Testimonials About Carolyn And Her Work
It is the greatest possible praise to be praised by a man who is himself deserving of praise. –Latin proverb
New Chapter Coaching is pleased to present the following testimonials from experienced leaders across the country.
“Carolyn invites you to share your most challenging problems, your most complicated thoughts and feelings. By asking questions, sorting and gentle prodding Carolyn helps you identify both the underlying issues and the overriding priorities. With sensitivity to our multiple levels of needs and wants, Carolyn provides suggestions not “shoulds” ….and offers a way to reframe our issues not judge them. Working with her as my long-distance coach for two years, I can highly recommend her talents and skills doing this work!” - Michele Stranger-Hunter, Executive Director, Portland, OR
“Carolyn Sullivan is one of the smartest and most strategic people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She inspires confidence and has a knack for getting things done. Her sense of humor, reliability and smarts provide the perfect combination for an effective partner and a go-to person when it really counts.” - Debra Erenberg, Organizing Director, San Francisco, CA
“With a razor-sharp intellect and a generous sense of humor, anyone would be lucky to have the opportunity to work with Carolyn. I can’t think of a better asset to have on your team than her.” - Sara Cleveland, Executive Director, Austin, TX
“Carolyn has a tremendous vision for improving processes (e.g., decision-making, communication) and outcomes (e.g., effectiveness, quality of life) to help individuals and organizations work through transitions. …Most importantly, her passion for her work is directly reflected in her commitment to inspiring others to create and sustain positive change.” - Laura Brennan, CEO & President, St. Louis, MO

Comments from Participants in Inaugural Nonprofit Executive Roundtable
” I value the time spent with Carolyn Sullivan in the Executive Roundtable discussions. This environment allowed non for profit managers to share ideas and concepts that work to streamline the problem solving process. I found it particularly valuable as a NEW Executive Director. Having the opportunity to gain insight from more experienced managers allowed me to be more time efficient and think outside the box. This experience is time and money well spent that you cannot get any where else. I am also encouraged by their support and friendships that will last long after these meetings!” - Valorie Livingston, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Club of the Columbia Area, Columbia, MO.
“As a brand new executive director, I didn’t even know what I didn’t know! Through the roundtable, I found the best resource: other executive directors. We all say that we will take the time to find a mentor or learn something from another director, but it never happens. Why? Time! The roundtable gave me a focused opportunity to learn form my peers. At the same time, I got to know them on a much deeper level and built a trust that would have taken considerably longer. I trust the other directors in ways I would have never before. I know they speak with insight, experience, and diligence. I will not worry about what they think of me when I ask what I think is a “dumb” question, because now I know we have all been there!” - Jessica Macy, Executive Director, Boone County Council on Aging, Columbia, MO.
