Testimonials

I had the opportunity to work closely with Caryn through the national network of generation and transmission cooperative communicators, including as part of a small team developing industry messaging around one of the most important challenges facing our sector — meeting rapidly growing electricity demand while continuing to provide reliable, affordable power.

Caryn brings a rare combination of deep energy industry knowledge, strategic communications expertise, and a journalist’s instinct for understanding the questions people are really asking. She can quickly get to the heart of a complex issue, anticipate how different audiences will respond, and turn highly technical information into clear, credible messaging that leaders can use with confidence.

She is also an exceptional collaborator — thoughtful, creative, candid, and deeply committed to the cooperative mission. Caryn understands both the business and the people it serves, and I would have complete confidence in her advising leaders navigating complex energy, stakeholder, or communications challenges.

Having worked alongside Caryn in television news, I saw firsthand her ability to examine an issue from every angle, ask the right questions, and think strategically before acting. She understands how to build trust, communicate transparently, and find creative solutions to complex challenges. Caryn has an exceptional ability to anticipate what’s coming and help leaders prepare for it. With her guidance, you’ll be ready for the questions, challenges, and opportunities ahead.

Caryn Whitney is an exceptionally intelligent and strategic leader who brings integrity, sound judgment and professionalism to everything she does. She has a remarkable ability to understand complex issues, think through challenges from multiple perspectives and communicate with clarity and confidence.

What distinguishes Caryn is her combination of sharp business judgment and genuine authenticity. She earns trust, holds herself to an exceptionally high ethical standard and follows through on what she commits to. I would have complete confidence in Caryn advising a leader or organization facing an important or complex decision.

I actually helped evaluate Caryn when she was interviewing for the TV station I worked at. She was immediately hired. I watched her grow from a reporter to a management position. She is a go getter. Very reliable and confident. She will always succeed in my opinion.

I had the opportunity to work under Caryn for several years, and I don't think I would be where I am today without the investment she made in me.

Caryn saw potential in me that I didn't always see in myself. She gave me opportunities to grow, challenged me beyond what I thought I was capable of and gave me the confidence to believe I could do more. I ultimately moved out of news and into a different career path, but so much of the confidence and perspective I carry with me today came from Caryn's mentorship and the way she developed me.

Caryn is an exceptional leader and people developer. She has a talent for leading through change, building trust, setting high expectations and bringing people along with her. She's not afraid to tackle difficult issues or challenge the status quo, but she does it with empathy, honesty and grace.

Caryn knew how to give me the encouragement I needed while also being honest about where I needed to grow. She made me better, and she gave me the confidence to keep growing long after I stopped working for her.

I'm incredibly grateful I had Caryn as a manager and mentor. The impact she had on my career has stayed with me, and I can't recommend her highly enough to any leader looking for someone who can help navigate change, develop people and bring out the best in their teams.
