Biography & Author's Journey
Carson Tate built her career at the intersection of psychology, organizational development, and workplace performance. Born and raised in South Carolina, she studied psychology at Washington and Lee University in Virginia, later earning a master’s degree in organization development and a coaching certificate from the McColl School of Business at Queens University in Charlotte. Her early work in human resources and sales at Fortune 200 companies exposed her to a culture of long hours and visible burnout. That experience became a decisive turning point. In later interviews, she described realizing that ambition did not have to come at the cost of energy, purpose, or health, and that insight eventually led her to launch her own consulting practice.
