Hey there, I'm Carole.
Hey there, I'm Carole.
I was a straight-As, teacher's-pet, obnoxiously-obedient kid who went to grad school to become a professor.
But tenure looked like jail so I took the leadership path. I loved it ... until I didn't.
After decades of doing everything right, I realized I'd never be able to to do enough.
Now I help high-achievers stop over-performing for toxic systems (and let’s be honest, people) that don’t love them back.
It starts with giving yourself permission.
