My Story

Background
My Story
Since I can remember, I have always felt things deeply and had strong emotional reactions to people, things or situations. Being labelled as ’emotional’ got such bad rap in my family. As a child and for the longest time, I believed this was a negative personality trait.
But just because I am an emotional person does not mean I am weak. Not paying attention to, understanding, and managing my emotions was what was ruining my world—not the fact that I felt, and still feel, things strongly.
Since the days of my childhood, I’ve slowly come to learn that our emotions are not the enemy. Nor are they a sign of weakness. Rather, demonstrating vulnerability, speaking our truth, and telling others how we really feel is our superpower.
We’ve been hoodwinked all these years into believing that our emotions are dirty and that expressing them is a shameful act. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
It’s time to make friends with our feelings.
For more than two decades, I have synthesized all that I have studied and researched in education, psychology, and business, as well as what I’ve learned, witnessed, and experienced in my classes and inside hundreds of organizations, to teach the emotional skills necessary for both students and leaders to connect authentically, communicate effectively, and thrive collectively.

“Carolyn’s ability to recognize both emotional deficiencies and strengths in a group of “know it all” executives, and then to manage, direct and coach us to understand our team’s emotional strengths and to overcome our individual weaknesses is both awesome and unnerving.”

My Passion
Why Work With Me?
As an educator and leader, I know what is taught in schools and workplaces, and what is not, and I quickly realized that I could help.
So I started developing simple tools, techniques, strategies and exercises to share what I had learned about emotional intelligence and how it could change the lives of others.
All of my keynotes, online courses, and corporate training programs are backed by leading science and grounded in my decades of in-the-field experience.
Each of my programs will do more than scratch the surface. I help you understand why you do what you do, without judgments or criticism. This powerful personal insight dissolves lifelong roadblocks to growth and change, amplifying your strengths and giving you the tools to manage the hurdles live throws at you, clearing the path for your true potential to emerge.
EI is the key to unlocking true human potential – your own potential as a leader, and the full potential of your team, both as individuals and as a unit.
