Carol Ross is an executive coach with a passion for developing “emotionally fit” leaders and human workplaces. With two engineering degrees from Northwestern, she worked in the nuclear power and telecom industries for nearly 20 years. In 2002, a call came with the opportunity of a lifetime—a former boss gave her a heads up that she was being laid off. Carol went back to school to become a career coach and made the transition from employee to self-employed. Carol’s advice has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, US News and World Report, and Whole Living. Carol lives near Boulder, CO with her NU sweetheart, Chip.
