ABOUT CAROLYN
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
I specialize in helping professionals get unstuck, maximize their potential and achieve more.
It’s simple! Having those goosebump moments. Have you ever had goosebumps when you experienced a strong reaction to something? I have…
Goosebumps are bumps that appear on a person’s skin when they are cold or experiencing a feeling of strong emotion. This emotion could be anything from fear to pleasure to nostalgia and even awe.
When working with my clients, there are these moments that come when I get goosebumps. It’s those moments that I am in awe of my client…as they are becoming UNSTUCK. This happens when they are gaining more self-awareness, challenging their assumptions, and speaking up for themselves, facing their fears, or increasing their confidence.
It’s when I know my keynote talks, online programs, and corporate training workshops have changed someone in some way that I feel I made a difference…and that means everything to me.
HOW I DO WHAT I DO
I create a safe environment where people are able to get out of their comfort zones, awaken the talent within themselves, and reach their full potential.
Gaining trust from your colleagues comes from being open and genuine with one another. The more candid you are about development needs, the more compassion you will gain from others. This transparency creates better conversations, improved productivity and performance.
I offer a variety of keynote presentations based on the principles of emotional intelligence. On top of that, I have eight emotional intelligence courses that are delivered completely online.
In addition, if you are looking for corporate training, please check out our new division of our business, EI Experience.
Building emotional and social intelligence is the most life-changing skill that could ever be taught, but isn’t. That is…until now.

TESTIMONIALS
Happy Customers
JURGEN FRANKE
Director,
Engineering and Environment
“Carolyn facilitated an EI retreat for our executive team and it was not only fascinating, but it was also life-changing. 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.”
DEBORAH MAYNARD
Vice President, HR,
Cascade Aerospace Inc.
“Carolyn’s workshop changed the way we think about leadership and emotional intelligence by showing us how it can seriously affect our bottom line. Not only did we learn that it impacts how we personally react to daily challenges, but how we can use our emotions as information to act appropriately when faced with those challenges. Her words were on the mark and encouraged listeners to engage and be the change they need to be to direct their own lives.“
