Summary

Carrie Wilkerson, daughter of a pastor, sang in her father’s church almost every week. At age 10, her dad told her, “It’s time for you to introduce your song and tell a story, not just sing and sit down. It's time for you to stop performing and time for you to start leading.” She protested. “I’m a singer, not a talker on stage!”  Today she leads with her words as a best-selling author and speaker, showing people how to transform their lives, relationships and bank accounts through core values and goal-setting. Her book, “The Barefoot Executive,” is a best-seller.
