Client Issue:
Not achieving sales goals.

CCBCC's on-premise sales team had too many tasks pulling them in different directions. They were working long hours and still not meeting their sales goals.

Results:

  • 20% increase in the number of sales calls per week versus prior year
  • $2 million in additional potential revenue
  • Sales representatives said "I am getting more done. I make more sales calls per day. I am feeling more organized and I am less stressed."
  • Managers said, "My team is averaging over 48 calls per week and I am no longer getting emails at all hours of the night."

Client Issue:
Reignite their leadership
development program

As a global construction firm, Lend Lease was significantly impacted by the economic downturn. As the market begins to rebound, Lend Lease is committed to developing their talent and has reignited its leadership development program.

Natural Gifts 

Order, structure and simplicity are the mainstays of both my professional and personal life. Professionally, order, structure and simplicity are what I partner with my clients and client organizations to create in their lives and in their workflow processes. Personally, order, structure and simplicity give me the freedom to be the wife, mom, sister, daughter and friend that I want to be.

Reputation 

Carson is a gifted consultant and instructor. She is determined, driven and works as hard if not harder than her clients to ensure that the project goals are achieved. She actively engages with her clients and firmly believes that they are capable of realizing their goals. Carson goes directly to the heart of the problem and will not be distracted until the project is successfully completed.

Essence 

Focused.

Vision 

Simplicity. I think that the people in the world need to find their own simplicity - simplicity of self, simplicity in purpose, a simple way of living. A simplicity free of preconceived notions of what work, relationships and parenting "must" be and focused on the precious present and future.

Inspiring others to accomplish what may seem impossible " to them. I have a natural tendency to see the big picture and activate others into their dreams. When I learned about coaching as a profession, I knew it was for me. Now, I integrate coaching and behavior change insights into everything " from professional projects to parenting.

Reputation 

"Jeannie is creative and innovative in her approach to program design and problem solving. She is constantly connecting the dots to see a bigger picture and imagine the possibilities. She is also a realist. In spite of her big imagination, she has the ability maximize resources and work within boundaries to bring ideas to life."

Essence 

Possibilities.

Vision 

My dream for our future is purpose. Time wasters are all around us. The average person watches 5 hours of television a day. Imagine what could be accomplished in 5 hours a day? I'm not sure anyone plans to watch 5 hours of television a day. It just happens.
