The six stages
Six inflection points. One guide.
Every career turns on a handful of moments. These are the ones worth having someone in your corner for.
01
Entry into a corporation

Becoming a working parent
Balance ambition and family without feeling you are failing at both. Create harmony, then thrive in it.
03
Becoming a manager
Lead a team for the first time. Build trust quickly, delegate well, and make a real impact.
04
Becoming an executive
Think strategically, inspire other leaders, and drive the direction rather than react to it.

Regain clarity after a layoff, rebuild confidence, and define the next chapter on your terms.

Founder & executive coach
Beth Carroll
For over twenty-five years, I built and led the organizations where people grew their careers. Global services, customer success, education, and support teams inside Fortune 500 companies including Oracle and IBM, and at software firms like PeopleSoft, Varicent, and Dayforce, scaling past 900 professionals across North America, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC.
That put me on every side of the transitions on this page. I hired people into their first corporate role and watched them find their footing. I promoted brilliant individual contributors into management and helped them through the part nobody warns you about. I led teams through acquisitions from both sides of the table, which means I have delivered the hard news and I have been on the receiving end of it.
I coach because the moments that actually changed my career were almost never the strategy decks. They were conversations with someone who had sat where I found myself in that moment. This is the seat I am taking now, for you.
I founded Better You Coaching to bring guidance to every stage of your career. I am building a small cohort of coaches who hold the same standards.

In their words
Results people feel.
“Beth has an eye for talent most executives never develop, and a habit of coaching people into leadership roles before they believed they were ready. Twenty years is long enough to see someone’s real character — she has actually done the work, not just read about it.”
“Beth’s coaching and guidance gave me the tools to successfully deal with a very challenging boss at a real crossroads in my career. Without our coaching sessions, I would have left the organization.”
“Whenever I am stuck on a hard decision, Beth does not just listen — she helps me think it through until I can see my own way forward. She has given me the confidence to face difficult conversations head on.”
Questions
Before you book.
How long does coaching usually last?
Most engagements run three to six months, long enough to build habits rather than just insight. Some clients change their cadence after that.
How often do we meet?
Typically every other week, with email support between sessions when something urgent comes up.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-looking and goal-oriented. If something surfaces that is better served by a therapist, we say so directly.
What makes your background relevant to my situation?
Twenty-five years running global services organizations and working with a wide variety of customers inside Fortune 500, mid-sized, and startup companies means relevant experience hiring, promoting, restructuring, and developing people at all stages of their careers. My background means I have seen many of the exact situations you are facing, not guessing at what the room looks like.
What does it cost?
Packages start with a single session and run up to twelve. You can build yours on the packages page, and nothing is charged until after your free consultation.
What if I am not sure which stage I am in?
That is a completely normal place to start, and it is often the most useful first conversation we can have.
