“Transitioning from HR into Coaching was a huge leap. To successfully transition, I needed someone to help me get over what I believed were my greatest obstacles.

Carla helped me move mountains! She holds a sacred and safe space allowing her clients to see what is REALLY getting in the way and has a direct and kind way of challenging those beliefs.

Carla has a way of reframing your own scattered thoughts into something that adds meaningful direction. She articulates and brings into focus what you’ve known but have either forgotten or haven’t allowed.

If you are looking for someone to help you pave a path incorporating your hopes, skills and experience, and integrating what you love most about yourself, look no further than Carla Grillo.”

“I am happy to recommend Carla Grillo as a uniquely effective Coach. Her compassionate presence, gentle encouragement, and incisive questioning guided me to look beneath the surface to identify a suppressed issue that was causing self-sabotage. One often thinks of coaching as being given advice, but Carla's approach is collaborative, not directive. She helps her clients to clarify underlying issues, identify their personal resources, and then use these insights for inspired problem resolution with measurable movement toward achieving goals. Carla gave me a fabulous coaching experience!”

“I highly recommend Carla Grillo as a coach. I find her approach to be highly supportive and motivational. She’s dedicated to helping me find ways to reach my goals using and developing my own strengths.

Carla is highly intuitive and creative. She also has a very good sense of boundaries. I always feel she’s really listening to me. She considers and accepts who I am as a person.

Carla also suggested a book that really resonated with my situation. I look forward to continuing our coaching work.”

“Carla gave me a thorough and very helpful coaching session. I was struggling with deciding what job opportunities I should accept or consider.

With Carla’s questions and statements, she helped walk me through making my decision. I determined which job offer I wanted to accept and now I am very happy at my new job!”

“I am the type of individual who is perceived by others as having it all together, organized, even machine-like in my execution of long-term plans and everyday tasks. As a single mother of three and a small business owner, I juggle a multitude of responsibilities and details, and sure, it all gets done but I did not realize how my mental space was decluttered and more ordered and clear vision was better actualized until after my intuitive coaching sessions with Carla.

Carla was like a surgeon, operating with precision and purpose. She would take my thoughts and shift through what was not important and helped me to really hone into the meat of my issues. Less time was spent on stray tangents and irrelevant mental chatter that often times sideline our goals and delay our action. In what seemed like a short amount of time that I normally would have spent mentally laboring over, we were able to accomplish a lot!

I was amazed at how Carla was focused, intuitively aware of my needs and the real important questions that stemmed from my block. She asked the right questions that led me to find the answers within. Her solid, carefully constructed approach to my issues revealed to me not only her skill in coaching but her desire to help me work through my mental obstacles so that I could flourish and accomplish my objectives with as little mental and emotional resistance as possible.

What is different about this style of caching from therapy is that each session outlines clear goals. There is a concrete, measurable outcome that can be achieved. Progress, not stagnation, is facilitated. I am eternally grateful for Carla and her intuitive style of coaching!”

In the Spring of 2022 I started working with Carla. I was looking for advice on how I could find real purpose in my professional career and ways for advancement. I was feeling limited and disempowered. During our session, she created space for me to express emotions and thoughts that I didn’t even know I had. This process enabled me to come up with ideas and actions to develop trust in my career path. In the first session, she told me “I wont give you any advise. I will provide you with the tools and space so you can come up with your own solutions”. And she delivered!

It is now March 2023 and I feel more confident and hopeful of what the future will bring. I have been able to navigate successfully the challenges of corporate banking. I recently got a promotion and I can say with optimism that 2022 was a year of a lot of challenges but I was able to overcome them. I acknowledge that these sessions with Carla were very important to help me identify opportunities in my career advancement. I continue using her tools and hope more people can take advantage of the gifts that she is ready to offer. THANK YOU Carla!!!
