from The Second Act with Michael and John · host Michael Newborn, John Ballenger
She never set out to be a coach. In fact, she thought she’d be a doctor. But when a single question from her boss changed everything, Cara-Lyn Giovanniello discovered her true calling: helping people evolve into the leaders they were meant to be. From her beginnings in a family of educators to shaping leadership cultures at UC Berkeley, Booz Allen, Square, and Nextdoor, she’s built a career around courage, connection, and emotional intelligence. Now, as founder of CLG Coaching, Cara-Lyn empowers others to take bold leaps, embrace imperfection, and unlock their fullest potential, proving that clarity doesn’t come before the leap, it comes after.
