MEET YOUR HOSTS
Carmen Liefeld, ACC, CTPC
Carmen is a certified leadership and team performance coach who believes in bringing the authentic, vulnerable self to both professional and personal settings. She finds purpose in helping leaders and teams gain confidence and effectiveness. She specializes in mining for the rich superpowers in all of us, especially those leaders who are experiencing self-doubt or imposter syndrome. Instead of relying solely on the academics of leadership, she helps genuine leaders get real with who they are (and who they are not) and create success using their unique skills and abilities. She also finds success facilitating teams through the work of visioning, trust building, and communication.
Carmen holds a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from St. Mary’s University, is accredited with the International Coaches Federation and is a Certified Team Performance Coach.

This beautifully restored 1858 Victorian Italianate home was featured on the reality series Miss INNdependent, which followed the adventures of 9 women with 9 different opinions as they purchased, renovated and converted this historic Bed & Breakfast into a modern day vacation rental, perfect for gathering friends and family.
Located just two blocks from scenic Lake Minnetonka, twenty minutes from the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro, The Guest House is the perfect point of departure for a fun getaway, special occasion, romantic escape, or a refreshing change of pace for the business traveler."
