Sarah D. Carlson Biography
Sarah D. Carlson is a speaker, CEO, and career transformation coach who helps professionals reclaim their power and purpose through the art of self-advocacy. After graduating from Harvard Law School and launching a high-powered career on Wall Street, Carlson walked away to live in a tent in Haiti and reconnect with what truly matters. That journey led her to become a professor of professional development at top universities, where her content on self-advocacy has been made mandatory for graduate students at Emory, Mercer, and Duke universities.
Carlson speaks across the country on claiming your voice, leading with integrity, and designing a career that reflects your values. Her forthcoming book, "The Five Principles of Effective Self-Advocacy," distills her proven framework into a powerful guide for anyone feeling stuck or underseen.
