Success Story Series: Carol

Updated: Dec 1, 2025

Rising Strong: Carol’s Story 🌟


Meet Carol.


She was a hardworking professional, climbing the ladder of success in the corporate world. She was also a wife, a mom, and a daughter—with an equally busy home life. Sound familiar? See a pattern forming here?


Then, one day, everything changed.


Despite being highly rated, sought after, and reassured by her leader that she was “safe,” her job was unexpectedly eliminated. She was devastated—hurt, stunned, and angry. All the feelings came rushing in.


What We Did Together 🌱


When Carol and I began coaching, we focused on several key areas:


Passions & Talents – We uncovered what truly lit her up and where her natural gifts could shine.


Confidence – We worked on rebuilding her belief in herself after such a painful loss.


Facts vs. Thoughts – We separated what actually happened from the painful stories her mind was telling her.


Slowing Down – We gave her space to process, breathe, and make her next choices with intention rather than fear.


Career Growth Inventory – We took stock of her strengths, experiences, and accomplishments to see the full picture of her value.


Leveraging Relationships – We used her network thoughtfully to open new doors and gain perspective.


Strategic Thinking About Her Future – We shifted her focus from “what I lost” to “what’s next,” planning her steps with clarity and purpose.


One breakthrough moment came when Carol was asked to re-apply for the very job she had been let go from. At the same time, she was interviewing for a new role. Through our work, she realized the truth: she didn’t actually want her old job back. She wanted to step forward into something bigger.


Where She Is Now 🌟


Today, Carol is thriving in her new role as Chief of Staff. She travels as a member of the C-suite. Her family has stepped up to support her. She feels proud, excited, and ready for even more growth.


She is a new woman—with confidence, purpose, and possibilities ahead. Carol’s story is a powerful reminder: even when life pulls the rug out from under us, we have the ability to rise stronger, clearer, and more aligned with who we are meant to be.


Embracing Change


Change can be daunting. It often feels like stepping into the unknown. But remember, every ending is a new beginning. Embracing change allows us to discover new opportunities. It can lead us to paths we never imagined.


When faced with a career shift, it’s essential to reflect on your strengths. What skills do you possess? What experiences have shaped you? Recognizing your value is the first step toward moving forward.


The Power of Support


You don’t have to navigate these changes alone. Seeking support can make all the difference. Whether through coaching, mentorship, or simply talking with friends, having a support system is vital. It provides encouragement and perspective during challenging times.


If you’ve faced a significant life or career shift, remember that you are not alone. Let’s explore how coaching can help you rise strong. Together, we can unlock your potential and guide you toward sustainable growth.
