Welcome to Strategic Achievement Coaching, where transformation begins with clarity, purpose, and a commitment to living your fullest life. 

I’m Dr. Carol McGowan, founder of Strategic Achievement Coaching and a Life Strategist and Master Coach dedicated to helping individuals, particularly those navigating midlife and beyond, create lives of joy, purpose, and fulfilment. With decades of experience in coaching, counselling, and adult education, I specialise in guiding individuals to break free from feelings of being stuck or unfulfilled, helping them rediscover their passions and align with their authentic selves. 

At 50, I found myself at a crossroads, having climbed the corporate ladder only to ask, “What’s next?” That pivotal question ignited my journey of self-discovery and transformation—a journey that now fuels my passion for helping others navigate life’s transitions. My approach is deeply informed by lived experience, extensive education, and a commitment to evidence-based practices. I blend proactive planning with adaptable resilience, empowering my clients to face life’s challenges confidently and gracefully. 

As a contemporary elder advocate, I believe that life can be well-lived at any age. My mission is to help individuals move from strength to strength, uncovering untapped potential and crafting a vision for their next chapter. Whether you’re grappling with career transitions, redefining your purpose, or embarking on new personal goals, I’ll partner with you to create a roadmap tailored to your unique aspirations. 

Through Strategic Achievement Coaching, I offer a range of services, including Life Path Strategy Coaching, Career Strategy Coaching, and Coach Development Strategy Coaching. These services are delivered through personalised coaching sessions, workshops, speaking engagements, and interactive educational resources. My practice is rooted in positive psychology, leveraging your strengths to foster growth, resilience, and a sense of achievement. 

As a lifelong learner and educator, I’m proud to mentor the next generation of coaches and share my expertise through courses, blog posts, and my upcoming book, *Life’s Next Path*. Whether you’re seeking clarity on your direction, revitalisation of your purpose, or tools to navigate life’s challenges, I’m here to help you thrive. 

At Strategic Achievement Coaching, I know I’ve done my job when clients reach their goals and exceed them—discovering strengths they never knew they had and achieving fulfilment they once only dreamed of. My clients often say, “I’m doing things I never thought possible, and they’re bringing me more joy than I ever imagined.” 

Are you ready to begin your transformational journey? Let’s redefine what’s possible and create a life that truly aligns with your vision, values, and purpose. Whether life has left you wondering, “Is this all there is?” or you’re ready to embrace your next adventure, I’m here to help you take the first step.
