Bio
Peter Navarre
Carrie is a fantastic trainer and public speaker. She can effectively capture and hold the attention of the audience. She brings a great deal of enthusiasm to what she does and genuinely cares about delivering her message and ensuring that the audience is picking up on the knowledge she shares with them. I've worked with Carrie on several events and each time she has done a fantastic job of creatively training on the topics at hand and tailoring her message to the customer. Anyone would be lucky to have Carrie on their front line in front of their most important customers and watch her passionately train them and establish trust.

It's rare to meet someone as adept at effectively managing business priorities and growing relationships as Carrie Blurton. I have had the distinct privilege of working with Carrie for four years as a peer within two separate teams in the same company, Whirlpool Corporation. Together, we have collaborated on dozens of large scale projects and events whereby I've learned through her experience and skill set just how to perfect and creatively manage a wide breadth of complex situations. I have always especially admired Carrie's ability to relate to every person in the room by instilling confidence in them and by being that voice of encouragement that so many of our employees, veteran or not, have appreciated and valued to no end. As a team member and a leader, Carrie earns my highest recommendation and would be the best asset to have on any team.
