CAROL SCHULTE BIOGRAPH
Carol Schulte is a global keynote speaker, author, executive coach, and founder of a company that provides experiential development programs to equip women with the mindset, skills, and tools to become braver leaders and achieve their greatest potential. Over the past decade, she’s worked with Fortune 500 companies, international associations, and high performers to empower courageous leadership, ignite bold action, and unleash full potential—both at work and in life.
Through her signature presentations, Carol blends powerful storytelling, lived experience, and practical strategies to spark not just inspiration, but real transformation. Whether she’s guiding brave conversations in boardrooms, co-facilitating a team up Mt. Kilimanjaro, or empowering teams to step up and speak out, her message is clear: the bravest thing you can do is be brave enough to be you.
With a BFA in Theatre Performance, an MA in Communication, and postgraduate certifications in coaching and mentoring, Carol brings a rare mix of stage presence, academic insight, and lived experience that makes her message real, relatable, and resonant.
She’s the author of The Brave Healing Journal, and the creator of both #50DaysToBrave and the Find Your Brave experience. A dedicated mental health advocate, she’s especially passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces that empower women—and all individuals—to show up fully, lead with courage, and get into action—one small brave step at a time. Her work helps leaders and teams shift from hesitation to action, from self-doubt to self-leadership, and from potential to performance.
Having lived and worked in 11 countries—including an ashram in India and a van in New Zealand, shaved her head for cancer research—even bungee jumped in her birthday suit—Carol brings a grounded, global perspective to every room.
She wholeheartedly believes that bravery isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you choose. When she’s not speaking or coaching, you’ll find her teaching fitness classes, volunteering at women’s shelters, or unapologetically crushing her carpool karaoke game.
