Carol is a disruptive thought leader innovating how leaders run their organizations across industries. She spent decades working as a professional recruiter and executive coach, working with leaders across various industries, and she began to notice a common issue. CEOs had repeatedly approached her with what they thought was a “recruiting problem” or a “retention problem”, and time and time again it pointed to a deeper issue within the organization itself. Carol spent years researching and formulating a solution to this systemic problem. In her best-selling book, “Powered By People”, she lays out the path forward: talent-centricity. She coined the term “Talent-Centric Organization” to describe the end result of a company that undergoes the process of refocusing on its employees and aligning its talent and business strategy. Although it was a disruptive idea, she took the risk and left her successful career to found Vertical Elevation, aimed at coaching organizations to become talent-centric. By innovating the way each company functions at every level, Carol’s team helps leaders make decisions that set their businesses up for long-term success and profitability. She customizes her processes to each client’s needs and goals. Her talent strategy process incorporates the executive management team’s core values and permeates every aspect of the hiring process. Now, Carol has helped several organizations transform their methods to find greater success. She’s helped companies grow their revenues from 10-30% and reduce costs associated with turnover by up to 75%. As she continues to coach C-level teams, she also hosts many CEOs and founders on her podcast, “Authentically Successful.” The weekly podcast provides a free tool for global listeners to gain insight into various industries, career journeys, funding journeys, and most importantly, mistakes leaders have made. In addition, she happily offers advice and knowledge to those who are not quite ready to participate in a professional development program but are interested in making changes to how their companies are run.Specialties:📌 Building Talent-Centric Organizations📌 Leadership Coaching📌 Group Coaching📌 Recruitment Consultant📌 Executive Suite & Board of Directors Alignment📌 Career Coaching📌 Custom Leadership Cohorts📌 Culture of Feedback Creation
