The executive coaching I have received from Alex Carter at CEI is some of the best mentorship I have received in my professional career. Because of his own leadership experiences, Alex listens and supports me to be a possibility LP thinker and problem solver. He continually encourages me to be a more thoughtful and responsive leader serving my team to the best of my abilities.
