“Karen is an amazing career coach who helped me through an uncertain time when I found myself part of an unexpected layoff. She is an excellent listener who came up with solutions and resources specific to my needs. Having gone through the experience, Karen was very empathetic during the entire the process, reassuring me to keep up the good fight even on the days I wasn’t up to the task. She never gave up on me by always checking at just the right times, allowing me to go at my own pace. Karen is resourceful and would share network contacts, ideas to make my home office better, tips for acing my interviews, and always making herself available to me. I’m blessed to have been assigned to Karen, my coach and cheerleader. I highly recommend Karen for anyone seeking support in finding a new job or career enhancement.”

“Karen is an empathetic and kind listener which are two extremely important traits in a coach! I would highly recommend receiving coaching from her if you are looking for someone who will ask you questions to probe your line of thinking and get to know your situation. Additionally, I highly recommend Karen if you’re looking for someone to help you develop actionable steps towards professional growth and development. Karen took time to understand areas I wanted to improve upon, then recommended resources and helped me identify tangible steps each week to work towards growth.”

“I loved working with Karen! I sought her help as I was readjusting the primary focus of my business.
When I started working with Karen, I was feeling very overwhelmed by all the different directions parts my business were going. Through coaching with her, I was able to define the different services I offer as a coach and facilitator. More importantly she helped me to clarify the relationship of these divisions under one business and helped me understand how best to communicate to two segments of ideal clients!!! I finally was able to move forward with energy and enthusiasm in both areas.
I really appreciated her ability to ask me just the right questions that ensured I was fully behind and owned my decisions. Our work together expressed a PERFECT amount of patience, while keeping me focused on my intention with action steps that were specific, powerful, and doable. This was just what I needed!
It really feels great to move ahead with my marketing with confidence and clarity! I recommend her wholeheartedly!”

“Working with Karen as my coach was the best decision I’d ever made for my career and lifestyle. Her ability to thoroughly listen to her clients, ask important questions, and uncover much needed answers is very skillfully used. Karen’s warm, optimistic personality makes you feel like you’re talking with a best friend whom you’ve known for years. I really valued her high level of positivity and insight to help me uncover my innate strengths while creating a practical, action oriented path forward to live my best life.”

“I began working with Karen to address some very specific work-related challenges I was experiencing. I was really struggling to meet deadlines, and had begun to experience a sort of dread when it came to many of my duties. After just one session with Karen, I walked away with, not only a sense of relief, but a renewed sense of excitement for my upcoming projects. Through our conversation, she helped me pinpoint the issues that were at the root of my challenges, and then helped me develop a practical plan to address them. Over the course of our coaching relationship, I have come to regard Karen as a friend and confidante. Through our ongoing work together, I have developed practical tools to aid in my productivity, become more motivated and inspired in my role, and developed a deeper understanding of what it is in my work that gives me meaning and purpose.”
