Grow your Leadership

Expand your Confidence

Create your Career

You have options – let’s explore them!

Welcome, friends! If you’re ready to take the next steps in your leadership development, curious about possibilities for change and growth, wanting to explore those exciting entrepreneurial ideas bouncing around in your head, or looking for ways to recharge and excel in your current job, you’re in the right place.

LET’S GET STARTED!

You are the boss of you

Either you stay in the job or you leave it. Either you do something you love or you make good money. We find so much comfort in our simplified black-and-white, either/or thinking.

But that comfort comes at the expense of possibility. Because 99.9% of the possibilities available to us live in the gray. The unfamiliar, uncomfortable, intimidating gray. That infinite space between “either” and “or.”

You don’t have to settle for an “ok” job, and you don’t have to follow anyone else’s idea of the ideal career or life path. You have the resources and power to create the career and lifestyle you want. You just need a little help exploring your exciting possibilities and developing strategies for moving forward. And that’s what I’m here for. Let’s go play in the gray!

Working with me means you’re…

You’re ready to create new results, even if you’re not quite sure what you want to create or how to make it happen.

Your time, your energy, your money – all finite resources. When you choose to invest them in you, you win. Every. Time.

You know there’s something more out there for you and you’re capable of going for it.
I believe in you, too!

Let’s Talk

I’m Karen, a leadership and personal & professional development coach, and in my nearly two decades as a leader of people and an explorer of interesting opportunities, I’ve discovered one very important truth: what other people tell us we should do in our lives and careers is largely B.S.

Too often we follow career and life paths that don’t align with our personal desires and values. We pursue things without considering if we even want them and then find ourselves feeling unfulfilled. We continue down a path others say is the right one because we aren’t sure what to do instead. We aren’t sure what we want, let alone how to get it.

But we have so many incredible options! I’ve used my skills and creativity for everything from saving lives in a war zone to helping lead healthcare organizations to supporting inventors in licensing their products. It feels amazing to tap into the power of possibility and to create a fulfilling, aligned life. I want to share that feeling with you.

If you’re achieving your goals but not feeling f If you’re achieving your goals but not feeling fulfilled, they might be the wrong goals for you.

If you’re not feeling inspired to pursue your goals, they might be the wrong goals for you.

When you get really clear on what you value then set and pursue goals that align with that, everything changes. 

Don’t keep achieving simply to achieve. Be intentional about achieving in ways that are meaningful FOR YOU!

Job or Life. It’s true – whether you’re a lead Job or Life. It’s true - whether you’re a leader, a colleague, a friend, or a family member, creating rich, meaningful relationships REQUIRES engaging in difficult conversations along the way. 

Learn to do this well and you’ll create a pretty amazing world around yourself.

We spend way too much time comparing ourselves to We spend way too much time comparing ourselves to and competing against people we aren’t actually in competition with.

Intentionally seeking out people who do certain things better than we do, recognizing and appreciating where they excel, and seeking to learn from them will help us get so much further in our own lives than avoiding/resenting others successes or pretending we don’t have space to learn and improve.
