About Me

Why Work With Me

I’m a Strategic Thinking Partner, Executive Communication Coach, TEDx Speaker and former broadcast journalist. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with leaders and teams around the world to build cultures of connected leadership - where presence matters, relationships deepen, and trust becomes a living system.
My work blends systemic thinking, relational intelligence and transformative communication to help people lead with more clarity, integrity and impact—not just in what they say, but in how they show up.

SIGNATURE WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING

While every workshop or programme is tailored for your organisation, I am particularly known for
transforming lives through developing mastery in the following areas:

For leaders and teams ready to shift the emotional tone of how they lead.
This session explores the quiet habits that fracture trust - contempt, withdrawal, defensiveness, and how they can be replaced with connection, coherence and repair. Because when we stop trusting others, we often stop trusting life. And right now, we need leaders who believe in their power, for real.
For leaders and teams ready to reconnect to trust, presence and each other.
This experiential session - grounded in Carissa’s work as a Coaching Supervisor and systemic facilitator - uses stillness, reflection and relational practice to deepen connection and reawaken leadership presence.
Because when we slow down together, something else becomes possible: clarity, trust, and a deeper kind of influence.
A practical, relational framework for growing together - with more coherence, courage and connection.
In this workshop, I introduce five core practices - inner work, real play, silence, bodywork and relational wisdom - as the foundation for leadership that evolves without losing what makes us human.
