Cory Carlson

Author of Win at Home First and Rise and Go

As an entrepreneur, former executive, husband, and father of three, Cory Carlson understands the pressures working parents face. He is passionate about helping business leaders win at home and work.

Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level. But he also saw brokenness: work without purpose, burnout, lack of focus, strained marriages, and absentee parents. Business leaders especially were often not living life to the fullest.

When Cory discovered coaching, it helped him become a better leader, husband, and father. So he left his corporate career to help other leaders win at work and at home. Cory does this through executive coaching, speaking, and writing.

Currently, Cory lives in Cincinnati with his awesome wife and three amazing children.

Cory has a Civil Engineer degree from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Rockhurst University.

His first book released in June 2019 titled, Win at Home First, and is an inspirational guide for work-life balance.  His book was Amazon #1 New Release in 3 Categories and listed in FORBES as ‘7 Books Everyone On Your Team Should Read’.

Cory just released his second book, Rise and Go. This book is a resource to help leaders get back up quicker after getting knocked down from the challenges of leadership and life.

He hosts the leadership podcast, Win at Home First, a Top 1.5% global podcast per ListenNotes.

How Can You Be Intentional This Season?

Like you and me, Paul had his good days and his bad days as he interacted with others. Paul was obedient however, it was not easy. There were days of frustration as some people rejected Paul’s teaching. Even though Paul was being obedient and doing his job, he must have felt some- times like he was swimming upstream.

Who Are You?
Who Are You?

If you do not understand who you are, you will always be looking in other places for the answer. You will take your questions of identity and self-worth to your job or your spouse or another man or woman.

Are You in the Waiting Room?
Are You in the Waiting Room?

One of the hardest things many of us experience is waiting for what is next. For what’s to come. When will I get the promotion? When will I get the job? When will I get the new clients? When will this business start to take off? Why is it taking so long?

Why am I Doing This?
Why am I Doing This?

I realized what I did no longer mattered. Instead, why I did my job was going to be my driver. Whether I worked at this company or another, my why was going to be about impacting others.

We spend a lot of time looking for people to go and build into, but if we’re not careful, we can completely overlook our own kids! Intentional investments into our kids will have a greater impact than anything else we do. Kids want our time more than anything. Our presence over our provision.

Be Present -- Both Mentally and Physically

The motto in our house is: “Don’t give others the best, and we get the rest.” Give your family more because they deserve it and because it sets them up for greater success in life.

Pursue Your Spouse

One of the major reasons for my affair earlier in our marriage is Holly and I stopped dating each other. We went out together all the time, but it was in groups or double dates. We stopped being intentional with one another. We stopped making time to ask each other questions about ups and downs, hopes and dreams.
