Find your inspiration in 3 quotes:

• " I have never felt that my job is what someone else is paying me to do. My job is to become the leader I long to be, at work, at home, and in the world ".

• " At the end of my 30's, I was working in Wall Street doing mergers and acquisitions. I had two small children and I was getting a divorce. I suddenly realised that the game was all about money, and that is not my game. My game is about developing people to be the leaders they want to be at work, at home, and in the world. So I quitted Wall Street. ".

• " Courage comes from the (Latin) word "cor" which means heart, and it means to go forward with your heart in your mouth at times of doubt, fear, and uncertainty. So to be the leader you want to be at work, at home, and in the world, you have got to be courageous".

Carolyne has built an amazing five-decade career as a diplomat, Wall Street banker, consultant, healthcare futurist, professor, and philanthropist while raising a family and enduring her own losses and disappointments.
She is the creator of The Decade Game®, which she has been playing since she was 8.

Some of the Decade Game “axioms” - were created over the years as her own un-rules of the game.

It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you

If you are not having fun, you are playing by someone else’s rules

The Trials and Triumphs of the Past, are the Treasures that fund the Future.

Today she is here to share her career change story and how she is coaching women to become their best selves at home, at work, and everywhere beyond and in between.
