Lelia King's Linkedin Analytics

Welcome! I’m Lelia. I serve as Executive Director for Build Carolina, a South Carolina-based 501(c)(3) with a mission to advance our tech community through demand-driven training, connection, and support. We currently run programs for everyone from beginners to career changers. Since 2017, it has been my absolute honor to build an organization with core values that align with my own: values including opportunity, community, collaboration, agility, diversity, and impact. I love to share my story and insights I have gleaned from building a nonprofit organization from the ground up. I have a unique perspective on workforce and talent development, the changing world of education and training, and career change. I've always been drawn to writing, and I believe in the power of stories. There is nothing people connect with more than shared human experience. Stories beat marketing jargon every time. I enjoy helping people realize their passions, understand their personal brand, gain confidence and go after new careers.
