Esteemed entrepreneur Shawn Fair is one of the most sought-after consultants for major corporations all over the United States, Canada, and Europe. He has techniques that help leaders identify their blind spots, and he teaches these techniques through genuine and personal coaching and training services. He has trained over 300,000 leaders all over the world through his highly impactful Leadership Experience Tour, and this time he has set his sights on Dr. Elizabeth A. Carter, choosing her as a speaker for the much-awaited event.
Dr. Elizabeth A. Carter is an empowered woman. She is the Director of Finance for a health insurance company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is also a speaker, trainer, publisher, coach, and a four-time Best-Selling Author. Her mission is to “break the eight percent” through her company AAPPEAL, LLC. The company was established in 2016, which aims to embody its core principles of “Absolute Passion for Performance, Engagement, Analytics, and Leadership.”
Dr. Carter has taken it upon herself to empower other ambitious African American women much like herself. Her goal is to make them feel that they are seen in the workplace and be more “appealing” to their companies. She makes sure to enable clarity of how these four pillars are necessary for the trajectory of one’s career. Her tips, tools, and resources illuminate the presence and increase the exposure of her clients.
A worrying trend shows that less than 8% of Black and African American individuals hold managerial roles in various organizations. Dr. Elizabeth A. Carter hopes to move the needle on this trend and push the boundaries of what people of color can do to help an organization flourish.
Born with a diverse family background, Dr. Elizabeth A. Carter has a Caribbean father and a Southern mother. She was raised with good family values that were rooted in working hard and working smart so that she would be treated equally. She grew up with the thought that mediocrity should never be an option. This mindset and positive work ethic have been the major driving force in Dr. Carter’s world-renowned career.
As an empowered woman, she has equipped herself with the skills and knowledge to succeed in her craft. She holds an MS in education, an MBA in management, and a BBA in marketing. Furthermore, she holds the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter designation and is a Distinguished Toastmaster, making her a perfect fit as a speaker for Shawn Fair’s Leadership Experience Tour.
With over 25 years of work experience in corporate settings within the finance industry, Dr. Elizabeth A. Carter has had the opportunity of leading, mentoring, and developing others in the areas of strategy, financial analysis, performance improvement, and talent development in both profit and non-profit organizations. In addition to serving on several non-profit boards, Dr. Carter holds a PhD in education specializing in training and performance improvement from Capella University.
As a best-selling author, her inspirational books, presentations and keynotes are centered around leading oneself and others. Her reflection and action planning LEAP book series focuses on “Gaining A.C.C.E.S.S.” where access has a double meaning. The dictionary definition states that access is a way to gain entry, while the acronym means “Activities Critical to Continuous Evolution and Success for Self.” Dr. Carter also published her father’s books, “A Black First” in 2020 and the sequel “A Black First: The Blackness Continues” in 2021.
In the near future, Dr. Elizabeth A. Carter hopes to achieve a higher-level position in an organization so she could bring other people along with her to the top. She envisions herself spreading her positive message through an even bigger platform as she continues to speak, write, and coach thousands of people to move closer to their true calling and achieve their dreams of success.
