Profile

Communication skills make or break careers. Whether you’re pitching a business plan, facing the media, or pressing for a promotion—you need the competitive edge of great communication.

Piles of facts and stacks of PowerPoint slides won’t do it anymore. You need to know what inspires your audience’s enthusiasm and persuades them to act.

Carole Douglis, M.A.L.D., is an award-winning journalist, international communication strategist, and master trainer.

In interactive, humor-filled workshops and coaching sessions, she can transform your writing and presentation style forever. Just a few of hundreds of recommendations:

• “My writing is revolutionized.”

• “I’ve seen Carole work with the terrified, the wooden, the mumbling. After a session or two, they look and sound like entirely different beings—confident, authoritative, and expressive...." 

• “Before you give your next presentation or talk to a reporter, RUN to the phone and call Carole Douglis….”

Carole has coached executives, scientists, and other staff on three continents. She has provided communication expertise to UNICEF, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Worldwatch Institute, the World Bank, African Wildlife Foundation, Academy for Educational Development, Chemonics, PACT International, and many more.

As a journalist, she knows what grabs airtime and column inches. She has published in Atlantic Monthly, World Watch, Wilderness, Omni Magazine, Psychology Today and Harper’s, and wrote for the National Geographic Society for three years.

Her highly practical, humorous workshops include:

• Writing to Win

• Supercharged Presentations

• Masterful Media Interviews

• Telling the Story of Your Work: Case Studies and Success Stories

• Communication for behavior change

• Playshops: Creativity and Communication

For the most time-effective solutions, executives may also opt for individualized media training, speech and writing coaching.

As becomes clear in her training, Carole is also an improvisational comedy professional. She is founding director of W.I.T!—Washington Improv Theater—the region’s leading improv company. Carole holds a B.A. magna cum laude from Harvard University and an M.A. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in international nutrition and environment.
