Carl
Carl is an ACC certified leadership coach, specialising in helping leaders make the breakthroughs they need to become the best version of themselves.
Carl comes from a multi-decade career leading IT service management, working to C-suite with some of the largest financial services companies in the world. Carl has worked extensively with individuals and teams to help them optimise their performance and realise their potential.

Who is this for?
Sun and Sky Coaching helps talented professionals and organisations clarify goals, navigate change and thrive:
Complacency to Curiosity: Treading professional water? Sometimes you don’t know how far you’ve swum before you realise you’re drifting miles from shore. Coaching throws a lifeline to pull you back, and help you recognise what matters most.
Conflict to Courage: High-pressure work environments are tiring and stressful. Coaching enables you to find the courage to discover new paths and tap into the self-development skills needed to find and support a new work/life balance.
Constriction to Creativity: Feeling like you have no space to breathe and grow? A growing list of things to do can hinder as well as help. Coaching gives you an opportunity to pause, ponder and prioritise.
Cut off to Community: Tricky teams and fractious relationships can demotivate. Disempowered employees fail to thrive. Coaching helps you navigate flashpoints, rediscover your community and build positive collaborations.
- Coping to Change: An unmanageable workload distracts even the most efficient person from realising their goals, leaving them struggling to keep the plates spinning. Coaching helps you to let go, embrace change, and move on.
What Our Clients Say
Carl really helped me to pause and reflect on my actions, something I often neglect during a busy day (or week). His guidance has been invaluable in addressing my professional insecurities, and his reminder that we all experience imposter syndrome at some level has been particularly reassuring.
Through our sessions, I’ve gained a greater sense of self-awareness and confidence in my abilities. Carl’s empathetic approach and constructive feedback have encouraged me to embrace my strengths and acknowledge areas for growth without feeling overwhelmed.
The communication throughout has been nothing short of fantastic. Carl’s ability to listen attentively and provide thoughtful, actionable advice has made a significant impact on my personal and professional development.
It was the best experience, I feel like Carl is an amazing coach.
Olga Shelenko
Working with Carl has been a transformative experience for me. He helped me gain confidence in my abilities and provided invaluable insights into my strengths while also uncovering areas for improvement. What I appreciated most was his structured and consistent approach—it created a safe space for dialogue and gave me clarity, even when I felt stuck.
At the end of each session, I always left with something actionable to work on, content with meaningful insights that had a real impact on my growth. His guidance was practical and empowering, enabling me to tackle challenges effectively and make significant progress. I’m truly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow personally and professionally.
Alienor d’Eyssautier
Carl is a dynamic coach; client centred at all times and willing to work with the client in the moment. His in-depth contracting with me enabled him to understand how I was feeling at each visit without making assumptions based on previous conversations. Carl was able to adapt his coaching style according to my physical/psychological/emotional state at each session rather than basing his approach on what we had covered in previous sessions. Carl listens and is adept at observing changes in body language, breathing, posture etc. even when working online. Carl is very creative and this offers him a range of different techniques but he is willing to change his approach in the moment if something isn’t working. I experienced a ‘shift’ during every session and believe that to be a direct result of Carl’s willingness to be curious and challenge at the appropriate time.
Rachel Crawford
Carl was able to expertly create a safe space for me to comfortably express myself very openly, and rather than offer quick fixes, asked the right probing questions, which enabled me to think more critically about situations I’ve been dealing with both professionally and in my personal life, which helped me to uncover underlying issues that I hadn’t previously recognised. I’ve been able to confront myself more honestly since signing up for these sessions, and in that regard, I’d strongly recommend Carl for enabling this as a coach.
Zack Lwanga
Sam is a phenomenal coach. She exudes wisdom and experience and creates a climate of trust, openness and honesty. Coaching with her has been transformative for me – the DISC profile has helped me develop genuine and meaningful self-awareness. Her gentle, incisive questioning and the secure space she creates have helped me learn so much about myself in a short space of time and my sense of self-efficacy, identity and efficiency have improved dramatically with powerful, simple reminders of what really matters.
Dr Emma Kell
I have been working with Sam for a couple of years now although I have known Sam for nearly 10 years!
My sessions with Sam are so beneficial; they are reflective yet outcomes driven which works perfectly for me as I need small goals to work on each time. Sam has helped me prioritise my workload and given me the ability to manage a healthy work and life balance, meaning my children get the best of me and work gets the best of me. Knowing Sam understands the world of education as well as being a leader means there is a natural empathy and understanding which is not easy to find in a coach.
Thank you for all your support and I look forward to our next session.
