CAROLINE LEACH | SHORT BIO

Hi, I’m Caroline Leach. I help people and organizations tell their stories and create the future.

I’m the founder of The Carrelle Company, providing executive coaching and personal branding services for people to grow their careers and business owners to grow their companies.

It developed from my writing, researching and speaking about how professionals can build their careers through social media, based on this blog that I launched on New Year’s Day 2015.

Previously I was a VP of Marketing at AT&T and VP of Corporate Communications at DIRECTV. I’m a proud alum of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

This blog, How to Build Your Career through Social Media, shows you how to build your personal brand, advance your career or business and embrace your future through social media.

Your comments are welcomed and encouraged. I’d love to hear from you!

 

PRAISE

“Caroline Leach is my go-to person for advice on all things social media. She is a great listener, and her expertise in the field helped me take my LinkedIn profile to the next level. I would highly recommend Caroline to professionals who are seeking to make a more meaningful impact through their social networks.”  – Global Corporate Communications Leader

“I was asked to give a presentation at an industry convention of several hundred attorneys. Truth be told, I was terrified. A friend suggested that I consult with Caroline. We immediately clicked. I loved her energy and enthusiasm. The presentation couldn’t have gone better, and I consider Caroline a critical reason for my success. She helped me organize the presentation, tighten it up, and improve my PowerPoint slides. She also shared very practical speaking and presenting tips. By the end of our last session together, I felt confident and ready to go. Caroline also provided guidance on how to promote my presentation on social media in the weeks leading up to it. I am very grateful to Caroline and wholeheartedly recommend her services” – Multimillion-Dollar Personal Injury Attorney

“I had a great experience with Caroline. She’s insightful, well versed in the space, and very generous with her knowledge. In addition to coaching, she shared several resources that have been extremely valuable to how I approach social media. She’s great listener; I felt like she focused her coaching and information on my specific needs, and not a generic mold. Her guidance is helping me develop and grow my social media presence.” – Emmy-Award-Winning Meteorologist

“Caroline Leach’s presentation to our 200+ CEOs at our annual management company CEO retreat was very much appreciated and well-received. Several of the CEOs in attendance told me how interesting and beneficial her presentation was on social media for their businesses. Caroline’s session was in the top three for clicks on her profile in the mobile app, and the planning committee thought she hit a home run.” – David Jennings, Vice President, Education, Community Associations Institute
