Within 30 minutes she had hit exactly on what the source of my issue was. Amazing!!! She guided me through it & gave me actionable solutions. I can't tell you what a positive force in my life she has been. I have never met anyone with the innate ability to find your issue & walk you through it with a sense of peace & tranquility. So important in my life!!! Thank you.”

Carolyn provided me with numerous tools for realizing my full potential as an artist, and as a human being.”

Working with Carolyn has not only helped with my professional relationships, they have also given me the ability to enjoy my friends and family more. I now have the opportunity to focus on being present and genuine in each area of my life. She's an inspiration and I am so grateful for our time together.”

"I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Carolyn Paris on several key projects and events. She is professional, intelligent, detail-oriented and has a wealth of knowledge. I consider her a “consulting engineer” because she’s a specialist in both financial and business matters coupled with her unique qualities such as her sincerity, sophistication, and fun-spirited manner. Ms. Carolyn thoughtfully considered the well-being of each member of our team and I am fortunate that I had numerous opportunities to work with this inspiring, artistic lady!”
— A. H. | Bank Manager
“Carolyn Paris is first a great friend, and then I was able to engage her as a consultant. She recently resurfaced in my life at a time when I was emotionally and physically drained. She spent sessions helping me gain self confidence, self esteem and shared with me reasons why I needed to take care of me first so that I could be more equipped to help others. She also helped me realize that some of the responsibilities I was carrying weren’t necessarily mine to carry and suggested I might want to pass some of them onto others insuring me they were equipped to handle them. I believe Carolyn’s business fits her to a tee. She has a wonderful disposition, attitude and she can organize things in your life that you are too close to. She is filled with integrity and genuineness. I thank her for helping get my life back on track.”
— L.S. | Account Executive
“In the short time that I have worked with Carolyn, I have learned many new concepts and terms. For example, “Being in and out of integrity” was a phrase that I had not heard before, but exploring its meaning has allowed me to learn things about myself (favorable and otherwise!) that I didn’t know existed. Carolyn regularly pushes me outside of my comfort zone – and although admittedly oftentimes making me feel very uneasy, this too has led to some fresh perspectives on what I want from the remainder of my career and even from my life. But my primary take-away from Carolyn has likely been the many “down to earth” ideas and solutions that she provides on a regular basis to tackle the daily challenges that arise in both the work place and at home.”
— Kelly Klug | CFO Columbia Insurance Group
“Thank you, Carolyn for hosting an excellent training on consumer values for the Missouri Women's Business Center clients! We received excellent feedback on the training. Your energy and positivity is contagious! Thank you and we look forward to having you again.”
—Jessie Yankee | Director Missouri Women's Business Center
“Even in a virtual environment, Carolyn had our entire group hanging on her every word. With cameras on you could see our audience’s heads nodding along as she inspired us to trust ourselves, listen to what our bodies are telling us, and to be brave in admitting we aren’t perfect. Her message is one that everyone deserves to hear. “
— Michele Curry | Treasury Management Officer, Commerce Bank
”Carolyn did a great job pivoting to the ZOOM platform for our virtual Women’s Network Professional Development event. She was professional and introspective, which motivated many of our WN members during this unprecedented time. Our WN members continue to be inspired by her words.”
— Matt McCormick | President & CEO Columbia Chamber of Commerce
“Carolyn Paris is the type of person that constantly pulls greatness out of others. In the past few years she helped guide me through a time in my life that required great perseverance and patients. During that time, she helped me realize that it was time to challenge myself and seek more fulfillment in my professional life. Carolyn helped walk me through current situations that tested my levelheadedness, guided me toward the big picture, and never let me sell myself short.
There is something about her that has always made me feel appreciated and important when we speak. After every discussion, I walked away feeling confident and excited for the next step in my journey. One gift Carolyn possesses is the ability to pick up on any insecurities or hesitations. Multiple times she could hear something in our conversations and would ask me why or what are you scared of? Many times I was not even aware of those insecurities, but by bringing them to my attention, we were able to address those issues. Once they were recognized, we worked out a plan on how to deal with those concerns and take away any doubt I might have previously possessed. I believe what sets Carolyn apart from others is her ability to offer tools and actions to make your goals a reality. Many times we get that “pep talk” or words of encouragement, but no real way to create action. Carolyn has always given me tools to take the next step and achieve the goals set for myself. I truly believe that Carolyn Paris is gifted at helping others reach their full potential.”
