Designing the life that you should be living
Elderflower Coaching specialises in supporting mid and later life professional women as they navigate career and life transitions
At Elderflower Coaching…
we work with women who recognise that they have more to give and want to embrace and plan their mid/later life to foster purpose, curiosity, learning, and interest.
Our work together may include helping you to overcome limiting beliefs, increasing your confidence, identifying opportunities to enhance performance at work, or designing a new blended approach to work and life that is more aligned to who you really are.
Helping you to both thrive and shine at this stage of life is our goal!
about me
I’m Carolyn Ellesmere, the founder of Elderflower Coaching. I’m on a mission to support women as they navigate transitions in their mid/later life. I spent 20 years working in both Human Resources in the retail and financial services sector, and in consulting, where I worked for 3 of the “Big Four” firms at Director level. Following an extended career break I returned to work and trained as a professional coach, firstly at the University of Warwick and then at Henley Business School, where I studied for my Masters Degree in coaching.
I have been a professional coach for nearly 10 years working with clients from FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies and leading public sector organisations such as the NHS. I work with clients on a broad range of leadership, life, and career topics and follow an integrated approach in my coaching practice, drawing on different methodologies to suit the individual needs of my clients.
Supporting mid/later life professional women to realise their potential, develop a positive mindset, design their best life, and embrace the future with curiosity, vigour, and passion
I chose the name “elderflower” for my business because in some cultures it represents wisdom, knowledge, and reinvention. I really believe that the time is now, to thrive and invest in the second half of life!
