Caroline answered these questions:
What’s your advice for a successful business?
By all means, embrace the shoulder pads, but being vulnerable as a female leader takes bravery and strength. It took me years to believe this, but real leadership is about authenticity as much as it is about confidence.
What motivates you as an entrepreneur?
It is the creation of services and products that there is no playbook for, which keeps me stimulated. Building something new, something that does not yet exist, is both the challenge and the reward.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Your accent is beautiful; don’t change it. It is part of who you are and it carries your story.
