CARRIE MELISSA AS A LEADER

Carrie defines success by the positive impacts she creates on those around her. She aims to cultivate an environment that acts as a place of healing, where positive influences ripple outward, affecting broader community interactions. This approach reflects her belief in the profound influence of leadership on group dynamics and individual experiences, emphasizing the responsibility of leaders to act consciously and constructively.

Leadership is not control.

Great Leaders rest.

The future of leadership is co-creative.

GREAT LEADERS MUST BRIDGE DIVIDES AND CREATE BELONGING.

CARRIE ON NAVIGATING UNCERTAINTY AND COMMUNITY BUILDING

As a leader focusing on empathy, teamwork, collaboration, and coaching, the most difficult part for Carrie is sitting in uncertainty. This new generation of leadership must accept that there are no easy answers and no single pathway. There are endless options, and one leader cannot explore them all. Therefore, it is crucial for leaders to also be community builders, bringing together diverse perspectives and fostering an environment of co-creation and mutual support.

CARRIE ON OVERCOMING DISCONNECTION AND BUILDING BELONGING

In the US, massive disconnection, loneliness, and political divides are pressing issues. Carrie believes that great leaders must bridge these divides and create a sense of belonging in this environment. By fostering connections and community, leaders can help navigate these troubled times. Carrie's work in community building and her dedication to creating inclusive spaces exemplify this approach, demonstrating the power of bringing people together to overcome societal challenges.

I FREQUENTLY ASK MYSELF IF WHAT I'M DOING IS SOMETHING I WOULD WANT MY DAUGHTER TO EMULATE. THIS HAS BEEN AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR GAINING CLARITY.
