Introduction

 

Last month's Careerwell Speaker, Susan Chritton, emphasized the importance of personal branding. To get out her very targeted message clearly , Carolyn Brent, MBA,  has chosen her title carefully.  She is a "Caregiver Empowerment Strategist."  Carolyn is the author of number one bestselling book Why Wait? The Baby Boomer’s Guide to Preparing Emotionally, Financially & Legally for a Parent’s Death, which is a guide for family caregivers and aging parents. As a speaker, she travels throughout the United States lecturing about the importance of adult siblings and parents having what she calls “crucial conversations” in preparation for the difficult discussion of end-of-life issues they may face, so that instead of being torn apart, they can come together as a strong family. She is committed to enhancing the lives of family caregivers and their aging parents throughout the world. Welcome Carolyn!
