Partnership Approach
-
I partner with business leaders and their leadership teams to ensure their people/HR strategy is aligned with and supports the long-term business objectives of the organization. Depending on the needs of the organization, my partnerships range from serving as an external advisor to being a fractional leader such as Chief People Officer or Chief Learning Officer. I also have a network of functional and industry experts that I’m able to tap into when needed.
Investing in an inclusive culture that prioritizes people and collaboration drives business impact. The businesses that understand this are the ones that will come out ahead. Working with clients that understand this is important to me.
-
I deliver custom trainings and workshops at leadership offsites, corporate-wide functions, sales kick-offs, and conferences, including women’s leadership conferences. I also facilitate leadership offsites, board and strategy meetings, and high-level brainstorming sessions.
“Carol has the ability to take the different ideas and voices of leaders and their teams - and synthesize it in a mission, vision, values and culture statement that resonates with the entire board and team. She role models what she teaches in her Start Culture Shift workshops, which is strong leadership results in everyone feeling heard, recognized and empowered to attain their goals. This is the path to a resilient organization that attracts and retains its best talent, and drives long-term results.”

I have a team that partners with executive education programs to design trainings for the private equity sector. We start the instructional design process with understanding target audience needs and identifying the knowledge/skill gaps. The end product is training content that covers complex subjects with easily digestible learnings and is visually appealing and crisp to the eye. Course examples include Introduction to Private Equity, Operational Due Diligence and ESG Considerations for the Limited Partner.

“Carol has figured out the path to building great work cultures. The Start Culture Shift roadmap simplifies what has traditionally been viewed as something very difficult to execute on - which is being crystal clear on how work gets done, and putting in place the pieces that enable leaders to balance a people-centered culture with accountability for clear performance expectations.”
