From Executive Coaching to Board Service: Samantha Carroll’s Vision for Women Leaders
Description
In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Kevin sits down with Samantha Carroll, co-founder of Light Her Way and an executive leadership coach with over 20 years of experience in communications, consulting, and storytelling.
Samantha shares her journey from media and management consulting to executive coaching, and how that path led to the creation of Board of Advisors, a flagship cohort program designed to help women leaders prepare for board service. She breaks down how women can build board readiness, overcome imposter syndrome, and strategically position themselves for nonprofit, private, and public board roles.
The conversation dives into building coaching programs, pricing with intention, creating proof of concept, and balancing mission with profitability. Samantha also discusses the power of community, visibility through LinkedIn and webinars, and why human connection, not automation, is the heart of effective coaching.
If you’re a coach, consultant, or woman leader thinking about board service, this episode is packed with insight, strategy, and inspiration.
