Speaking and Workshops

Tailored sessions covering leadership topics for your team, business resource group, or company

More than business excellence, Signature leaders lead life intentionally.
They have presence. They inspire, motivate, and engage their people.
They help make others remarkable.

Our speaking engagements and workshops provide the practical tools and approaches to lead intentionally.

Speaker Carol Seymour

Through conversations with a dozen CEOs and CHROs, we have identified the most desired qualities for leaders. Our approach addresses these topics while emphasizing the authentic leadership style of each individual. We tailor speaking and workshop engagements so participants can engage with the material and take immediate action to make positive changes. Carol brings each topic to life through her own real-world examples and stories of more than 1,000 of the world’s most respected business leaders.

Carol was our keynote for the California Bankers Association annual Women in Banking Forum. Her presentation was so interesting that I heard every word. The interactivity generated ideas and energy, and the information was practical and useful. Carol’s real-life examples bridged interest from the executive suite to mid-level management and made the whole discussion relatable.

Carol Seymour - Founder and CEOCarol Seymour

Founder and CEO

Carol Seymour is a sought-after business leader and catalyst for growth. As an executive advisor to businesses and executives around the globe, she has a passion for helping leaders perform at maximum potential in their professions and lives.

She founded Signature Leaders in 2013 at the request of a dozen global heads of HR and now runs multiple leadership-focused offerings. Programs FOR women, not about women. The Signature Premier program – for senior female executives, is a unique development initiative and peer network with only 120 candidates per year. Today, more than 1400 global executives in the Fortune 1000 are part of Signature. Signature Leaders partners with more than 130 market-leading companies for their selective investments.  Eastman, ADP, Ahold Delhaize, Ingersoll Rand, ServiceNow, Cardinal Health, Merck, UPS, Nestle, Southern Company, AT&T, and Maersk are a few of the representative partners.

Carol has a successful track record as a senior executive in large cap companies, startups, and private equity-backed organizations. She has led critical transformations, product/service innovations, and fast-track turn-arounds. Chief Marketing and Commercial roles at Accenture, Spherion, MeadWestvaco, and DBM led her to build World 50, the world’s premier senior executive networking organization. She launched six C-suite private memberships as she grew World 50. Prior to starting Signature Leaders, she was a managing director of G100, a private CEO network for 200 CEOs globally.

Over the past decade, Carol has interviewed more than 1000 C-suite executives for their leadership insights. She has orchestrated executive discussions among some of the world’s most acclaimed leaders and CEOs. Several of her highlighted interviews include: Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat/Chrysler, just two days after Chrysler paid off its government debt; and Hugh Grant, CEO of Monsanto and CEO of the Year. She has also facilitated discussions with Condoleezza Rice, Greg Norman, Fred Smith, Paul Azinger, and Doris Kearns Goodwin, among others, extracting high impact ideas for executives to action in their own organizations.

Carol is the author of Wisdom Warriors: Women with the Courage to be True to Themselves, a collection of 200 stories and lessons of leadership AND life from amazing, accomplished executives. The book is being used by companies, coaches, and executives to catalyze organizations to share stories. Carol also authored a custom version of the book for Cargill and CEO Dave MacLennan, and for Ahold Delhaize and CEO Dick Boer. Carol is also a top-rated speaker, named one of the Top 40 Women Keynote Speakers for 2020 by RealLeaders Magazine, spending most of her speaking time with women’s forums, industry conferences, and client leadership forums.

Carol is a Founding Member of Paradigm for Parity and uses Signature Leaders to do her part to address the gender gap in executive levels. “Two through You”, an on-line resource, was launched to help companies build their formal sponsorship programs.

Carol resides in Cashiers, NC and spent 34 years in Atlanta. She has two married children, two granddaughters, and a grandson.

– David W. MacLennan, Chairman & CEO | Cargill

“Wisdom Warriors demonstrates why leading life intentionally makes for better leaders. There isn’t a story inside that doesn’t relate to someone! Buy copies to share with colleagues, friends and daughters.”

– Gail Evans, Author | Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman
