Meet Carla

Life & Business Coach, Speaker & Facilitator

I’m Carla Smith—a life and business coach, speaker, and facilitator. My journey began in 2006 when I started working in corporate finance. I later became a director and partner in a manufacturing business, where I led finance and HR for over 10 years.

That’s where my love for coaching really began—working closely with leaders, supporting their growth, and helping teams operate with more clarity and connection.

In 2023, after the loss of both my parents, I was deeply reminded of how precious time is. I decided to follow my true passion: helping others.

This work means everything to me. In 2025, I started studying psychology to deepen my understanding and bring even more value to the people I coach.

Carla is a rare combination of calm presence and powerful insight

She listens deeply, asks the right questions, and gently challenges you to grow. Her support helped me make key decisions for my business that I’d been avoiding for months.

Carla brings calm to the chaos

I was juggling business growth, family, and a total loss of direction. Working with Carla gave me the space to breathe, think clearly, and take action from a grounded place. Her support was the turning point I didn’t know I needed.
