Real Results
Thrive has enabled me to take stock of where I am, consider my purpose both in and out of work, and reaffirm my priorities for my career and professional development.
I now feel more focused. It has reignited my drive to continue developing as a leader so I can better support the incredible colleagues I work with.
Elizabeth Delaney, Marketing and Communications Manager
Carrie-Ann's mentoring came at a point when I'd been through a bit of a rough time and was desperately needing to find time to focus on me, just for a bit! I wanted to feel I was doing the best not just for me, but for the brilliant team I lead.
Her insight and experience meant that each session resulted in copious notes, ideas and "oh my gosh yes that's it" moments! It wasn't that she gave me all the answers, but her ability to guide me to think about challenges differently and to constructively support my reflections is something that I know I will refer back to many times.
I honestly can't recommend Carrie-Ann highly enough.
Sarah Bellman, Deputy Director
Taking part in the Thrive Programme gave me the confidence to apply for my current position, and I am enjoying implementing some of the tactics learnt in my new role!

I would 100% recommend this programme to fellow communications and engagement professionals.

When Carrie-Ann speaks, you listen.

​
She leads conversations that matter, with warmth, wit, and wisdom.
Carrie-Ann uses her voice to lift others and move the profession forward.
Head of Communications & Engagement
Carrie-Ann understood my world, but knowing she didn't know my colleagues meant I could speak openly. She helped talk me through challenging conversations and gave me confidence, reassured me I was doing a good job and understanding her own career progression helped me with my imposter syndrome!
Lily, Social Media Manager
Carrie-Ann is a rare kind of leader — quietly confident, self-assured, and deeply human.
She doesn’t need to shout about her success, yet her impact is undeniable. She leads without ego, brings people with her, and shows that true ambition doesn’t require sharp elbows.
She’s the kind of role model every communicator should meet: calm, capable, and always authentic.
