Carolyn Strauss is a Global Keynote Speaker, Reinvention Strategist, sales expert, and creator of Dollars Per Minute™. She helps leaders, sales teams, and organizations reinvent how they communicate, connect, and create value when what used to work no longer does. Her engaging presentations combine practical strategies, real-world experience, humor, and human connection to help audiences thrive in an ever-changing business landscape.

Carolyn began her career in fashion before becoming the on-air CEO of The Carolyn Strauss Collection on HSN, where she spent 18 years selling more than $160 million of her own products live on television. Working in one of the world's most demanding sales environments taught her how to build trust in moments, communicate value with clarity, and transform hesitation into enthusiastic action—skills that now form the foundation of her keynote presentations and workshops.

Today, Carolyn brings those proven principles to organizations around the world. As a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), Certified Reinvention Practitioner, Working Genius Certified Facilitator, and Exactly What to Say® Certified Guide, she equips leaders and teams with practical tools to navigate change, strengthen relationships, increase influence, and communicate with greater confidence and impact. Her signature Dollars Per Minute™ framework helps audiences understand that every conversation is an opportunity to create value, deepen trust, and accelerate results.

Carolyn believes that while technology and AI continue to reshape business, success will always depend on people connecting with people. Her mission is to help individuals and organizations stop relying on what worked yesterday and start reinventing by design, enabling them to stay relevant, communicate with clarity, lead with confidence, and maximize both their impact and their Dollars Per Minute™. Audiences leave inspired, equipped, and ready to take immediate action with strategies they can apply from the moment they leave the room.
