Are you wondering how to better manage yourself and your life as a writer? We all have strengths and weaknesses, and when we're a one-woman show, we have to wear all the hats.

Carla will help us understand what it means to lead ourselves well and how to find those who can help us fill in the gaps of our weaknesses.

Carla H. Hayden is passionate about raising up the next generation of women leaders for the Kingdom of God…one conversation at a time. As a Maturity Mentor, Carla uses group mentoring and 1:1 clarity sessions - affectionately referred to as “Mentoring with Mama” and “Coffee with Carla” - to lead, guide, and mentor younger women - whether young in age or young in stage - in their personal, professional, and spiritual development.

As a Marketplace Shepherd, Carla uses her gifts of connection, communication, and coaching to help individuals, teams, and companies eliminate inefficiencies, establish order out of chaos, and enhance a culture of clarity and accountability.

Born and raised in San Francisco, CA, Carla and her family have called Indianapolis, IN, home for the last 25+ years. She thrives on meaningful conversations over coffee or cocktails, enjoys photo-journaling snippets of her story, and loves traveling—whether exploring local gems or venturing abroad.

Carla contributes her Working Geniuses of Discernment and Tenacity to every project she puts her hands to, and unashamedly declares that Gifts and Words of Affirmation are at the top of her Love Languages list.
