Personal life

Carole Hyatt is married to television producer Gordon Hyatt whom she met while they were both working at CBS in New York City. [1] Gordon and Carole have one daughter, Ariel. [2] Carole and Gordon live in New York City and Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The conservatory in their Massachusetts home has been featured in New England Home magazine for its striking gothic revival architecture. [3]

Career

Hyatt originally started working with women in executive and entrepreneurial positions when she formed the market and social behavior research company Hyatt Esserman Research Associates with business partner June Esserman. The research focused on children and most of the staff were women. When Esserman died in 1982, Carole sold Hyatt Esserman Research Associates and began to focus full-time on career development for women. [1] She has led workshops and been a keynote speaker across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Author

Carole Hyatt has written several books geared towards helping women reach professional success, including the best sellers When Smart People Fail: Rebuilding Yourself for Success and The Woman's Selling Game, both of which have generally received critical success.

When Smart People Fail was co-written with film producer Linda Gottlieb and was originally published in 1987. In describing the process that led to the publication of the book and referring to the death of June Esserman, Chicago Tribune writer Darlene Gavron stated, "To illustrate that failure can be a step toward success, Gottlieb and coauthor Carole Hyatt, 51, draw on interviews with 176 "veterans" of personal and career setbacks. ... It's a process Gottlieb and coauthor Hyatt have experienced firsthand. Fear of failure caused Hyatt to sell a successful New York marketing firm after her partner died." [4]

In reviewing When Smart People Fail, career coach Lorna Kellogg stated that the book is "both informative and practical" and praised the way that the book confronts American taboos related to success and failure. [5]

Hyatt's book The Woman's Selling Game, a career guide primarily intended for self-employed and entrepreneurial women, was similarly well-received, with a Kirkus critic stating that the advice contained within the book is "[set] forth in a dear, relaxed, generally persuasive manner." [6] The book reached best seller status in the United States and was also published and widely distributed in Japan and Thailand. [7]

In 1999, McGraw-Hill Ryerson released a revised and updated version of the book called The New Woman's Selling Game. [8]

The Leadership Forum

Carole Hyatt developed the Leadership Forum, a career development initiative for women. Through the Forum, Hyatt hosts career development workshops and events focused on improving career strategies and leadership qualities for women in senior positions in various fields. Hyatt's most well-known workshop is called Getting to Next. Author Lynette Lewis, who considers Hyatt her mentor, cites attending a Getting to Next workshop as instrumental in her finding success as a businesswoman working in New York City. [9]

The development of the Leadership Forum and of Hyatt's career working with women in leadership roles was profiled in Pamela Ryckman's recent book Stiletto Network: Inside the Women's Power Circles That Are Changing the Face of Business. [1]

As of 2013, Hyatt has made Leadership Forum speaking appearances in over forty different countries. [10]

Mission: Getting to Next

In 2013, Hyatt founded Mission: Getting to Next, a non-profit organization that has established a program that brings together both civilian and military women who are in a transitional period in their lives. In establishing a network of support, retiring military servicewomen are able to apply the skills and leadership of the service to a new civilian career path.

Laura Cornelius Kellogg was an Oneida leader, author, orator, activist and visionary. Kellogg, a descendant of distinguished Oneida leaders, was a founder of the Society of American Indians. Kellogg was an advocate for the renaissance and sovereignty of the Six Nations of the Iroquois, and fought for communal tribal lands, tribal autonomy and self-government. Popularly known as "Indian Princess Wynnogene," Kellogg was the voice of the Oneidas and Haudenosaunee people in national and international forums. During the 1920s and 1930s, Kellogg and her husband, Orrin J. Kellogg, pursued land claims in New York on behalf of the Six Nations people. Kellogg's "Lolomi Plan" was a Progressive Era alternative to Bureau of Indian Affairs control emphasizing indigenous American self-sufficiency, cooperative labor and organization, and capitalization of labor. According to historian Laurence Hauptman, "Kellogg helped transform the modern Iroquois, not back into their ancient League, but into major actors, activists and litigants in the modern world of the 20th century Indian politics."
