Carlotta Taylor

Carlotta Taylor is a nationally recognized voice of resilience, justice, and radical transformation. A former acting-police sergeant, child protection detective and homicide detective turned sought-after speaker, author, and leadership coach, Taylor brings the kind of lived experience, tactical insight, and soul-stirring wisdom that captivates audiences from corporate executives and educators to trauma survivors and community leaders.

Born into adversity and raised in and out of foster care, Taylor is a survivor of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. She defied every odd stacked against her, not only becoming a protector of others in her 15-year law enforcement career but emerging as the visionary behind the global No More Flinching® movement, an unapologetic call to rise, reclaim power, and stop shrinking in the face of pain or pressure.

Taylor has led investigative teams, cracked high-profile cold cases, and trained new detectives in child abuse and homicide investigations. She now leverages that same precision and conviction to dissect injustice, motivate transformation, and coach others into purposeful leadership. Her work transcends titles, it ignites change.

Today, she delivers compelling keynotes across the U.S. and abroad, with appearances from Paris, to Cali. Her signature style? Equal parts evidence-based and emotionally charged, blending professional expertise with personal storytelling in a way that leaves no heart untouched and no audience the same.

She is the founder of No More Flinching movement, host of the No More Flinching TV Podcast, and author of the groundbreaking memoir, “No More Flinching”. Her platform gives voice to those silenced by fear and empowers audiences to turn pain into power.

Taylor holds a Master of Science in Leadership, is certified by the John Maxwell Team, and has trained countless professionals in leadership, crisis response, and trauma-informed engagement.

Her work has earned her the trust of families, advocates, media hosts, and justice-seekers worldwide. Whether delivering a keynote on overcoming adversity, leading a case review on television, or training the next generation of changemakers, Carlotta Taylor commands attention and moves people to action.

She travels with her assistant to capture the impact, amplify the message, and ensure your event leaves a lasting impression.
