Creating intentional and psychologically safe spaces for all so we can explore the tough questions and ‘name’ that which might be difficult to investigate on one’s own. As Dr. Brené Brown illustrates: taking off the armor so we can tap into the good stuff. The vulnerable stuff. That’s when we grow.

With over 25 years of coaching and leadership experience, Cara is a passionate advocate for leadership focused on shared goals and coalition building using the CliftonStrengths® assessment as the driving force and tool for both personal and professional development.

Earning a Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology and a Master’s in Education with a concentration in Social Justice Education, Cara served almost 20 years in the public education sector with the last half in Student Services, both at the school level and central office. Cara saw first-hand the need for more post-secondary options for skilled trades training, leadership development woven throughout curriculum, and personal accountability especially regarding financial literacy.

Cara believes in using the CliftonStrengths® assessment when used with intention towards creating a culture of strengths, rather than a one-time experience. Everyone has talents they bring to their communities and organizations, no matter their title
