About Stress Expert and Reiki Life Coach Carol-Ann Hamilton «

Step out of your comfort zone into the Life of Your Dreams!

Let Carol-Ann Hamilton, a Crossroads Specialist, show you how. This author, Reiki Master, coach and motivational speaker is a Pioneer-Visionary and Maverick who has “been there, done it”

Picture her corporate career: 25 years in Fortune 500, entrepreneurial and consulting settings – working in luxurious environments, handling high profile assignments and enjoying the dream life by many standards, except hers… For, Carol-Ann could equally say she was a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wreck.

In 2003, this Spiritual Warrior unlocked the golden handcuffs that had kept her fearfully chained within the so-called protective cocoon of employment. Cold turkey… This, while her husband was simultaneously diagnosed with an inoperable disease and his employer outsourced the business overseas. Hers was enormous leap of faith. This decision was just one of many bold moves put into action across decades – emblematic of Carol-Ann’s quiet gutsiness that earned her a Courage Award for Professional Business Excellence in 2011.

During a very challenging family year in 2010, she published Step Out of Your Sandbox! Unlike her best-selling leadership and entrepreneurial books, Carol-Ann’s growth as a sandbox expert arrived one step at a time. For five years, she overcame every challenge she encourages readers to surmount. By now, Carol-Ann has released so many stuck places she doesn’t know where the box is anymore!

Healing Corporate Wounding

There’s hardly a form organizational toxicity Carol-Ann Hamilton hasn’t experienced. Due to the damage she sustained (and survived), her vision for corporate life was born: “Transforming the workplace by inspiring leaders to inspire results”. This is on behalf of beleaguered employees everywhere – suffering as she used to.

Hugely concerned by the stressful human impacts of hyper-speed change – read in skyrocketing healthcare costs, absenteeism and wrongful dismissal lawsuits – she is a tireless activist for inciting heads of business to build productive environments that promote kindness while achieving bottom-line prosperity.

Through Changing Leadership, insurance, banking, government, not-for-profit, retail and manufacturing sectors now rely on her 30 years’ expertise in leadership development, cultural transformation, team building and conflict resolution to “get” why treating people right matters.

When her co-authored volume, The A to Z Guide to Soul Inspiring Leadership, was published nine years ago, this trailblazer was ahead of her time. Now, she’s on time!

Releasing Anger-Based Stress

While many describe Carol-Ann Hamilton as warm and optimistic, she knows her struggles across the years with a vinegary aspect to her temperament are very real. In her provocatively-titled 2011 release, The Pissed-Off Journal, she combines humor and wit with heartfelt admissions about her own battles.

She designed this venting tool to give folks – even those who’ve never kept a journal – a quick and easy method to record, release and reframe daily annoyances. By granting full permission to express private irritation, Carol-Ann’s straightforward methods are intended to provide the missing link between anger and positivity in order that people find their best selves.

As she says: “It’s perfectly natural to feel pissed off. The issue is not having emotions. The problem occurs when we have nowhere to release them. Stop sucking it up and let go!”

Unleashing Your Potential

Through Spirit Unlimited since 1999, Carol-Ann Hamilton’s coaching has supported clients from their 20’s to 60’s to navigate life’s transitions so they uncover and attain their broader purpose on Earth. Nothing delights her more than enthusing others to reclaim their inner magnificence, evidenced by her motto, “Encouraging Your Greatness!”

By weaving Reiki practices into her work (to release blockages from energy centers called “chakras”), Carol-Ann’s mind-body-spirit approaches support multiple benefits, including: stress reduction; renewed creative energy; strengthened self-confidence; a more balanced outlook; and feelings of peace plus well-being.

Her firm conviction is that all of us possess huge inner wisdom and talent that equips us to fulfill our unique reason-for-being. It upsets her deeply to think that anyone would “die with the music inside”. As a result, she questions self-imposed limits, challenges old excuses and champions others to break through barriers that stop their dreams. Here’s a typical example:

“Right from the beginning, I felt I could truly open up to you. You care deeply and listen between the lines while providing very direct feedback from a place of positive kindness. You ‘awakened’ me through gentle questioning and visualizations to move forward with my life. You are truly special! Thank you for sharing your gifts.”

Carol-Ann’s Personal Story

Six years old, I’m accompanied by my only friend in the world. Meet my cat – Muschi. While the sadness of my early years as the only child of an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother long shaped my outlook, my 40’s thankfully saw me rid my identification with a painful upbringing. I now use my profound experiences with aloneness to help people around the globe confront and move past their own disenfranchisement. Like my middle name of Patricia suggests, I strive as a “work in progress” to graciously and nobly leave a legacy of transformed human consciousness by the time of my passing at age 112.
