“Carla’s Pearls” have become the centerpiece for her many speeches and television appearances. In Expect to Win, Carla shares these valuable lessons, including:
Carla is an accomplished singer who has delighted audiences around the world with her soulful renditions of new and old gospel favorites. Starting young with a love of singing, she quickly migrated towards choral music and gospel choirs at age 13.
While at Harvard, Carla continued to pursue her music, singing with the world-renowned Radcliffe Chorale Society, the oldest women’s singing group at Harvard, and in her own band Rhythm Company. She has performed four sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall and released several albums (Carla’s First Christmas, Joy is Waiting, Unceasing Praise).
“The weekend was great – Carla Harris was exceptional, and we had an excellent event. The feed back from our CEO and Senior Management team and everyone who attended the event was all very positive. It was a privilege to work with Carla and to have her share with the staff. She also has a phenomenal voice – and although she did not include a singing performance in her presentation, we knew that she does sing and a staff member requested that she did and she was gracious and sang a lovely song for us. I would recommend her any time, very impressive and dynamic lady. Thanks to you and you team as usual for your support and smooth and professional manner in handling of the process you are involved. “
