Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Dr. Carolyn Colleen. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Dr. Carolyn thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

My mission is deeply personal, rooted in my own journey of overcoming adversity and transforming my life. I’ve experienced firsthand the power of resilience, clarity, and support in navigating challenges, and I’m passionate about helping others unlock their potential and achieve breakthroughs. Through my FIERCE methodology, I empower individuals and organizations to not only succeed but thrive, living purpose-driven lives. This mission is meaningful to me because I believe in the ripple effect of positive impact—by helping others find their strength, I contribute to creating lasting, meaningful change.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m Dr. Carolyn Colleen, a speaker, author, and executive coach dedicated to helping individuals and organizations unlock their full potential through my FIERCE methodology. My work is inspired by my own journey of overcoming adversity, and I’m passionate about guiding others to thrive through clarity, resilience, and actionable strategies. I offer coaching, speaking engagements, and tools like the FIERCE Action Guide to help people create real, lasting change in their personal and professional lives. What sets me apart is my focus on transformation—turning obstacles into opportunities for growth. I’m most proud of the impact I’ve had, empowering people worldwide to break through barriers and live purpose-driven lives, making a positive ripple effect in their communities and beyond.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

The best source of new clients for me has been through keynote speaking and workshops. Sharing my message on stage has allowed me to connect with people in a meaningful way, which is why I created my speaking course, Find Your Voice, Build Speaking Confidence. This course is designed to help business owners and leaders expand their voice and gain confidence in public speaking. My goal is to help others unleash their inner speaker and share their message with the world. Through stage confidence coaching, I guide individuals in overcoming fears, building self-assurance, and owning their presence on stage.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

One story that truly illustrates my resilience comes from a time when I was a single mom, struggling to make ends meet and feeling completely overwhelmed. I hit rock bottom, both emotionally and financially, but it was in that moment that I realized I had two choices: stay stuck or fight to create a better future for myself and my daughter. I decided to fight. I developed what later became my FIERCE methodology, a step-by-step process that helped me move forward, one small action at a time. I took control of my mindset, focused on what I could change, and started rebuilding my life. That period taught me the power of resilience, and it’s what drives me to help others overcome their own challenges.
