Speaker. Storyteller. Rebalance Guide.

Unlocking the Power of Choice to: Rebalance Your Life
Leave a Legacy that Matters

I'm not just a speaker—I'm a seasoned leader who has lived what I teach. I bring audiences into real conversations about leadership, identity, and the cost of always doing more.

My signature talk, The Rebalancing Act™, delivers a powerful mindset shift for ambitious professionals caught in the hustle spiral. I reframe rebalance as a leadership skill, not a luxury. With engaging storytelling, research-backed insights, and practical tools, I help teams and leaders reclaim clarity, boundaries, and purpose—without sacrificing performance.

I speak the language of business and the human experience. That's why my message resonates across functions, industries, and levels—from C-suite leaders to rising talent. I don't offer empty motivation. I offer a path forward.

WHY I DO THIS WORK:

My purpose is simple: to be a difference-maker. I help high-achieving people surrender the myth of perfection, trust in their path, and lead lives rooted in intention. Through rebalancing, they rediscover their energy, their voice, and their joy. That's the kind of success that truly matters—and that's the legacy I'm committed to helping others build.

REAL PRESENCE:
Influence from the Inside Out
Executive presence isn't about ego—it's about alignment.

Lead with clarity. Communicate with conviction.

In high-stakes environments, presence is often mistaken for charisma or control. But true executive presence comes from something deeper: self-awareness, clarity, and the ability to lead from your values—not your volume.

In this keynote, Carol Enneking redefines presence for modern leaders. Drawing from decades in corporate leadership and talent development, she offers a grounded, practical framework for showing up with confidence, without posturing or performance.

  • Develop a clear, compelling leadership narrative that connects across all levels

Ideal Audiences:

  • Senior and emerging leaders stepping into more visibility

  • Anyone navigating high-stakes leadership moments

THE POWER SHIFT:
From Overlooked to Influential

Rebalancing voice, value, and visibility to lead with intention.

Step into visibility. Own your value. Amplify your impact.

Power doesn't have to mean ego, authority, or control. It can mean presence. Choice. Influence. And the courage to lead from your values—even in rooms that weren't built for you.

In this keynote, Carol Enneking helps leaders at all levels break through the invisible dynamics that keep them quiet, second-guessing, or stuck in the background. Drawing on decades of executive experience, Carol offers both practical tools and empowering mindset shifts to help professionals step fully into their leadership—without needing to be loud, perfect, or performative.

This keynote equips audiences to:

  • Identify the patterns—internal and external—that can hold them back
  • Learn how to advocate for themselves with clarity and confidence
  • Cultivate relationships that open doors and elevate impact

Ideal for those who are navigating a new leadership role, feeling overlooked in their current role, or are ready to stop playing small, this talk offers a clear and empowering path forward—one rooted in intention, not ego.
