L. Carol Scott
She thought she’d be a shrink, or a professor who trained shrinks. But life
said, “No, go this way....” And right now, we ALL need “that way” urgently.
As a 2018 TEDx speaker and author, Dr. L. Carol Scott is a coach,
trainer, and keynoter who teaches that relationships are at the
heart of all our success. Clients with growth goals turn to Carol for
unexpected strategies to expand success through better relationships.
The surprise in Carol’s Self-Aware Success Strategies is their origin in her
first career of early care and education. With a BA in Child Development,
a BA in Anthropology, an MA in Early Childhood Education, and a PhD in
Developmental Psychology, Carol appears to be an unlikely success
coach, especially in a corporate world.
Yet, that early learning career is now the foundation for her astonishing
second act.
The point of pivot was when Carol ran head-long into her own past.
Working with a shrink, rather than being one, she faced her “score” of
7 from a list of 10 Adverse Childhood Experiences. Most kids don’t
survive that kind of childhood intact.
The intersections of her personal recovery and her expertise in early
brain development resulted in Carol’s unique model to revolutionize
success through relationships—from your business network, to
your family, and even to your love life. Today, as interpersonal and
cultural divides seem to grow ever deeper, Dr. Scott offers a bridge back
to sanity.
Carol’s first book, Just Be Your S.E.L.F.--Your Guide to Improving Any
Relationship, provides the basic framework and specific tools. Powerful
Development Do-Overs empower clients to clearly see and then release
relationship struggles that limit success. Finally attaining their birthright
of seven capacities meant to develop in our first seven years of life,
Carol’s clients embrace greater success through stronger, more
self-aware relationships.
