Success Stories

Caroline is an inclusive leader with a strong moral compass who collaboratively engages people across the end-to-end supply chain, willing to share her extensive knowledge and always gives equal time to people across all leadership levels, teams, boards, councils, and conferences.  She is a strong facilitator of business-to-business leadership engagement that deepens understanding about primary producers and their importance in producing sustainable food

Caroline’s unique ability to ignite passion and bring different perspectives together has completely transformed how our teams work together, breaking down those old silos, finally getting everyone on the same page, and creating spaces where even our quietest team members felt they could speak up, bringing out ideas we never knew existed.

Thanks to your six months of workshops, coaching, and hands-on consultancy approach, we’re making real progress on sustainability across our supply chains, with teams now actively pushing shared goals forward with our customers—the momentum you’ve helped us build is honestly inspiring and exciting!

Bringing a different perspective and drawing on Caroline’s retail and supply chain experience, was hugely valued, it made us all rethink our approach, and focus solely on the bigger picture.  Being able to hand the facilitation piece over to someone else, particularly during the workshop gave us much more thinking time.  Caroline was so knowledgeable and supported the whole workshop process. The whole experience was really beneficial and useful while also being enjoyable.

Working with Caroline I genuinely felt listened to and at ease, she helped me move from feeling overwhelmed to being more self-assured, confident, and able to take proactive and practical steps to build my resilience and support my career growth

Working with Caroline was transformative for our organisation. Her collaborative approach stood out — always keeping sight of our end users and thinking across the whole organisation. Unlike typical consultants, she brought authenticity, personal insight, and real connection. 

Her coaching and workshops were particularly powerful. Her quiet expertise never overwhelmed; instead, she listened first, understood deeply, and delivered exactly what we needed. Professional yet deeply human, Caroline made lasting impact in a way that felt supportive and genuine.

The preparation work was really enjoyable, it enabled us to drill down into the process and to really think about our client, and potentially in a slightly different way beyond the day-to-day, this challenged us to think about how we move the dial for our client, and how do we support them.  It was a really good experience

Caroline has nurtured and guided me to connect with my intuition, values, and mindset.  This has given me the self-belief, self-trust, and confidence to lead teams with my heart, to have the conviction to follow my values, which has supported me to drive meaningful business change, accelerate my career and to have a more fulfilling life

Thank you for deeply inspiring LEAF and those joining us for our annual conference, reminding us of how important it is to really feel and be connected to our natural world.  Concealed within our day-to-day determination to save the planet, we can often forget our humanness, fragility and the need for our own growth, relationships, and connections.

Through thoughtful and unique guidance, you reminded us of the power in pausing, to listen, reflect and improve.

Afterwards, I felt encouraged and empowered to share more honestly and feel more acutely and I believe if we all do the same, the changes we need to make will come naturally and impactfully

Right from the beginning Caroline’s ability to mobilised us and keep us engaged, by collaborating and communicating with everyone, so that we prioritised our actions, has been inspiring.  We’ve got things done and produced results.
