From Harvard to Haiti to Healing: Tools to Navigate Your Career – From a Recovered Corporate Lawyer

Sarah D Carlson is a self-advocacy expert, an inspirational speaker, an adjunct professor, and a woman on a mission. She began her journey after graduating from Harvard Law School, taking a job on Wall Street but quickly rejecting that professional life for a more wholehearted existence.
 
Sarah left her job and health insurance as a Wall Street attorney and never looked back. Instead, she chose to volunteer.
 
While living in a tent and building schools and water filters in Haiti, she reconnected with her values and returned to become a career coach and adjunct professor at a top 25 law school. There, Sarah coached individual law students, created coursework to help students identify their professional strengths, interests, and values, and taught the invaluable tools of self-advocacy.
 
Her course was made mandatory for first-year students. Next, she had the privilege of working with purpose-driven students at Candler School of Theology, and she is now working to integrate this coursework at Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering for their master's populations.
 
Finally, she started Career Transformation University to share her coursework, coaching, and wisdom with the world.
