124: How Quiet Achievers Can Build Visibility and Lead with Impact — with Carlee Wolfe

Serena Low speaks with Carlee Wolfe — strategist, connector, and coach with over 20 years of experience leading culture and transformation for global brands including Under Armour, Hyatt Hotels, Apollo Education Group, and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.

Carlee reflects on career pivots, leadership, and values-based growth, showing how saying yes to unexpected opportunities can open the door to transformation — both personally and professionally. Together, Serena and Carlee explore what it means to lead quietly, to honor your energy, and to show up authentically in every season of your life.

Key Topics We Discuss

• Career pivots and purpose: How saying yes to new experiences (like coaching volleyball!) reshaped Carlee’s leadership journey.
• Thriving through change: What it takes to adapt to new environments, communities, and roles with intention and curiosity.
• Living and leading by values: Using your values as an internal compass to navigate growth and align your career with what matters most.
• Introversion and energy management: Understanding your social battery and how to recharge in high-energy environments.
• Quiet leadership: Why influence doesn’t require volume — and how listening, observing, and enabling others are powerful leadership skills.
• Visibility for quiet achievers: Simple, practical ways to share your work, build recognition, and create impact without shouting about it.
