Carol's Bio

Keynote speaker and leadership consultant Dr. Carol Wheeler helps organizations stop losing good people to bad management. Through her Clarity × Connection = Commitment™ framework and two signature keynotes — Connection Is the Currency of Leadership and Reclaim Your Superpower — she equips leaders to build the clarity and connection that drives real, lasting commitment from their teams. With 25+ years in leadership education and over a decade in executive coaching and organizational consulting, Carol holds a Ph.D. in Leadership Education from Oklahoma State University and is a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. Her flagship programs — The Intentional Manager and The Team Alignment Journey — help organizations build managers worth staying for. Audiences consistently describe Carol’s sessions as “fruitful for moving forward past an organizational block” — because they leave with plans they built, not ones she handed them.
