Read full story from Taylor

Carly and Clare are the best! I worked with Clare specifically for college major decisions and career guidance. I learned so much about myself and gained very helpful direction for my educational career, as well as future work. Clare worked with me to find careers that aligned to my values and interests. This encouraged me to change my major and it was an incredible change for me.

I absolutely would encourage anyone to try this out!!

Clare was a great resource and support system when I was trying to figure out my next career steps. I was not feeling fulfilled in my previous career and wasn't sure where to start to take steps towards a career change. Claire helped me feel empowered to make the change I needed to. I feel that I received value in the sessions I had and would recommend these services to anyone seeking a career change or any assistance in their current career.

Clare used the time I had with her to overhaul my resume completely. I appreciated her detailed explanation of the changes she believed would result in finding my next position. I am now well on my way to finding my next dream job. The session was well worth the expense.

“… she gave me tools that I will use for the rest of my career.”

Read full story from Haley D.

When I first started working with Clare, I was seeking help with the job search process, specifically with interviewing and networking. I knew I wanted to find a new job but was overwhelmed by the plethora of career blogs I had read all with differing opinions. During my first session with Clare, we put together a plan that worked with my schedule and I felt an immediate sense of relief.

We had crafted email templates that I could use for networking that I will keep forever. After spending a few sessions feeling confident in the career I wanted to pursue, I started to second guess myself. I couldn't tell if it was my current work environment that was making me feel this way or if I truly wanted to switch career paths. Plus I had done SO many interviews but was never getting an offer.

I told Clare this in our next session in tears. I felt like I had wasted so much time and money and was so frustrated with myself. Once again, Clare came to the rescue and we spent the session crafting a plan. She made me feel seen and heard, and helped me get back on track. Fast forward, I got a job offer unexpectedly. I was so excited about the opportunity and was ready to negotiate the salary offer.

On the call, I got nervous and provided a range for the salary with the low end less than I would accept. Of course they came back offering the low end. At that point, I did not know what to do because I knew I deserved more, but did not think I could renegotiate. I emailed Clare and told her the situation and asked if she could jump on the phone for 15 minutes the next day to come up with a plan.

Her schedule was full but she made time for me. I was able to get a higher salary and could not have prepared for that conversation without her support. In summary, I could not recommend Clare more. Not only did she help me secure a new job, she gave me tools that I will use for the rest of my career.

Executive Function Coaching

Students and families share their experiences with organization, follow-through, confidence, and independence.

Google review

“… Through this process, I have learned so much about myself and how I work as a student.”

Read full story from Sawyer — College Student

Executive Function Coaching with Carly has been so successful. Carly supported me to handle situations of stress and pressure and helped to lower my barrier to entry for my papers and tests. Through this process, I have learned so much about myself and how I work as a student. It was so helpful to be able to think ahead at my week and have things on my radar, rather than being shocked when assignments were due.

Carly encouraged me to advocate for myself when I was nervous to do so and I learned how open my Professors were to wanting to help me and to do well. I could not have passed my classes without you...thank you! :)

“… For the first time my daughter has been on top of her school work and succeeding in all her classes.”

Read full story from Regina B.

I can't say enough about the wonderful experience we've had so far with Carley, Shannon and their team. I knew I wanted something to help my daughter begin high school on the right foot. She has struggled with managing her time and school work effectively. Shannon has been nothing short of phenomenal in getting to know my daughter, her strengths and needs. For the first time my daughter has been on top of her school work and succeeding in all her classes.

She is much more confident and taking initiative with her school work. Shannon has been an integral part of her high school success and I'm thrilled to have found C & C Empowerment Coaching. I recommend them in the highest regard!

I'm so happy we started working with Carly and would absolutely recommend her!

Client testimonial

“… C&C presented extremely valuable information and useful tools in a very clear and individualized manner.”

Read full story from Somerville Department of Early Education and Care · City of Somerville

On behalf of the SPYC Team and our community partners... lt was a huge pleasure to host a C&C Empowerment Coaching workshop to support our cross-sector work in early education through the Somerville Partnership for Young Children and the Commonwealth Preschool Partnership Initiative. C&C presented extremely valuable information and useful tools in a very clear and individualized manner. The participants left with concrete understandings and tangible items to increase the value and productivity of their day-to-day work.

We really appreciate C&C's dedication and efforts to make their workshop content relevant to our niche specific audience. We look forward to future opportunities to work alongside such a powerful female duo! Thank you again!
