About

Welcome to Carolynn Coach! I’m Carol Hargett, a passionate leadership coach, trainer, and speaker dedicated to helping individuals and organizations unlock their full potential and create lasting success. With over 25 years of experience in leadership development, communication, emotional intelligence, and team building, I’ve had the privilege of transforming the lives and careers of countless professionals and teams. My mission is simple: to empower people to lead with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.

My Journey

I grew up in a military family, which meant learning how to adapt to diverse cultures and environments from a young age. This unique upbringing taught me resilience, flexibility, and the value of connecting with people on a deep and meaningful level—skills that have been at the core of my professional life. These experiences ignited my passion for helping others navigate change, overcome obstacles, and thrive, no matter their circumstances.

After earning my Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin, I embarked on a diverse career spanning industries like advertising, marketing, sales, finance, and entrepreneurship. Each step of my journey has equipped me with the tools, insights, and practical strategies I now use to help others succeed. From running my own marketing firm to leading teams in the finance world, I’ve gained a wealth of real-world experience that I bring into my coaching practice.

My Coaching Philosophy

At the heart of my work is the belief that personal and professional growth are interconnected. I’ve seen firsthand how the skills we develop in one area can profoundly impact the other. That’s why I work holistically with my clients, addressing not only their professional goals but also helping them cultivate the mindset, emotional intelligence, and communication skills necessary for a fulfilling, balanced life.

As a Maxwell Leadership Executive Program Leader and DISC Certified Consultant, I offer a range of coaching services tailored to the needs of both individuals and organizations. Whether it’s helping an executive team develop stronger leadership capabilities, guiding entrepreneurs to scale their businesses, or coaching individuals to become more confident and effective communicators, my approach is always customized to fit the unique challenges and opportunities my clients face.

Empowering Organizations for Success

For businesses, I specialize in designing leadership and team-building programs that drive productivity, improve employee engagement, and foster a healthy company culture. My training programs, rooted in John Maxwell’s proven leadership principles, empower organizations to build resilient, high-performing teams that are equipped to navigate the complexities of today’s business environment. From leadership workshops like “Living the Laws of Leadership” to customized sessions focused on emotional intelligence, I help businesses cultivate leaders who inspire, motivate, and drive real change.

Through DISC assessments and other leadership tools, I provide deep insights into team dynamics, helping leaders understand how to better communicate, manage conflict, and create a more inclusive workplace. These programs don’t just improve performance—they build a foundation for long-term success by transforming how teams work together and how leaders lead.

Guiding Individual Growth

For individuals, my coaching focuses on helping you realize your full potential. Whether you’re an emerging leader, a seasoned executive, or someone looking to make a meaningful change in your personal or professional life, my one-on-one coaching provides the tools, strategies, and support you need to thrive. I’ll work with you to define your goals, break through obstacles, and create a clear roadmap for success.

I believe that authenticity is the key to great leadership and personal fulfillment. That’s why I help my clients not just develop skills but also connect deeply with their values, purpose, and strengths. Whether it’s improving communication, enhancing emotional intelligence, or developing stronger leadership habits, my goal is to help you lead with integrity and confidence.

My Values and Approach

What truly sets me apart is my ability to connect with clients on a personal level. I understand that leadership and personal development are deeply personal journeys, and I’m committed to being a partner in that process. My coaching style is both empathetic and results-driven, combining compassionate support with the practical tools you need to achieve tangible results.

I’m also deeply invested in my community and passionate about making a difference beyond the workplace. Whether serving on nonprofit boards or contributing to my faith community, I strive to use my skills and experiences to uplift and support others. But my greatest joy comes from my two wonderful children, who continue to teach me more about leadership, communication, and life than any professional experience ever could.
