Why not you? How to set your own beat in a man’s world:
Did you know that only 22% of artists in the top-ranking music lists are women? Given the lack of representation in music careers, have you ever asked yourself, ‘is it the behaviors that set us back from the competitive landscape?’
In this presentation, Carina brings her 15+ years of experience creating her own beat (and missteps too) in both corporate and music careers to the forefront.
This practical keynote will ignite your audiences to start identifying the most common mistakes they might be making when working in male dominated fields. From her time as a young professional in a Fortune 500 company to years of hustling as a DJ to be taken seriously, Carina uses real life testimonials and personal encounters to bridge the gap between the ‘way things have always been’ into the power of fostering equity in all spaces.
Carina will equip top talent with “ready-to-use” strategic behaviors that they can apply today to accelerate their career and be a successful change agent in a man’s world. After all, why not you?

A Reality Check for Women in Leadership:
Do you know the percentage of women-owned businesses hired by your organization for last year?
To be fair, we couldn’t even tell you. This information is highly confidential, and would potentially reveal the truth and misalignment with your brand’s public perception.
With great power comes great responsibility, and in this presentation, Carina challenges executives to dig into the reality behind their mission and supplier diversity spend. Learn how to align your corporate goals with true, transparency-based actions that create long term economic growth for women owned businesses.
This exciting talk mobilizes audiences to reflect on their “why”, and use their leverage to create long term impact by increasing women-owned diversity spend before it’s too late.
