"I have worked with Carol Turner to earn my ACC and PCC designations. Carol is thoroughly grounded in ICF’s core competencies. Her teaching style emphasizes real time practice and practical feedback. She brings to the courses her coaching expertise, relevant reading, and complementary resources, including experts in the profession.
​
Upon completion of each of Carol’s courses I was prepared to meet ICF’s credentialing standards and passed with ease.”

"When I first began working with Dr. Carol Turner, I knew I wanted to earn my PCC credential. What I didn’t realize was that I was beginning a relationship that would ultimately help shape me into the coach I aspired to become.
​
Carol has a remarkable ability to create a learning environment that is both challenging and deeply encouraging. She doesn’t simply teach the ICF competencies; she helps you internalize them until they become a natural part of who you are as a coach. Her feedback was always thoughtful, specific, and delivered in a way that built my confidence while continuing to stretch me.
​
After earning my PCC, there was never a question about who I wanted to guide me toward my MCC. Once again, Carol’s preparation was exceptional. She held a high standard while providing the support, structure, and honest feedback I needed to continue growing. She has an incredible gift for hearing the subtle distinctions that elevate coaching from good to transformational.
​
Because of Carol’s mentorship, I didn’t just earn my PCC and later my MCC. I became a better listener, a more present coach, and a stronger thinking partner for my clients. Those are gifts that will continue to impact every conversation I have throughout my coaching career.
​
If you’re looking for a mentor coach who is deeply knowledgeable, genuinely invested in your success, and committed to helping you become the best coach you can be, I cannot recommend Dr. Carol Turner highly enough. I will always be grateful for the role she has played in my professional journey and for the confidence she instilled in me along the way."
