Advisory & Coaching
Carol Enneking is a force in modern leadership—a corporate warrior turned transformational guide for today’s most influential organizations. Her brand reflects the breadth of her work as a speaker, author, and advisor. While her speaking and writing inspire audiences and readers around the world, this page highlights the services Carol provides as an advisor and coach.
For years, Carol coached executives and rising stars in 150+ global companies to lead with authenticity, courage, and clarity.

Rising to Vice President at a $6B global company, she built credibility not just through expertise, but through influence, adaptability, and a deep commitment to integrity. That journey—from advising executives to becoming one—gives Carol a rare dual-lens perspective and an authenticity leaders trust.
Today, Carol brings that perspective to boardrooms and leadership teams across industries. Her mission is to help organizations cultivate leadership cultures where performance and humanity thrive in harmony.
