Working with incredible female founders and leaders, she felt the weight of responsibility for their personal brands and strategic positioning. The trust these women placed in her drove her to push beyond her own doubts and insecurities. Carol's approach to tackling this challenge involved recognizing her capabilities, building a supportive team, and focusing on the impact of her work. Her story emphasizes the importance of self-belief and the transformative power of trusting oneself in leadership roles.

CAROL ON REDEFINING SUCCESS

Carol's definition of success is multifaceted. It includes delivering groundbreaking work for clients, hearing and valuing each team member, and loving what she does. Her journey to success is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and the support of her family, team, and clients. One of the biggest obstacles she faced was dealing with horrible bosses who were bullies and did not listen or care. These experiences shaped her leadership style, teaching her to encourage, listen, understand, and always support her team. Carol’s approach to building resilient teams involves facilitating a supportive environment where every member feels heard and valued, leading to collective success.

I HEAR STORIES OF WONDERFUL BOSSES WHO MADE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE TODAY - I HAD A SELECTION OF AWFUL BOSSES. HONESTLY, THIS WAS THE BEST TRAINING AS I LEARNED TO HIRE PEOPLE BETTER THAN ME, ENCOURAGE, LISTEN, UNDERSTAND, AND ALWAYS REACH BACK AND PULL UP THE PERSON BEHIND ME.
