PHILOSOPHY & BACKSTORY

Alice Carleton | Founder at True Intent | Principal Coach & Consultant

All aspects of Alice’s work are informed by a single question, “What does it look like to be equally Thoughtful, Courageous, and Strategic?” THOUGHTFUL—both reflective and conscientious. COURAGEOUS—risk or vulnerability. STRATEGIC—creating real and measurable impact.

This philosophy—shaped by 20+ years developing high-performing teams and winning business strategies, a master’s degree in leadership ethics, and over 5000+ hours of high-impact coaching & consulting since 2015—directly shapes how Alice works with her individual and organizational clients.

Alice is an innovative and seasoned people & culture leader, talent strategist, and executive coach. She has worked with global clients and companies in SaaS B2B, Finance, Luxury Cosmetics and CPG, Hospitality, and Wellness industries across in-person, hybrid, and remote-first environments.

Alice’s credentials include a Master's in Leadership & Business Ethics, ICF-accredited Executive Coaching and Organizational Development (OD) certifications, and SHRM-SCP. Alice primarily coaches and consults entrepreneurs and business owners, emerging-to-executive leaders, and organizations navigating pivotal change or development.

Alice currently lives in Portland, ME, with footholds in Boston, NYC, and Dublin, Ireland. Outside work, she is an avid tennis player, travel buff, foodie, and home improvement DIYer.
