Dr. Carolyn Brooks-Collins is not just a coach or speaker—she’s a catalyst for transformation. A powerhouse in the boardroom and a beacon of hope on the stage, she channels four decades of financial expertise into a mission much bigger than balance sheets: helping women, particularly those over 50, reclaim their voice, purpose, and financial power.
From CPA to Confidence Coach
With credentials that command respect—Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA)—Dr. Brooks-Collins spent more than 40 years mastering the worlds of accounting, internal auditing, and risk management. But it was personal loss, not professional accolades, that redirected her purpose. After the devastating loss of her husband to cancer, she found herself not only rebuilding a life, but reimagining what it means to live with purpose.
That pivot birthed her coaching and consulting firm, M. Carolyn Brooks-Collins, LLC, and her signature platform, Confidence with Dr. Carolyn. Blending spiritual insight with business savvy, Dr. Brooks-Collins empowers women to lead boldly and live fully—no matter their age or circumstance.
Speaking to Shift Mindsets
As an international speaker, Dr. Brooks-Collins brings raw authenticity to every stage she steps on. Whether addressing corporate audiences, women’s retreats, or faith-based conferences, her message is clear: “Don’t consult your past when planning your future.” She unpacks this mantra with storytelling that resonates and strategies that work.
Her signature talks—like “Reinvention After 50,” “Faith, Finance, and Freedom,” and “The Confidence Comeback”—blend humor, heartfelt truths, and hands-on tools. Women walk away not just inspired, but equipped. Dr. Carolyn doesn’t just deliver motivation—she delivers momentum.
Coaching for the Whole Woman
Through one-on-one coaching, group programs, and immersive workshops, Dr. Brooks-Collins serves as a guide and accountability partner for women navigating life’s transitions—whether post-divorce, post-widowhood, or simply post-complacency.
What sets her apart is her holistic approach: she teaches financial literacy as more than numbers. It’s about power, choice, and freedom. Her programs cover practical money management but are also steeped in mindset work and faith-based principles. “Understanding your finances,” she often says, “is the first step toward owning your future.”
Her workshops are safe spaces—where tears, triumphs, and transformation are all welcome. Women learn how to not only budget but believe again. They don’t just fix credit scores—they find courage.
A Platform with Purpose
Beyond the mic and the spreadsheets, Dr. Brooks-Collins is a published author featured in powerful anthologies like Stories of His Glory: Testimonies of Transformation Unveiled and Women Inspiring: Bruised But Not Broken. These works reveal a woman who has lived her message and emerged stronger. Her words are balm for broken hearts and a battle cry for bold new beginnings.
Recognized and Respected
In recognition of her commitment to the personal and professional advancement of women and girls, Dr. Brooks-Collins was awarded the National Presidential Achievement Award—a testament to her decades-long legacy of service, impact, and empowerment.
From community workshops to international stages, she has poured into others for over 35 years. Her influence continues to expand as she mentors the next generation of female leaders who are ready to rewrite their narrative—and their net worth.
