What People are Saying
I booked Carol to speak at a large nursing conference in London. She was an absolute joy to work with on the organising side. She was full of ideas of how to add value to our audience. She burst on stage and was so energetic and dynamic everyone went home full of enthusiasm. Just what we needed at a very difficult time for nursing. She gave prizes of One:One Sessions with her to audience members and even ran a special session after the conference for us organisers!

Carol‘s session on “Personal Branding“ was absolutely inspiring at our International Women’s Day Conference! With the right balance of wit and professionalism she formed an instant connection with the audience and provided valuable tools to improve your personal brand. She really woke us all up to the real-world value of Personal Branding. The whole event was a huge success for the Women@ Team of Horizon Therapeutics plc with positive feedback all around.

I booked Carol to speak at an international conference on Female Leadership. She was incredible to work with and couldn’t do enough to help us get the presentation absolutely right for our audience. Everything was done ahead of time, with no stress and a lot of good humour. She made my job incredibly easy and made me look so good in the eyes of my corporate clients! We got amazing feedback from the attendees and I know she has been booked by several of those attendees for their own conferences!
Jackie M – Diversity & Inclusion
Was so impressed by Carol’s talk on LinkedIn to Success at the Amplify Digital Conference. Such an eloquent, knowledgeable speaker and a really interesting, immediately useful talk. I could see the whole room suddenly sit up, take notice and start taking notes! She’s been quoted non stop ever since on Twitter. Dying to book in now for a one to one workshop session. Never knew LinkedIn could be so powerful I’m returning to work energised and motivated! Thank you Carol.
