ABOUT CARMEN
I am Carmen Franklin, an Executive and Personal Coach, Developer of People, and Author.

WHY I COACH
I enjoy empowering people through their learning experiences while supporting their journey and development.
I am a coach who listens well, supporting clients as they pick through the finer points of their expressions, thoughts, intentions and actions.
My experiences in Human Resources as a Senior HR Business Partner, Learning and Development Manager, Insights Practitioner and Coach have transformed people's view of their values, work and purpose, supporting attainment of their life goals.
I created the Love Coaching Model to help clients by Listening, Observing, Valuing and Empowering their aspirations.
BELIEFS AND PRACTICES
"My clients are like lamps and I help them to switch on their lights to illuminate their path."
I am committed to strict ethical codes and professional standards to ensure the best outcome for my clients.
"In the spirit of Victor Frankl, I choose to believe that I have the client's interest at heart, and will continue to learn, find new ways to connect and explore with their agenda held firmly in mind."
"In the truth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., all labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."
A Decade of Trust
"As a management trainer specialising in soft skills, I've worked with over a hundred organisations across Europe, including Buckingham Palace, the House of Lords, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and, in Carmen's case, Sony. My experience working with Carmen over ten years was unique, and an untold joy.
What made it unique was Carmen's remarkably in-depth knowledge of the 700 colleagues she was responsible for training, each treated as an individual with their own needs, from senior staff to new joiners. She was also constantly willing to innovate, devising new courses as needs changed rather than relying on generic ones.
Working with her felt like a genuine partnership. I trusted her from early on, she is imbued with honesty and integrity of the highest order, and every course we developed together went through real collaboration: an outline, detailed discussion, revisions, and a prototype tested and refined before rollout.
For all these reasons, I believe Carmen will be an excellent coach. She has a deep awareness of individual needs, years of experience meeting them, and above all, a very human way of relating to others. As a qualified coach myself, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her."
