“I have been an academic for 30 years, 20 of them in senior roles.  I  had never had coaching before and someone recommended  Charlotte von Bülow.  Three years on I can honestly say that enlisting Charlotte's support is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my working life. She immediately helped me to understand how common and 'normal' my doubts and struggles were and she has helped me enormously in several ways: by giving me insight into how biographical experiences and relationships since childhood have shaped my outlook to work and behaviours; helping me understand how past experiences in the workplace and some unresolved feelings and fears were also shaping the patterns of thought and actions I brought to my leadership roles; by helping me in very practical ways to think about and deal with specific leadership, management and relational issues and difficulties as that arose ; by enabling me to appreciate my strengths and what I do well and develop strategies to ensure I apply these skills and passion as much as possible in all aspects of my work.  Charlotte is a deeply ethical, intelligent, knowledgeable, wise, fearless mentor who is prepared to go anywhere her client's need to. I found her coaching inspirational and nothing less than life-changing and cannot recommend her highly enough.

“Charlotte is the most exceptional coach I have ever worked with. She is a brilliant guide, facilitator, and overall inspiration who embodies levity, precision, creativity, and wisdom through her presence. 

She creates a space that invites clarity and depth of thought and encourages more of me to step forward to meet the situation at hand. As a coach there is an artfulness to her approach. She can move between the practical and philosophical with incredible grace. In short periods of time, Charlotte has a way of getting to the heart of things. She invites reflection and helps me notice more, which has widened my perspective and helped me connect with new possibilities. Additionally she has helped me find my own sense of stability in times of uncertainty. Each session with Charlotte is profoundly meaningful. Our work together has rippled out to touch all areas of my life.”

“The work with Charlotte was invaluable, as there was no way I could have undertaken the tasks I was confronted with without this support. Not only was my leadership development coach a good talking partner as I stepped up to take on a new role, but I also got new perspectives on leadership when I prepared to retire and be self-employed again. Keywords and processes: creativity, openness, transparency, humor, somebody having my back; feeling supported when vulnerable; challenged when necessary; educated when lacking insight; and celebrated when successful, which often as leaders we are not. I felt I could rely on my coach not only as somebody who understood my predicament, helping me to overcome pictures of myself that were detrimental to my progress. Because of my coach's life experience and understanding of the complexity of the predicament, I found myself in at Grendon HMP, she made me feel normal and this is what happens in any organization. Charlotte helped me craft my ideas into robust manageable processes that enabled successful outcomes. The most inspiring part was being able to take advice into my work and feel myself flourish in ways I had not dreamed of.”

"The leadership coaching provided by Charlotte von Bülow was nothing short of transformative. Her approach, both inspirational and pragmatic, prompted a profound reevaluation of my career trajectory. Through her careful guidance, I gained a deeper understanding of the motivations behind my decisions, both conscious and unconscious, and developed a clearer vision for future work and self. Charlotte's perceptive and attentive nature, combined with her thoughtful and constructive coaching style, has equipped me with invaluable tools for critical self-analysis, and these have been instrumental in refining my decision-making process. It is with complete confidence that I recommend Charlotte as an exceptional career and leadership coach. Her influence has been a pivotal point in my professional development."

“I sought Charlotte 's coaching expertise due to my longstanding admiration for her professional achievements and intellectual depth. While I was initially drawn to her impressive background, I was unaware of her extensive experience in the coaching realm. My primary goal was to engage with someone who could challenge my assumptions and provide grounded guidance based on their own experience.

From the outset, Charlotte fostered a rapport that was both supportive and stimulating, creating a safe space for exploration and growth. Her ability to truly guide and shape the coaching journey was remarkable. She expertly tailored a process that resonated deeply with my personal and professional aspirations. Importantly, Charlotte encouraged a deliberate pace, allowing time for reflection and integration, which countered my initial tendency towards rapid execution. This approach proved invaluable.

Throughout the coaching engagement, I benefited immensely from a balance of accountability, permission to innovate, and the opportunity to explore the alignment between my professional priorities and deeper passions. Charlotte’s exceptional listening and reflection skills enabled her to truly understand my context, a testament to her ability to connect with and support her clients effectively.

The impact of this coaching experience has been profound and transformative, both personally and professionally. It isn’t an understatement to say it has been life-changing and am deeply grateful for the experience that arrived at such a perfect time in my life when I was exploring professional changes that felt unwieldy and difficult to pin down. I wholeheartedly recommend Charlotte’s coaching.”
