I've just finishing listening to an excellent session on Imposter Syndrome delivered by the amazing Carol Martin. This programme forms part of the Sage Early Careers development programme. These were just some of the great comments we received: - Very useful session with a lot of knowledge that I can take forward with me - It was very reassuring to hear other people's experiences and realising I'm not the only person experiencing these feelings - I found it really helpful to listen and speak with the others on the call. I liked how interactive it was and Carol was really supportive and kind to us all. It was helpful to know that other colleagues felt the same. - Carol was really engaging and made a safe environment to share our vulnerabilities Thanks to Carole Stevenson (Cybele) for helping to facitliate this training for Sage.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Carol on a challenging project in the US and I can confidently say that she is an invaluable asset to any organisation wishing to build its’ leadership capability. Carol is tenacious, extremely capable, and possesses a keen strategic mind. Her energy and curiosity are infectious, always driving towards a successful outcome, even in the face of complex challenges. One of Carol's greatest strengths is her intuitive understanding of people. She quickly establishes trust and builds strong relationships, making her an effective leader and collaborator. Her ability to engage and inspire others is what sets her apart. Carol's professionalism, strategic thinking, and people skills make her an exceptional individual to partner with on any leadership or people development programme. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any project or initiative. It was a pleasure working with Carol, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again in the future.

Time spent with Cameron Rees is time well spent! I was lucky enough to start my professional L&D journey with Carol…her unwavering passion drove me to carve out a career in the L&D world. It’s not only her extensive knowledge and experience that stands Carol out from others but her relatable, authentic, and enthusiastic approach. Definitely add Carol to your preferred provider list if you have not already done so Becca Philby - Senior Learning Consultant   |   January 2024  |   Sussex

I really enjoyed all the speakers and loved Carol's session! I came away feeling so much better about life, uplifted and positive about being stronger in my role. I went back to my desk and immediately put in place some of the things Carol recommended, pushing back where I normally wouldn't have done and, you know what, it worked!

Happy International Women's Day! A truly authentic example of someone who inspires inclusion! Victoria Head - Director Archus   |   March 2024  |   Somerset

How best to describe Carol? Authentic, positive, honest, passionate, expert, and an absolute force of nature. Without doubt one of the outstanding individuals I worked with during my time at Equiniti. I've witnessed her get the best out of my team, and have been fortunate myself to have benefitted from one of her development programmes. I'm certainly a better person for it. Whether it's in the context of creating and delivering training programmes, Executive development, or people management, I have witnessed her turn good people into great ones and she's converted even the biggest sceptics into believers (I know, because I was one of them). Her approach is disarming, challenging, insightful, and occasionally uncomfortable but she unquestionably gets results. She is a credit to herself and the companies she represents. Quite frankly, if I was in a position to hire, Carol would be right at the top of my list. Duncan Stevens - CEO Gretel   |   June 2021  |   UK

Thoroughly enjoyed the sessions with you. I'm sure you know already and don't need me to say it but you have a gift for engaging people in this way! I hope we cross paths again in the future. Senior Consultant   |   11 Jan 2024  |   Bristol

OK, you got me - I thought I'd hate this but it was really good! I don't like training - I thought you would come here and tell me what to do but you listened, you made sense and it was really interesting. Thanks Thames Organisation   |   November 2023  |   London

Carol impressively balances compassion with respect for her audience. I didn't feel talked down to, nor talked over, at any point. As a result, I was fully engaged and am feeling motivated, thanks! NHS Manager   |   Sept 2023  |   Sussex

I found this workshop challenged my mind and inspired me Loved the workshop. Found very applicable to me and my current circumstances. Feel better about myself and much more empowered - so pleased I attended, huge thank you. Great workshop - really got me thinking. Great content and so well presented. I loved the control you had over the group, none of those long spaces waiting for the audience to fill. It was very interesting - thank you. Participant responses   |   Sept 2023  |   Sussex

Carol is one of life's lovely people who are just wonderful to be around. Positive, energetic and frankly brilliant at what she does. A real people person. She has an innate talent to bring out the best in everyone - both individuals and teams. She's seriously passionate about what she does which makes her incredibly engaging; no doubt part of the secret sauce to her success! That and a pin sharp business mind ... I would thoroughly recommend Carol - she'll smash it and do so with a big smile on her face! Sarah Jackson - Senior Leader   |   March 2022  |   London

Carol is one of life's fantastic communicators and we certainly could rely on her to assist in a variety of different guises - all in the name on internal communication. From Webinars and in person events, to hosting our annual Award ceremony online during the pandemic, Carol has an unflappable nature that sees her calmly carrying on whatever the circumstance, with a smile on her face and enthusiasm and encouragement in her voice. Thank you Carol. Louise Norman   |   March 2022  |   London

I have appreciated the opportunity to work with you as you have brought great professional insights and energy to our business. Thank you for your support and I wish you all of the best for wherever the next venture may take you! Todd May - CEO EQ   |   2022  |   Minnesota, US

Carol is a consummate professional, whom I have used to deliver team building / role reinforcement and change management programmes across my organisation. She delivered well thought out, researched and planned programmes which supported the desired outcomes. She utilised a range of delivery techniques which were appropriate for the group and which drew upon recognised and supporting management development theory and practice. Her experience in the field was clear and came into play in her delivery also. She is highly recommended and we will work with her further to sustain the seeds that she has sown in the minds of our people here. Steve Winter - Operations Director   |   November 2021  |   UK

I worked with Carol when I was at Equiniti. She was enthusiastic, pragmatic, a true problem solver who'd just get on with things. She's also imaginative and a true people person, which is more rare within HR teams than it should be. She was also a joy to be around. What is not to like indeed. Enrique Sacau   |   June 2021  |   Group CEO at Kneip

The first thing that strikes you about Carol is her ability to achieve an instant rapport with those she works with - whatever their seniority and individual style. Boasting an array of contacts that she has built and nurtured down the years; networking for Carol is as natural as breathing and she has probably, single-handedly, lowered the famous "six degrees of separation" to around one or two degrees for those of us lucky enough to be in her circle! Next her style is amply backed by substance - a keen business mind, an eye for detail, a wealth of experience across several different industries and immensely proactive; once she has formulated a plan rest assured, it will be done. David Soloman   |   April 2018  |   Salisbury

Carol is without doubt a guru in her field. Her energy, enthusiasm and passion for what she does is obvious to anyone that has the pleasure of meeting and working with her. She also has an amazing ability to adapt and relate to any audience and positivley manage a wide range of stakeholders. Carolyn Mountifield - HR Specialist   |   April 2022  |   London

Carol - you were truly fabulous today! Absolutely brilliant - thank you! Women's Network Member   |   March 2024  |   Worthing

I will continue using Carol and Cameron Rees for all of my training and coaching projects. She has an excellent way of understanding the objective, creating a bespoke plan and executing it with the most engaging approach. If you've not used Carol and the team before, I'd recommend you do!
