Here is what clients are saying about Carrie Arnold:

Carrie pushes my thinking in a safe and supportive way. We have worked on specific problems of practice as well as broader leadership goals. She is amazing at finding resources and professional readings that extend my thinking. As a result of the coaching, I am very thoughtful about how I respond/react during times that are stressful or work against my values. I know when I might start to shut down and instead I stay in the game. I am bolder and try to put my truth on the table. I have a much clearer understanding about my potential career path and my strengths. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am a better leader because of you.

- Denver Public Schools District Leader

Carrie served as my coach and working with her helped open me up to new ideas about how I could better lead my department and conversations I needed to facilitate. She provided a safe and effective space for me to expand my skills and try new ideas.  I feel I’m better positioned to lead as a result of working with her.

- Health Care Leader

Carrie facilitates with a grace and authenticity that is difficult to find in consultants.  She knows exactly what outcomes the group wants (and probably needs but perhaps doesn't want), and guides them there with a skill that allows them to learn for themselves.  As a consultant partner working with her, she is on her own continuous learning path that makes collaborating with her full of growth and impact both for me and the clients.

- Denver Leadership Consultant

Carrie served as my coach during a difficult time of change that was a result of a merger with another company.  My job duties changed and the coaching sessions helped me to focus on my strengths and what I really wanted to do.  Carrie was always available to me.  She helped me stay focused and talk about the things I could contribute.  She is a very compassionate person and she keeps it real, not telling you what you want to hear but what you need to hear.  I would definitely recommend her as a coach to others.

- Human Resources Professional  ​

Carrie has been accessible, informative and supportive.  She is caring and sensitive. She should be recognized for demonstrating the service behaviors that this organization supports especially in the areas of communicating effectively, acting respectfully and projecting a professional image.

- Health Care Leader

Carrie has served as a coach to several leaders and her honest and forthright style has been appreciated and valued by all.  She has strong assessment and coaching skills.

- Denver Executive

Because of Carrie’s coaching I was able to make it through a series of interviews and remain clear and grounded the entire time! Her coaching and ideas were exactly what I needed! I am certain, had I gone into those interviews without her coaching, I wouldn’t have done well at all. I feel very lucky to have her support as a coach!

- Health Care Leader

Carrie, you are a delight to be around and a gift to our organization. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.  You role model learn and serve and you have great skill in tying everything together.

Thank you Carrie for believing in me and helping me to regain my belief in myself. It feels so good to be able to do what I love so much. I will always smile when I think of you.
