After leaving Nike,  Carle founded Carle Consulting LLC, providing strategic marketing advice to consumer products companies. She earned an executive coaching certification and enjoys working with emerging leaders* from a variety of sectors.From start-up to Fortune 500, director to c-suite, her objective is simple—leverage individual strengths to achieve clearly defined objectives. Carle learned from the best and embrace more than a few sports metaphors. Carle lives in Portland, Oregon with my husband, Chris, and their children Spencer, Jackie, and Blue Bear. What no one suspected was that Carle had been experiencing bullying and was stonewalled by higher-ups when she asked for help. Her health and work performance were severely impacted, and she had to walk away from the company she loved. That's when she decided to spread awareness and make other people feel seen in their experiences with workplace bullying.
