Why I Love What I Do: I love seeing "light bulbs" going off in participants' heads when they have "aha" moments of insight. CoreClarity packs countless opportunities for deep insight into two fun, engaging workshops. Fundamentally, it enhances capacity for compassion and understand - and, as a result, builds confidence and strengthens teams, making everyone more fulfilled and productive!
Up Close & Personal: When she is not serving clients, facilitating workshops or making presentations, Carole spends time with her husband and any of their three adult children who happen to visit. At home, Carole enjoys watching classic movies, observing the birds that frequent her feeders and yoga. Around town, she enjoys savoring a great glass of wine at a winery, musicals and concerts.
