Hello Everyone,
​
I'm Carrie Alexander Colella, Ed.D . I am "mom" to three college educated adult children and part of a sibling group of five.
I am an award winning, published author of "Communication: The Heart of Organizational Leadership" I hold a Masters of Social Work degree with a concentration of displaced populations. My BA degree is in Sociology with a minor in Psychology. My Doctorate is in Organizational Leadership in Business.
I am also a certified Dream Builder Coach from the Life Mastery Institute of transformational Coaching in Los Angeles, CA. I have completed numerous courses in the "feminine power" theoretical approach, and based on my experience and education I have landed on working with women and their powerful contribution to the family and to society.
I have twenty-four years of Social Work practice in child welfare and family services. I am very interested in working with women re-entering the community from incarceration.

“I have to admit, I thought the odds were stacked against me at this stage of my life, but after a few sessions with Dr. Colella, I now know , I can do this."
“As Dr. Colella told me when I first met her, "Never let your past stop you from following your dreams. Start where you are and change your future."
“I turned my passion of crafts into my business. Sometimes with a little motivational support we can make a living doing what we love to do."
Communication in the workplace is generally viewed as directives from management to the workforce. However, the flow of information from the workforce to management should be viewed as equally important. According to Webster (2012), communication is defined as "to make known or to express oneself effectively".
