About
I’m Jeff Carroll.
I’m a coach at heart, and I want everyone to achieve the legacy for their life that will leave a lasting impact.
I started my coaching career as a head high school volleyball coach, but what I miss the most has nothing to do with volleyball. Every season, I developed a vision for success as well as a mission statement that guided my players on and off the court. What mattered most was ultimately what they took away from the program when the season was over. That’s legacy.
My passion for personal development and leadership coaching grew out of my love for teaching and coaching. I created a leadership class at the High School where I taught for 30 years and I had the opportunity to facilitate leadership growth in high school students. Teaching this class allowed me to exercise my coaching abilities in a different way, and since then, I have never looked back.
Coaching leaders.
After retiring from my job as a high school teacher and coach, I dove into the world of personal growth and development by achieving my MA in Organizational Leadership and Development through the Townsend Institute. I’ve been a Townsend Leadership Program (TLP) leader since 2015.
Since then, I have coached a number of individuals and businesses, helping them achieve success by assessing their needs and walking them through an integrative process of growth to help them create a lasting legacy in their personal and work arenas.
Everyone is a leader. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, or a CEO of a major corporation, we all have a legacy to leave behind. I hope that you will invite me to be a part of your journey.
Family
On a personal note, I have raised 5 children with my beautiful wife of 40 years. We also have 12 grandchildren…and counting! When I am not coaching people, you will find me spending time with family or traveling with my wife to see our kids and grandkids.

"He Will Not Back Down"
Jeff is a winning athletic coach, and a gifted leadership trainer who cares deeply about people's growth. What sets him apart, in my opinion, is his hunger for learning - Jeff reads more books on leadership and growth than any client I have ever worked with! Even more important is his willingness to engage in his own growth work. He stands by the term 'you can only lead people as far as you have come.' He holds himself to the same standards to which he holds others. If Jeff is your coach, you will discover he's tough, he's committed, and he will not back down in getting the very best out of you!

I have been involved with TLP for four years now and I continue to be in awe at what I learn about myself as a leader and more importantly as an individual who God wants to use in deeper, meaningful relationships with others.I have gained confidence, communication skills that enhance my relationships, and a better understanding to what processing situations is all about. Or as I say, it’s not about “surface talk”, lets get to the root of the problem!TLP has changed my life, deepened my relationship with my husband, friends and family. I highly recommend it for everyone! So thankful that Jeff pursued me and encouraged me to join!
