Meet Alice Carleton | Founder & Principal Consultant at True Intent
There are 3 words I live by in my work and my life. Whether I’m navigating a challenging situation, grappling with a decision, or creating something from scratch — I’ll ask myself, “Am I being Thoughtful, Courageous, and Strategic?” THOUGHTFUL—reflective and considerate. COURAGEOUS—some level of personal risk and vulnerability. STRATEGIC—creating relevant impact.
This philosophy—shaped by 18+ years developing high-performing teams and winning strategies, building out my own coaching & consulting practice since 2015, a master’s degree in leadership ethics, and my fair share of life experience—directly informs my coaching style and how I work with each of my clients.
Lead like you’ve got nothing to lose.
(Especially, when you do.)

Client Testimonials
A few (very kind) words from our clients:
CEROS | INTERACTIVE CONTENT CREATION PLATFORM | NEW YORK, NY
The leadership and innovation Alice brought to our people & culture strategy, combined with the level of coaching and mentorship she provided our people managers all at levels has made Alice a trusted advisor and confidant, as well as a true partner to me and the executive team. Our managers are not only more confident and better-equipped in leading their teams, while not expected, Alice has also positively impacted the personal development of much of our team.
—JENNIFER SCHWALB | CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER AT CEROS
““Confidence as a leader comes from taking micro and macro risks. Not isolating in your thoughts or decisions. Considering the impact of your words and actions. Developing trust in your gut instinct. And, even when you have much to lose—leading anyway.””
