Carol Gabanna

Welcome to coaching!  I know you will find the coaching experience a valuable support to your learning and development as a leader.  I love coaching – it is an amazing process to be part of – to see people, like you, having incredible insights that lead to extraordinary results.  I have worked with senior executives to help them plot their career path and make career choices; managers who wanted to prepare for difficult employee conversations; business owners who needed to work on time management and future business planning, and CEOs to develop their leadership competencies.  I feel privileged every time I sit down with someone to listen as they work their way towards their desired future.

To my coaching practice, I bring my thirty years in the public, not for profit and private sectors as employee, manager, CEO, senior executive and consultant.  I now work as a management and governance consultant and executive coach with HR Associates (HRA), a human resource consulting firm in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  My wide experiences in and with organizations have given me a great perspective on how the organizations work, the challenges of managing staff, the excitement and pain of implementing change and the satisfaction of making a difference.

What makes me unique as a coach?

  • I have a genuine interest and belief in each person which allows me to quickly connect with clients and ask provocative questions that reveal creativity in them; 
  • I am energized by other’s success. I recognize people’s strengths, and encourage and build on those;  
  • I hold the space for my clients. I listen deeply and I create a container for my client to reflect and create; 
  • I bring my love of metaphor and story and use them as tools for supporting my client in deepening their understanding of their situation; 
  • I am able to focus only on you and your success; I offer total compassion that neither judges nor evaluates.

My clients say:

Coaching with Carol is like being in a container – she gives me time to think, brings me back and connects me with my goals.

In the end I know the time I spent with you on the coaching call was the most profound professional experience I have ever had
