Carolina Caro

Carolina Caro believes in the power of subtraction.

In times of uncertainty, the instinct is to add more strategies to already full plates. That tends to produce overwhelm rather than effectiveness. The real leverage point is exploring what gets in the way.

After years of coaching C-suite executives and leadership teams across industries, Caro identified that what limits leaders is a continued reliance on identity patterns that no longer fit the demands they face today.

Caro's signature approach, The Unlearning Advantage, helps leaders and organizations let go of the patterns that limit performance, erode culture and prevent lasting change. Caro's work guides leaders and teams to unlearn the patterns that shape how they show up. Change sticks because it starts at the root.

A former HIV research scientist who held leadership roles at Merck and Pfizer before training as an actor at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, Caro has lived the unlearning she asks of leaders. Caro set aside a known identity to discover what was possible on the other side.

She is the founder and CEO of Conscious Leadership Partners, where she leads a team of coaches and facilitators delivering leadership academies, workshops, retreats and executive and team coaching.

Caro has worked with leaders at NASA, the FBI, Warner Bros., Kaiser Permanente and McDonald's. Caro holds a Master of Science and a Master of Business Administration and is a Certified Speaking Professional, CSP, conferred by the National Speakers Association and a Professional Certified Coach, PCC, with the International Coaching Federation.

Caro is a citizen of Canada, the United States and the European Union and is fluent in English, Spanish and French. She brings a global perspective to how leaders evolve beyond the patterns that once defined their success.
