Premiere Speakers Bureau

To say Carol has a colorful background is a huge understatement! She lived in an 18-foot trailer as a child...surrounded by circus performers. What colorful neighbors! After flunking out of three colleges, she was determined enough to earn a Master's degree from New York University.

She taught Psychology in a New York prison for five years, but then quickly moved to Nashville to pursue her passion for music. When she got to Music City, she quickly started performing with a who's who of entertainers...Willie Nelson, Roy Clark, Jimmy Buffett, Johnny Cash, Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees, and many others. As an award-winning songwriter, Carol has had over 40 of her songs recorded...and as an actress has had movie roles with Sandra Bullock and Faye Dunaway.

Carol is also a successful businesswoman. She is the CEO of a thriving publishing and marketing company. Twelve years ago, Carol became a sought-after speaker and contributed to the mega-bestseller Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

From the 18-foot trailer to the star-studded stage, Carol also knows first-hand how to overcome adversity, and stay fired up through all of life's challenges. After suffering a mini-stroke, she was left permanently blind in her left eye, she survived a level 4 tornado, and lost her younger sister to breast cancer.

Just like you, she learns the most powerful lessons during the toughest storms. Those secrets are what Carol Grace Anderson shares with your audience.

Hobbies: Hanging out with family, cooking for friends, creating beautiful music, cheering on the Tennessee Titans, writing books, and walking her dog Callie.
