I am a seasoned culture change expert who travels the world, inspiring and advising leaders and teams on what it will take from them to build the culture they need to achieve their business goals.

A culture leadership expert to inspire your leaders

What others say about the impact I have had on their organisations.

  • I owe a lot to Carolyn Taylor, both personally and as a leader of my company. She helped me to realize the real meaning and the enormous importance of culture in a company. Not the culture written in a sentence placed on the wall, but the one effectively perceived and practiced by leaders who "walk the talk". For me, this made all the difference.

    Candido Bracher, Presidente, Itau-Unibanco, Brazil

  • "Carolyn’s unique approach in driving individual and collective accountability helped me and my team discover new levels of ambition and outpace the speed of change in the US healthcare environment."

    Fabrice Chouraqui, President US, Novartis Pharmaceuticals

  • "Carolyn and her approach is packed with energy, enthusiasm and a ‘can-do’ attitude ...."

    Professor Lynda Gratton, London Business School

  • "Carolyn played a critical role in our culture change journey - she challenged us, encouraged us to be bold and inspired us all to think differently."

    David Thodey, Chairman CSIRO, retired CEO Telstra

  • "Carolyn was instrumental in helping the management team come together to function as one aligned leadership unit."

    Shalesh Rao, former MD Google India

  • "Carolyn Taylor was a huge influence on us. Leaders cast a long shadow and we learnt that our behaviour was influencing the organisation in ways we never knew."

    Kevin Russell, CEO 3UK

Transform and build better corporate cultures

Who Am I

I have guided some of the best companies in the world to transform and build better corporate cultures.  I have advised their leaders on how to adjust their own patterns of behaviour to shape these changes. Today I am taking that mission wider as I share the thought processes, insights and techniques that will enable all individuals to grow within their businesses.  In turn, as you manage your own development journey, you will feel your own efforts on culture generate success and achievement at the company level. My public speaking, my book and my weekly podcasts share the insights and learnings from working closely with over 100,000 leaders, from hundreds of blue-chip organisations around the world.

 

As a pioneer in this field, I have unique experience in personally delivering over 200 culture change journeys in 35 countries.  I have advised on more than 15 mergers and acquisitions and I have personally coached more than 60 CEOs. I think it’s fair to say I have a well-informed perspective on what works – and what doesn’t – when it comes to leading culture change!

 

I’ve researched, invented and built what clients tell me is the most practical, do-able approach to culture change and personal growth. I wrote the first practical guide on how to change corporate culture – ‘Walking the Talk: Building a Culture for Success.’ which continues to be the book leaders turn to today when they want encouragement that culture change is really do-able.  Available on Amazon, you can search for ‘Walking the Talk: Building a Culture for Success’ and download as an e-book, or buy the printed version.

 

Through my speaking engagements, my social media, my books and my podcasts, I am extending thoughts and conversations on these vital topics and helping others in their journey. If you would like to listen to my podcasts on Spotify or iTunes, please search for: ‘Walking Your Talk – Carolyn Taylor’.
