Carolyn Coughlin is a co-founder, Director, and Board Co-Chair of Cultivating Leadership, a leadership consultancy whose mission it is to help leaders and organizations thrive in complexity. She is the co-author of Unleash Your Complexity Genius from Stanford University Press, an expression of her decades of passion and practice with developing approaches that help leaders to find and grow their inner capacity to lead in a complex world. Carolyn designs and runs leadership programs, works with teams, and coaches leaders at all levels based on these approaches. Perhaps her greatest passion, though, is the working with other coaches. She is the co-founder and a lead facilitator of Growth Edge Coaching and is on the faculty of the Institute of Transformational Learning at Georgetown University.
Carolyn’s professional journey began in the corporate world, where she was a management consultant first at Price Waterhouse and later at McKinsey and Company. For the last 25 years, she has split her time between her life on the campus of a boarding school in New Jersey and a little cabin in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York, where she and her husband raised three now young-adult children.
