Unbox Yourself. Lead True. Inspire Change.
How to reach Carrie

Real growth doesn't happen by accident.

It begins when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to step into their full courage.

That belief has guided my entire career.

More About Carrie
I help people grow in the moments that matter. Whether they’re leading teams, finding their voice, rebuilding confidence, or navigating change. My work centers on encouraging people to show up with courage, clarity, and intention so they can move through their work and lives with strength.

My path in HR has taken me through Fortune 500 companies, private equity, banking, consulting, and startups. I’ve supported leaders across 20+ states, coached individuals through defining seasons, and helped teams move through tough transitions when trust and communication were at risk. Those experiences have shown me how deeply people want to be understood, valued, and supported, regardless of their title.

Here's what I know: Real growth doesn't happen in comfortable spaces. It happens when people feel trusted enough to be honest, challenged enough to stretch, and supported enough to stay.

Today, I serve as Senior Vice President and Director of Human Resources for Heritage Bank of Nevada, Division of Glacier Bank. I work with executives, managers, and employees to strengthen culture, build alignment, and create healthier ways of working together. I believe culture is shaped one interaction at a time, and leadership is expressed in how we treat the people around us.

As a coach and speaker, I help people stop performing and start leading from who they actually are. I focus on moving leaders from people-pleasing to truth-telling, from managing perceptions to building trust…at work, at home, and in every relationship that matters.

KEYNOTE SPEAKING

Unboxed: Lead Without Apology

Your leaders are stuck in a box they didn’t build.

A box made of expectations, over-commitment, and constant pressure to keep everyone happy.

The result? Decision fatigue. Diminished confidence. Quiet burnout.

This keynote breaks that cycle. We challenge the belief that good leadership means consensus, and replace it with a practical approach to leading with clarity and conviction.

Attendees leave with tools to make faster decisions, communicate boundaries without guilt, and lead with calm, steady confidence that earns respect.
