It is my mission and my passion to change how and why we work.

I first started working with Carson at a pivotal point in my career – literally, my first day in a new role. I had just been promoted to Chief of Staff, so it was a transitional time for not only me, but also my boss, our CEO.  She taught me to do the biggest things first and fast. She helped me realize how much I needed my personal organizational systems and priorities working flawlessly through this transition – and that’s been the key strategy from her that’s been paying dividends in not only the day-to-day of my role, but also how I feel and know that I’m making a significant impact. Carson met with me on my own turf, but pushed me in a way that made me appreciate all that this process was capable of creating for me.

My experience with Carson Tate is two-fold: I had the unique opportunity to learn from Carson personally and to watch her present at Queens University’s Employment Development Day. I can attest to the fact that, in both situations, she was not only the right person who offered helpful solutions and answers that I needed for my own productivity questions, and but also she’s someone who shared those answers, strategies, and her vast and practical knowledge in a down-to-Earth, approachable, very human way. Her presentation, Work Smarter, Not Harder, received rave reviews from employees. We heard that her approach served valuable takeaways, and that she personally was an engaging and effective speaker with great energy.

I met Carson Tate at a board retreat for Leadership Charlotte. She conducted a session on time management, more specifically (and more importantly) – making the best use of the time that we have.  This session had a powerful impact on me; so much so that I wanted to continue having conversations with her regarding how I could be more effective in the use of my time. My work with Carson and the strategies she taught me transformed the way I think about my time – not only how I allocate it, but also how I get clear on what I do, how I seek significance, and how my time management impacts both.  I am grateful to Carson for becoming, unbeknownst to either of us, my professional and life spirit guide.

I not only enjoyed her spark and ability to connect, but also her broad range of productivity strategies that I knew she could bring to the Belk community. She asks the right questions to get to an outcome-based solution quickly.  As a result, our teams are using their productivity tools with a stronger impact. Carson understands the context of our environment, our culture, and our people. So much so, that she stays in touch with me and continually offers to us fresh ways to stay efficient. With Carson, I have a deep, valuable knowledge set, but, more importantly, a partner in my success.
