FROM FORTUNE 500 TO PURSUING PURPOSE

Carolyn began her career working “back of the room” sales at Tony Robbins events across the U.S., selling training programs to corporations, surpassing goals as a sales manager at Oracle, establishing the Minneapolis office of The Entrepreneur’s Source, and co-founding a massive franchise expo. 

Her time at Oracle and selling to Fortune 500 companies gave her invaluable experience and insight into the corporate world. But it was at the helm of her accelerator for small business owners where she found a new passion — developing a winning approach that helped entrepreneurs align their mindset and values with their business, clients and other key stakeholders.

But impostor feelings proved to be a stumbling block. And since her own copy of her friend Valerie’s book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women was well marked-up from countless readings, she began to gift each client a copy and became inspired by the profound impact it had on them.

CO-FOUNDER aND LEGACY PRESERVER

Fast forward to 2020. 

During their regular conversations over the dozen years they’ve known each other, Carolyn saw how busy Valerie was delivering her Rethinking Impostor Syndrome program to audiences seeking a solution to combat the impact and costs of impostor syndrome.

But once she discovered how often other speakers and coaches rely on key concepts from Valerie’s book in their own work — they had a hunch that teams, organizations, presenters, workshop facilitators, coaches, associations, and higher ed organizations would want to learn from the world’s foremost expert on impostor syndrome — and further spread the practical information, insight and tools of Rethinking Impostor Syndrome.

After all, who wouldn’t want to learn this proven, practical, immediately usable solution that’s been shared with over a half million people around the world?

And that’s when it clicked:  Combine Carolyn’s three decades of experience helping entrepreneurs translate their personal values into profitable business models with Valerie’s widely recognized, proven expertise, and join forces to co-found Impostor Syndrome Institute to stamp out impostor syndrome worldwide. 

GUIDING FORCE OF IMPOSTOR SYNDROME INSTITUTE

Today, as one of ISI’s guiding forces, Carolyn brings her boundless energy to: 

Deliver presentations and facilitate workshops for major corporations around the world to educate executives and employees alike on what impostor syndrome is, where it comes from, how it impacts productivity (and profits!) in the workplace and what to do about it

Oversee diagnostics and solutions for teams and organizations so in-house staff can incorporate ISI’s information, insight and practical tools into their business culture and counteract the negative effects of impostor syndrome so employees become even greater contributors in their roles

License professional speakers and workshop facilitators, showing them how to integrate Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™ into their existing business model in order to expand and complement current and new client relationships, secure first and future clients with a potent, step-by-step sales strategy, and increase customer lifetime value
