
CEO - Hutchinson
I would highly recommend Caroline from Lead Self for 1:1 coaching and development. I have gone through a coaching programme consisting of six sessions with Caroline and have found them very useful from both a business and a personal perspective. Caroline has a natural passion for coaching and uses this along with her experience and knowledge to tailor the sessions to the individual needs of the client. Caroline has a high level of emotional intelligence, allowing her to assess the client and quickly get to the root cause of any issues. It was a pleasure to work with Caroline and I would have no hesitation in recommending Lead Self Coaching.

Rosemarie Griffin
Associate Director - WSP UK
Having come across a post advertising Caroline’s course, I was at a low point and
decided to invest in myself. It was easily the best decision I’ve ever made. Since
completing the course, I have learned to believe in myself and trust in my abilities. I can now say that I start each day with a smile on my face and look forward to work. I changed company and am happy to say that my career is going from strength to strength. I’d fully recommend and endorse CarolIne for helping me to find myself again and reignite the belief in me!
Andrew Dunbar
Head of Operations - CDE Global
I had the pleasure of taking part in Caroline’s coaching programme over a 6 month period. Carolines programme explored both my personal and professional mindset and really got deep into areas that were holding me back. At the end of the coaching programme I was a lot more aware of my strengths and ability which has boosted my confidence and allowed me to better engage with business challenges. I highly recommend Caroline’s programme to anyone that is looking to develop themselves or members of their team.
Philippe Joffrey
Head of Supply Chain - CDE Global
I had the privilege to get to know Caroline as part of a six-month coaching initiative. Caroline proved invaluable in helping me overcome the initial challenges faced in my new assignment. The feedback she provided me with, and self-exploration process she coached me through, not only helped me emotionally engage with the business, but also improved my self-awareness and confidence. I have no hesitation in recommending Caroline’s expertise and passion to any executive leader seeking to develop themselves, or their leadership team.
Ken Murphy
Business Development Executive - Cubo
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Caroline over a six month period and found the 1:1 coaching extremely beneficial in removing barriers and developing new perspectives in my professional and personal development. Each session was thought provoking and challenged me to take a different approach to scenarios, resulting in increased confidence and trust in my ability. I would highly recommend Caroline and Lead Self Coaching; Development to anyone that wants to make a positive change to their mindset.
