Certified Marketing Coach & Life Coach

As a Certified Marketing and Life Coach for green business owners, I have found that one of the most difficult things for small business owners to do is market their products or services. That’s not what you’ve spent years doing. But I have.
I have worked in business development and marketing from Madison Avenue to Main Street America for over 25 years and combined this with my 15 years in the green movement and holistic field. I have helped launch many green companies, institutions and services from organics to green websites to cleaning products, home decor, personal care, renewable energy, educational institutions, children products and accessories, pet products, eco services and more. See Mind Over Markets to learn more.
As an entrepreneur myself, I developed a line of products in my home and in four years sold my business to the second largest food company in the world. How did I do this? Marketing, marketing, marketing.
What I love to do is work one-on-one with green business owners starting and growing their businesses. You are our future.
Here are some of the areas I can help you with:
Develop a Marketing Strategy for your business and lifestyle;
Learn and successfully implement social media strategies to promote your business consistently;
Create customized business solutions specific to your needs and goals;
Identify the best traditional and guerilla marketing/business strategies and tactics;
Assist in the development of products and/or services to enhance your business and bottom-line.
Through a 60 minute phone session twice a month, we will explore what you want to achieve in your business and:
Set specific goals and plan a course of action to achieve them;
Examine issues or beliefs that may be holding you back;
Look at the behavioral patterns and systems that may help or hinder change.
I will also:
Ask thought-provoking questions to stimulate you to look at things in new ways;
Set you assignments to do between coaching sessions;
Give you honest feedback;
Listen; really listen to what you say. Not only to the surface content of what you are saying, but also listening for the patterns, beliefs and feelings behind content;
Hold you accountable to the actions that you commit to take between coaching sessions.

What my clients are saying…
“Carolyn Parrs is the most knowledgeable, experienced and personable Coach and ally that I can imagine. From the moment I met her to my most recent session, I continue to be so ‘greatful’ to have her support and expertise on a crucial part of my journey. It has made a tremendous difference.”
– Colleen Kelley, Artist, Author, Teacher, Counselor
“Thanks again for working with me over the last several months. You truly have a gift as a coach and I am so pleased with the personal development I got out of our efforts. Thursday’s session actually seemed to speed up my recovery from my cold.”
– Josh Gray, Solar Project Manager
“Carolyn truly brings her heart into her coaching relationship with her clients. She not only understands what it is that I am trying to accomplish but she also cares and is invested in my success – whether it involves my career, relationships, personal life, or personal growth. Carolyn gives me the space and time to explore all aspects of what I’m working to accomplish – the reasons why I want to do it, my emotions and drive behind it, the activities I need to do, and the impact the activities may have. She acts as my sounding board, my advisor and my best friend and cheerleader. As a result, after each coaching session I am invigorated and ready to face any challenges as I work toward my goals. I’ve been working with Carolyn for the past 6 years and, when I look back over that time and see the changes that I have been able to make in my life, I know that it would not have been possible – or as much fun! – without Carolyn’s coaching and support.”
– Jennifer Monihan-Searles, Consultant
“I spent some time visualizing my future with the elements you gave me and I was clearly able to picture my very bright future. Thank you for all of your wisdom, encouragement and love! It is my great pleasure to work with you and share this journey. I am very fortunate to have you in my life. You have topped my gratitude list!”
– Laurie Raphael, Designer
“Working with Carolyn is like suddenly finding a secret, hidden, beautiful, pathway to the core of myself. Not simply as a wife, mother, or daughter, but as the passionate and purposeful woman I was born to be. Thank you for taking those first steps with me. I am forever changed. I am forever grateful.”
