Caroline’s bespoke coaching was a pivotal force in both my personal and professional journey over the past 15 years. Within the first 15 minutes of our scheduled (in person) meeting, I felt encouraged and confident that I could take on a task that once seemed so far ahead. She is professional yet warm, patient, and friendly, and listened whilst I shared my concerns
LI
Lisa E - Entrepreneur (Food industry)
Caroline clearly believed in my potential and capabilities - she not only enabled me to forge a path forward, but also to break down perceived barriers to success. Without the clarity of her coaching style and flexibility of approach, I know that I would not have got to where I am today.
PV
Prof CP –University Deputy VC
Caroline's ability to listen deeply and provide insightful, thoughtful advice has made her someone I could always depend upon - Whether it was talking to her about personal struggles, balancing life with study, or later, the complexities of starting my own business, Caroline has always been there to listen, sharing her wisdom and perspective on any issues I wanted to discuss, and simply offering a listening ear when I needed it most. Her unwavering faith in my potential and her special ability to offer clarity in moments of uncertainty has been pivotal in helping me overcome the challenges I've faced.

Fathima M – CEO Business owner
Dr Caroline Bligh was hugely instrumental as my coach and mentor. She had the ability to tailor coaching and support to my needs and circumstances, and she was an enabler, enabling and equipping me to find solutions to potential problems and challenges. She was always very accessible and approachable and could help me see the light at the end of the tunnel and offer advice, and just as importantly, how to get there. I could not recommend Caroline more highly

Dr Fawziya - Educational Consultant
From my early days as an immigrant student in the UK, navigating the challenges that come with academia, to the completion of my Master's and PhD, Caroline’s mentoring style has been a constant source of unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement. Her belief in me, coupled with her gentle persuasion, has been instrumental in shaping my growth as an international student.

Liz M. – Entrepreneur- Business Owner
Not only did Caroline (as my mentor) give me so much wonderful advice from her years of experience, she also was extremely supportive through some of the difficulties I experienced along the way. Caroline was always supportive and provided me with a listening ear. She helped me believe in myself even when I was ready to give up and with Caroline's support, I went on to complete my degree.

Thank you so much Caroline, for instilling confidence in me and believing that I was capable of achieving my goals! Even when I doubted my ability to reach my full potential, she took it upon herself to guide me, and made herself readily available to answer any questions I had. Throughout, Caroline provided clear explanations and thoughtful guidance that helped me understand complex concepts.
