Meet with Carmen

With over 20+ years in HR leadership and a passion for mentoring, Carmen Henry founded Future Leaders Empowerment Coaching to bridge the gap between education and real-world success.

We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.

With over 20+ years in HR leadership and a passion for mentoring, Carmen Henry founded Future Leaders Empowerment Coaching to bridge the gap between education and real-world success.

Her journey began when she noticed a critical need: young adults entering the workforce with strong academic knowledge but lacking essential life skills, confidence, and self-awareness. After volunteering as a life skills coach for teens in Tampa Bay libraries, she saw firsthand how transformative guidance could be sparking her mission to create a structured, impactful coaching program.

Carmen’s unique blend of HR expertise, leadership training, and youth mentorship allows her to deliver coaching that’s both practical and deeply personal. She doesn’t just teach she inspires, challenges, and walks alongside each young leader on their journey to success.

Why We Do What We Do
Our Vision

A world where every young adult possesses the life skills, confidence, and determination to pursue their dreams fearlessly.

Our Mission

To provide coaching, workshops, and mentorship that empower young adults with self-love, resilience, and real-world skills. so they can thrive personally and professionally.

My Passion

After over 20 years in Human Resources, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people grow first in corporate environments, and now with young adults. My passion is simple but powerful: to help teens discover their worth and build the skills they need to thrive.

It all started when I volunteered as a life skills coach at Tampa Bay libraries. Working with teens ages 13-18, I saw something incredible. when given the right tools and encouragement, they transformed before my eyes. Their excitement, their breakthroughs, their growing confidence—it lit a fire in me.

That’s why I do what I do. Because every young person deserves to feel capable, valued, and prepared—not just for school or work, but for life. My approach is rooted in personalized support, because I know no two journeys are the same. Together, we build self-love, confidence, and real-world skills that last a lifetime.
