About Work Wobble
balance for great work and life
Work Wobble is led by me, Carrie.
I’m a former C-suite HR Director with over 22 years’ experience working at the highest levels of business, leading large-scale transformation across some of the UK’s most recognised organisations, including Lloyds Banking Group, Jaguar Land Rover, and Deloitte.
​
Throughout my career I have built leadership capability, designed development practices, and strengthened executive team effectiveness in complex, high-stakes environments. My work has often sat at the centre of significant organisational change—navigating cultural transformation, difficult leadership dynamics, and the emotionally charged realities that come with running large businesses.
Having spent decades inside boardrooms and executive teams, I understand the realities leaders face: the pressure to deliver, the politics that sit behind decisions, and the personal cost that leadership can quietly demand.
That perspective shapes the work I do today—helping leaders and organisations navigate moments of uncertainty, misalignment, and change with greater clarity, resilience, and human understanding.
​
My coaching combines real-world executive experience with insights from neuroscience and psychology to help leaders understand how people actually respond to stress, uncertainty, and change.
....Carrie's Story Continued
By the time I hit 40, after a decade of ignoring my feelings, they finally caught up with me—and completely overwhelmed me. I constantly had this nagging feeling of being trapped in a cycle I couldn’t escape, pushing forward with the hope that I would feel different but I never did. The pressure kept building until it crushed me. I was drained, lost, and felt like a shadow of the person I once was—or the person I wanted to be.​
The parts of my work I used to love—leading my team, facilitating executive sessions, strategising for the future—began to feel like wading through tar every single day. My body started to rebel. I was exhausted, constantly frustrated and generally struggling through each day.
​​
It became a battle just to hold on. I cried at night, slept through weekends, and couldn’t show up for my family in the way they needed me to. Deep down, I knew I was denying myself what I really needed. My gut knew it. My heart knew it. But my mind kept pushing back, clinging to the money, the status, the security, the “nice things.” Yet, piece by piece, I was unraveling.
​
Eventually, my body made the decision for me. When I finally had the conversation to leave, it felt like an out-of-body experience. I wish I’d seen it coming sooner, wish I’d taken the time to figure out what I needed before I hit breaking point. If only I’d had someone to help me navigate those feelings and choices before everything spiraled out of control.
​
That’s why I created Work Wobble. My journey was messy, exhausting, and full of doubt—but it doesn’t have to be that way for others. With the right tools, guidance, and space to reflect, the path forward can be clearer, easier, and less overwhelming. Work Wobble exists to help people find their balance before they hit the breaking point.
​
Leaving my corporate role wasn’t about giving up success—it was about redefining it. I stepped away from security without knowing if I’d ever reach that level again. But today, I’ve built a life that not only matches my former success but feels deeply fulfilling and authentic.
​
That pivotal moment inspired Work Wobble. I created it to help others standing at their own crossroads, unsure of what’s next. If you’re feeling stuck, it doesn’t have to mean the end—it could be the beginning of something even greater.
Let me show you how...
