Hustle Grind Shine & Reignite with Jessica Hartley

Even as a child, Kailei Carr could never fit into one box or only be focused on just one thing. All of her experiences along her journey have prepared her for many of the biggest roles in her life, including being a champion and coach focused on empowering women of color in leadership. Kailei Carr is CEO of The Asbury Group, host of the Beyond the Business Suit Podcast, and Executive Director of the Information Technology Senior Management Forum (ITSMF) Emerge Women’s Academy. In this episode, we start early on in Kailei’s life as a bit of a nomad as her family followed her mother’s corporate career rise, to her early corporate career journey, to finding her passion and purpose as a champion of women in leadership, and having the opportunity to lean into her creative energy every single day.

In this episode we cover:

• The profound impact that role models can have in empowering and also impacting the direction of your career
• Why career coaching and supporting women in their leadership journeys, especially women of color, is “healing work” and an opportunity to give back
• Tips and advice for budding and even season entrepreneurs in navigating your first few years to gain traction with your small business
