Carolyn Friedman has emerged from a career helping others achieve their professional and life missions. She founded ReadyLaunchPRO to provide career coaching services that support young adults in their transition from college credits to career calling.

Carolyn has more than nine years of professional workforce development experience and is a Certified Workforce Development Professional (CWDP). She knows first-hand how overwhelming an early career journey can be, having helped her own children navigate the process.

Throughout her career, Carolyn has helped diverse populations overcome their personal and professional barriers. From non-profit and corporate leaders to people from different ethnicities, cultures, economic statuses, and differing abilities, she believes that focusing on opportunities, rather than obstacles, is the best way to achieve lasting success in life.
