Leadership Coaching

Empowering high-achieving leaders and professionals close the gap between who they are and how they lead. 

The 20% Sabbatical™

A structured, 4-month program for professionals who need to reset and realign their work and life without stepping away. 

I'm Carly Goldsmith, PCC

Carly Headshor

At every stage of my career — as a leadership coach, the creator of the 20% Sabbatical™, and a former corporate talent leader — one thing has held true for the people I work with: the more grounded they are in who they are and the more clearly they understand their strengths and how they get in their own way, the easier change becomes. After engaging in that deep, introspective work, decisions become clearer. Communication becomes more honest. Teams thrive. People feel happier and more fulfilled. I help leaders at every level build the self-awareness and skills to make that happen.

Working with an organization?

In addition to individual coaching and the 20% Sabbatical, I partner with companies through leadership workshops, cohort programs, and team coaching.

Whether you're drawn to leadership coaching, the 20% Sabbatical, or you're just not sure yet the best first step is always a conversation. 

What my clients are saying

“Working with Carly has helped me become more positive, strengthen my executive presence, and make decisions more quickly and confidently. During our time together, I’ve been promoted, successfully moved into two new roles with increased compensation and broader responsibility and expanded the size of the team I manage.”

Director of Product Marketing AI & Machine Learning

“This was my first true coaching experience, and Carly brought what I had been missing from years of self-development on my own. Her deep understanding of human behavior, practical and action-oriented approach, and genuine warmth made it easier to face uncomfortable challenges, find solutions that worked, and stay accountable to meaningful change.”

Sr. Manager, Marketing Data Science & Engineering

"We saw a significant shift in our team’s willingness to take risks and try new approaches. Fear of failure decreased, while innovation and experimentation became more encouraged and celebrated. Carly felt like a true part of our team - invested in our success and deeply familiar with our organization and ways of working, which made the collaboration easy.”
