Meet The Coach

Carrie Tkaczyk

Dear Potential Client,

The James Baldwin quotation at the top of this page is the heart of my coaching stance: to guide you to identify and face your fears and strengths so that you can remove barriers to success

It is my greatest honor to be along side you as you engage in this sort of transformative coaching experience. In some ways, I’m a traditionalist in that I believe deeply in the ICF Coaching model that honors the innate wisdom of the person who comes to coaching. So much of what I do is deeply listen to you! In other ways, I am unique. My coaching stance rests on four pillars of experience, study, and philosophy. Each of these pillars represents my core values and strengths. The combination of all four is distinct to me. It doesn’t matter if you are new to coaching or have had lot’s of experience, I’m equipped to partner with you.

Scan the 4 Pillars of my coaching stance. Poke around my services. I offer individual or team coaching. You can sign up to attend future workshops or listen to past ones. You can also explore my Mindful Meditation talks. Reach out today for a free consultation.

Warmly,

Carrie (*she/her) *What are pronouns and why do they matter?

“Carrie-Ann has many gifts as a deep listener and keen thinker: compassion, humor, a deep skill set, and sincere calmness. Still, my favorite gift from Carrie-Ann is her stunning, clear questioning that open my inquiry, discovery, and wonder. After working with Carrie-Ann for almost a decade, I know in even short conversations, she will gift me with a beautiful question that I can ponder and grow from.” - Joan, Internal Coaching Supervisor
