Bringing Strategy, Innovation, and Transformation to Every Stage, Summit, and Leadership Room.


“Every audience I stand before already has the answers. My job is to help them see it, claim it, and act on it.”
Sommer Caldwell Carruthers is an author, educator, and sought-after speaker who brings over two decades of experience to every stage she steps on. Her message is rooted in one belief: When mindset and strategy align, everything in the room shifts.
With 22+ years in education and 7+ years of executive leadership, she has spent her career inside the rooms where change is supposed to happen and knows exactly what it takes to make it actually happen. That hard-earned insight shows up in every keynote, workshop, and session she delivers.
Known for her dynamic and grounded presence, Sommer speaks at K-12 leadership events, women's conferences, entrepreneurship summits, empowerment events, and technology spaces across the country. Her gift is holding real conversations that move audiences from reflection to action. Whether on the keynote stage, facilitating a DISC/Take Flight® workshop, or leading a strategic session, she helps people shift how they think, lead, and live.
