Why "Create Within, Lead Throughout"?

Through the many years in Corporate America it was apparent when you worked for or met a true leader.  It was a sense that you would do anything for the organization. You felt the need to excel, have your team succeed and make your Manager proud.  It was a special leader who could gather the troops, be honest, have respect, compassion and still be clear and focused on the goal.  Colleen learned a tremendous amount about how to motivate, communicate, inspire and have people deliver their best self while still having fun.  Along the way, Colleen learned that success comes in different forms and that by becoming aware of the present moment, you can see and react to things differently. You become clear, confident, compassionate and courageous.  Truly your best self. 

The Path Traveled...

Prior to starting her own Company, Colleen was in management roles in advertising sales for CBS Television and Cablevision in New York.  She skillfully managed budgets in excess of $10 million, working with Senior Executives, Sports Professionals and National Clients to create winning sales and marketing strategies.  Her clients included Ford, Sargento, Estee Lauder, Church and Dwight and others.

Along that same time, Colleen was introduced to Mindfulness.  She realized that through her practice in mindfulness, she found the space and clarity to focus, manage more thoughtfully, make better decisions and have less stress in her life. 

​Colleen's passion for authentic and mindful leadership and the importance of engaged, inspired employees led her to create Upstream Solutions. Upstream Solutions goal is to help smart, driven professionals, find the courage and solutions to do what they want, are good at and find their sweet spot.  

I would love to work with you, let's chat!

The Personal Side of Colleen Cassel 

Throughout Colleen's career, and life as a single mom, she learned that having courage and curiosity would lead her to new experiences and doing what she loved.  After leaving a marriage that was not right and raising two smart, beautiful children on her own, she realized that when you believe you can do it, nothing will stop you.  

Colleen knew it was right when she had the courage to make a change and it no longer scared her.  And was Curious to find out all that life had to offer.  That when she asked herself, "Why Leave", it became "Why Not".  The experience became more of an adventure than a barrier.
