I'm Carly Goldsmith, PCC

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.

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.”

“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.”
