Her presentation style is warm, engaging, and filled with encouraging reminders that no matter how challenging your journey is, God does not waste our pain.  It can be used as a platform to draw people to fresh faith, renewed hope, and restored joy.

Carol loves to engage with communicators who want to hone their signature keynote presentations or to summarize their content, so they’ll be prepared for media interviews and for growing their platforms. She also enjoys brainstorming about speaking topics and to coach speakers who want to develop better stage presence and delivery skills.
