Carla Goldberg, Creating Confident Middle Managers Keynote Speaker from Edinburg, TX

Let’s step into our leadership roles with confidence, empathy, and effectiveness! We’ve all seen how often skilled employees are promoted into management without the proper training or support. My mission is to close this gap by equipping these new leaders with the tools and mindsets they need to excel. At the heart of my work is a belief in empathy - driven leadership - the idea that strong leaders aren’t just task-focused but are also deeply connected to their teams. This connection fosters trust, inclusivity, and innovation, all while driving better results for the organization. I provide keynote speeches, workshops, and training programs that focus on: • Leadership Skills for Middle Managers: Equipping managers with the practical tools to lead teams effectively—whether it's delegating responsibilities or creating inclusive environments. • Empathy and Vulnerability in Leadership: Helping managers break the old-school notion that vulnerability undermines authority, showing how it actually strengthens leadership. • Transforming Staff into Leaders: Guiding professionals through the challenging transition from staff to management by addressing common pitfalls like communication gaps and lack of mentorship. • DISC Training to help a team run at optimal levels, when miscommunications are drastically diminished. Whether you’re a manager trying to improve team performance or an organization looking to develop stronger leadership across your workforce, I’m here to help you build leaders who lead with both heart and strategy. BIO Leadership should be connection-driven and not task-driven. Speaker, Carla Goldberg, brings a Masters in Education: Teaching & Learning from the University of Alaska Anchorage, as well as over 15 years of experience in instructional design and training - including her current role as a Training Design Specialist at Vantage Bank - to the question, how can we cultivate more connection-driven leaders?
