Caroline Berglund
Hi! I’m Caroline. I’m a writer, speaker, storyteller, painter, road map-maker, novice calligrapher, lover of 4am’er’, mother, partner and philosopher. People tell me I sparkle when I work, so who am I to disagree, it’s a decent enough descriptor if you ask me. I’m a questioner, fascinated by what makes leaders tick, I’m a challenger, talker of all things communication, philanthropist, curriculum designer, lover of the Greek philosopher, squeezer of the last year of my 40s like a dog with her favourite squeaky toy. I’ve spent ½ of the last 25 years in the corporate world and the other ½ as a philosopher and entrepreneur. As a corporate rat racer - I’ve held a sales bag slogging cereal, I’ve been a global sales trainer helping account managers figure out how to pump out more gum into the world, I've led sales teams throughout Western Canada, I’ve consulted in every industry I’m certain (okay, not in politics but I do have a minor in poly sci from 27 years ago so that must make me qualified to call up Trudeau for my next gig), I’ve led teams, I’ve been on teams, I've had superb bosses, I've had horrible bosses, I've been highly engaged and have been actively disengaged at times too, I've had great team mates, seen some doozies too. I know what corporate life looks like inside out, upside down.
