“After the pleasure of being coached by Carissa, I found that her deep presence and inspiring insight really moved me to recommitting to my love of piano in a newly profound way. After years of not touching this beautiful instrument, (once a great joy of mine), I found that she reconnected me with a part of my creative self that I didn’t realize was still there. I’m steadily making it a larger a part of my routine now and couldn’t be more appreciative of Carissa’s help in unlocking it.”

“Carissa is a thoughtful collaborator, human-centered designer, and deeply committed human. I worked closely with Carissa on the development and launch of a global development program for people managers. Through that experience I learned that she is a team player, invested in the success of the work and equally invested in the well-being of the team. Her commitment to excellence combined with her calm and humble leadership make her an asset to any team. Carissa is the kind of person you want to have in work with you because she makes the work better. Grateful to have been a part of amazing work with Carissa!”
