Great Quotes from Carol Schulte:
[09:11] “The perfect moment will not magically arrive. ...I really
believe that comfort and growth cannot co-exist, and if you are not
growing in your life, then, you’ll not gonna feel successful.”
[14:00] “Being able to see women doing things that you never thought they could, and it becomes possible for, after that, that’s freedom powerful.”
[25:22] “Courage is not maybe an act of doing, but actually, it’s an act of being...being brave enough to be you.”
Interesting Interview Moments:
[7:24] Dr. Seuss Metaphor
Carol shares that one of her favorite books is Dr. Seuss’ Oh,
The Places You’ll Go. This book talks about the ‘waiting place’,
and she mentions the two types of waiting which are: those that are
in our control and those that are out of our control. According to
her, those moments which are in our control are more detrimental to
us.
[9:48] Women’s Bravery
On bravery, she mentioned that both men and women are brave.
However, women have a harder time compared to men because women
spend more time analyzing, thinking things through, taking care of
everyone around them, and building relationships.
[10:53] The Three Bravery Killers
The three bravery killers enumerated by Carol are Perfectionism,
People-Pleasing, and Procrastinating. These are big things for
women. Women have to be conscious when they are giving in to one of
these bravery killers so they can recognize it. Upon recognizing,
they have to do things differently.
[11:35] Making a Difference through Public Speaking and Women
Empowerment
There are two things that give a huge rush to Carol, and these are
public speaking and giving empowerment to women through different
events like skydiving and surfing. Public speaking enables her to
create ‘aha’ moments that are powerful while her events with women
make her experience confidence and celebration.
[14:11] Carol as the Forefront of Transformation, a
Cheerleader
Though she can transform the lives of women, Carol mentions that
it’s the people themselves who are catalysts of the change. She
also says that she is more of a cheerleader, and her mom is her
best cheerleader. She then narrated her lowest moment, and that's
the death of her beloved mother. Carol even shared about the lost
bangle which is her connection to her.
[23:34] The Lady’s Vlog
Carol speaks about her vlog for it shares what it means to be brave
and courageous. She excitedly tells her bungee jumping
experience...in her birthday suit! She mentions that her vlog sends
the message that the biggest act of courage is to be yourself.
[27:09] Carol on Pressure, Social Media, and Depression
Here, Carol stresses that we should be conscious of our mental
health. She also says that exposure to social media can cause
pressure and may result in depression. She mentions that social
media is not real and that we should not compare yourself to what’s
posted there.
[32:26] Carol as Master of Travel
She passionately says that the people whom she met in her travel
are the ones that make her travel unique and special. Travel makes
her curious and leads her to do something a bit different. At this
point in time, Carol does not travel in order to escape. Now, it’s
more on work and to make a magical relationship.
[39:40] Carol Looking Forward
Carol looks forward to finishing her book in the next six months,
and she will also be launching a brave leadership program in
October. She plans to work with twelve women for six months.
