About

As the founder of TransformAble, I am deeply committed to connecting and building community in our world — for me this means being active in the places where I live and work, sharing who I am and what I’m up to with others through coaching, consulting, facilitating and speaking to groups about the keys to transformation and change. Let's explore the possibilities together.

My Journey

For much of my life I’ve been living a habit — to look around, compare myself to others, find where I’m lacking (believe me there is no shortage of ways) and figure out the “right” way to fix myself. Does this habit sound familiar? If so, you may be experiencing what I have — that something is missing.
 
I had many if not all the things I was “supposed to have.” From the outside looking in, I had a wonderful life, yet I was still longing for something different, new and exciting; and, I didn’t know what “it” was. I was so busy trying to do the “right” things that I lost track of who I was and what I wanted.
 
Then, I hired a coach, started my own journey into self-awareness and realized that this longing was me missing my life. My “aha” moment came during a Radical Leadership® retreat; it was a simple and incredibly freeing realization — I get to choose my life! This shift in perspective changed nothing and transformed everything. I coach because I want to partner with you as you find your freedom and bridge the gap between where you are now and where you dream of being!

​"Every meeting felt like another opportunity for self-discovery. She helped me identify and address long-standing patterns in my thinking that were no longer functional (if they ever were!), enabling me to get clear and focused on how to design the kind of business and life that I wanted."

​"With Caroline’s support, I was able to dramatically improve my communication, reflect on my core values and create a clear vision for my career. After only six months of coaching, I am beaming to share that I landed my dream job (which I hadn’t previously known existed!) AND am earning almost double what I did in my former job."​

​"Caroline creates the space to allow the “magic” to happen. She is authentic, genuine, and honest. She introduced me to simple tools to apply in my professional and personal life, which I use every day to deal with stress and anxiety. Working with Caroline has changed my life."
