Carla's Bio

Carla Harris is the CEO of The People Institute, a training and coaching firm that helps nonprofits, corporations, and government agencies fix what's actually broken in their leadership pipelines and team dynamics. With over 25 years in people development, leadership training, and executive coaching, she brings a direct, no-fluff approach to organizations ready to build teams that actually work. She speaks to nonprofit leaders, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and board members on the real issues holding organizations back: disengaged boards, founder dependency, fragile leadership pipelines, and teams stuck in circular meetings. She also coaches individuals through the personal side of growth, and speaks directly to women navigating leadership and empowerment. As a woman, a single mom, and a 30-year entrepreneur, Carla doesn't just teach leadership. She's lived every hard lesson in it, and she brings the 'aha' moments to the stage.
