Carrie Spaulding is a coach, speaker, facilitator, educator, artist, nomad, improviser, and human. Carrie pulls from this breadth and depth of experience to help humans human better.



A globally acclaimed speaker and trainer, Carrie empowers individuals, teams, and organizations to develop the soft skills, clarity, courage, conviction, and confidence they need to be who they are, do what they're here for, and venture boldly forward in an ever-changing world. Using her distinctively creative, experiential, and outside-the-box approach, Carrie facilitates real-time growth and leaves participants equipped with improved competencies, instantly applicable tools and strategies, and a feeling that development was never this much fun!

Carrie's innovative group programs The Lab and The Life Workshop help people live, work, and lead better while building connections. In her private coaching as The Thirtysomething Coach®, Carrie helps thirtysomethings break through Thirtysomething Panic and create careers, relationships, and lives they love.

In January 2018, Carrie embarked on the ultimate improvisation: a nomadic adventure, living, coaching, speaking, training, creating, and improvising all over the United States. This journey capitalizes on and continues to stretch and hone Carrie’s mastery in creating presence in the midst of disruption, fostering instant connections in a wide variety of settings, spotting and nurturing emergent opportunities, pivoting and adapting to the unexpected, embracing the “not knowing,” and finding home wherever she is.
