Carol Williams:

Rethinking Strength

A candid look at how persistence can be a double-edged sword and the mindset shifts that lead to authentic success.

Bio

Hard work has driven my success, from excelling in school to running half marathons, fighting wildfires, and building a business during a recession. Recently, I’ve combined intuition with productivity, reflected in my Productivity Cake—a framework for balance and success. Listening to the Voice Within—God—is life’s greatest secret.

My purpose is helping others uncover their talents and live their purpose. As “Courageous Carol,” I empower clients to achieve the impossible, creating ripple effects of success. I believe life, like a cake recipe, evolves with added and subtracted ingredients, but core values remain, making success a continuous, transformative process.
