Client Successes

I knew and worked closely with Lois Carson for 8 years when I was Chief Food Innovation Officer at Taco Bell… I have seen the results that Lois can achieve as she works with people as a personal development coach. I highly recommend that you consider Lois as a coach to improve your development and success.

Working with Lois was one of the most valuable developmental experiences I have had the opportunity to participate in, not only professionally but personally. Over the 12 months that we spent together, her coaching helped me to strengthen my leadership skills which have significantly improved, specifically with ability to make tough decisions and have difficult conversations with my direct reports, boss, and leadership. She improved my skill set by holding me accountable to my feelings and my actions that stemmed from my attitude and my perception on the situation at hand. She helped me to uncover these opportunity areas. With the acknowledgements of these opportunities, I am able to move forward and grow into the person and the leader I want to be.

Lois Carson is my coach and she is incredible! When I look back at my successes such as a well-defined and supported vision, increased funding and partners, increased programs in Mexico and increased staff, I can see conversations and meetings I had with Lois behind each one.

Lois was an excellent support to me in a very precarious time in my start-up nonprofit foundation. She allowed me to build an effective long-term strategy. Lois is compassionate, patient, and a great source for management resources. I am grateful for wise council.

I had the pleasure of working with Lois Carson as an Executive Coach for over six years. During this time, with her coaching, I moved from middle management to upper management in the non-profit arena.
Lois brought a lot of experience and tools to the coaching relationship. She challenged me to look deep into myself to understand what skills I needed to enhance or develop. With her guidance I was able to increase my skills in the areas of leadership, staff management, and strategic planning. I also developed a vision for my future, both personally and professionally. This vision plan assisted me in making long and short term goals, as well as, informed and wise decisions.
It was a wonderful experience working with Lois and I cannot thank her enough for the time and skills she gave me.
