Executive Coaching

Elevating Leadership & Artificial Intelligence

1:1 Coaching

I coach senior leaders and founders one-on-one. My coaching rests on adult developmental psychology and stages of consciousness, so I first work out how a leader currently sees and handles their sense of self, and in relation to others and the world around. Then coach with that clarity and understanding, rather than handing everyone the same advice.

My work focuses on helping top leaders:

  • Think and decide more strategically through ambiguity

  • Lead with clarity in times of complexity or crisis

  • Build emotionally intelligent, high-functioning teams

  • Navigate conflict and difficult conversations with presence

  • Operate from a deeper level of self-awareness and purpose

Coaching the Future

With a Ph.D. in Professional Coaching and Human Development, I bring a depth of knowledge and experience in the field of human potential, coupled with a core compassion for humanity to my coaching. I also have an interest in the direction and application of AI, which led me to utilize the co-created iConscious Human Development Model, which I and a team of scientists and engineers applied to the design of Sophia the Robot in the LovingAI project—infusing AI with developmental and emotional intelligence. But my deepest focus is on human leaders—people like you—who are shaping the future through their ways of being, making conscious, high impact decisions every day.

If you’re ready to lead with greater clarity, resilience, and impact—I’d love to connect.

Carole has been a trusted partner in my leadership development journey for more than four years. She has consistently challenged me to think and act differently, offered clarity in recognizing and navigating organizational dynamics, and, most importantly, provided invaluable guidance and insight that have strengthened both my personal and professional relationships. Her support has not only elevated my career but has also given me a deeper sense of fulfillment, balance, and clarity in how I approach leadership every day.

Working with Carole Griggs has transformed the way I lead and the way I see myself as a leader. She helped me overcome roadblocks, step into authenticity, and use my voice more effectively. As a result, I’ve been able to expand my impact and create environments where people feel empowered to do their best work and grow.

Carole’s guidance has been truly transformative. She helped me embrace the perspective that life happens for me, not to me — a shift that has profoundly influenced how I navigate both my professional and personal life. Her professionalism, clarity, and wisdom have been instrumental in building my confidence and resilience. I am deeply grateful to Carole for opening my eyes to this empowering outlook — one that will continue to shape my path for years to come.

I've worked with Carole over the past 2 years and she has been transformational on the way I engage in the workplace and beyond. I started engaging with Carole when I was a bit beaten up from my prior role and starting a new role in a new place -- she helped me identify what baggage I was carrying with me and work through how to show up in a better way. Over the course of engaging with Carole, I became more confident in my ability to engage a broad range of personality styles (in particular the very aggressive ones), I learned more about my own strengths and how to develop them, and improved my overall presence + awareness in a broad range of situations. In total, I feel much more like my true self and others have noticed it as well. Thanks so much Carole!

Working with Carole has been a gift. Her coaching has made a fundamental difference in how I show up as a leader and as a human.

Most coaching stops at surface-level tactics or career mechanics. Carole is a true full human performance coach. She works with the whole person, bringing a rare mix of warmth, curiosity, and steady candor that makes it safe to be completely honest with yourself about what is working and what isn't.

For me, the biggest shift has been learning to wield my consciousness more deliberately, especially when it comes to the experience of my team and the people around me. Carole has helped me step outside my own head and intent to really notice what others are experiencing in the room (particularly in the moments when it's hardest to slow down and see clearly). Just as importantly, she's helped me bridge the gap between having values and walking them in practice every day. Not just knowing what I stand for when things are easy, but staying rooted in who I am when the pressure is on, when feedback is tough, and when trust is on the line.

Carole is deeply thoughtful, generous with her presence, and genuinely invested in the people she coaches. If you have the chance to work with her, take it. I can't recommend her highly enough.
