“ When Karen and I first started working together, I was struggling with insecurity and uncertainty about my new career. I had recently pivoted from 25 years of work in luxury fashion and launched my own business. The shift was destabilizing and exciting but I knew I needed help to strategize about overcoming doubt and managing the new challenges of life as my own boss. Karen helped me recognize the strength and power I already had within thanks to my extensive experience. She allowed me to focus on leveraging the skills that were already in my toolbox to solve the current complexities. By working with Karen, I unlocked insights that propelled me to action. I crafted my personal story with a deep understanding of my superpowers, of the audience I wanted to serve and how I could help them. This story was the missing puzzle piece I needed. ”

“ With Karen, there is no fear of pressure to deliver. This is not a grade, or a class. Her encouragement to look closer at yourself, and her ability to sift through someone’s stream of consciousness to pick out what is most meaningful to you, is priceless. She has also helped me identify why it’s so hard for me to write this book I’ve had on my mind for decades. The trail leads back to my need for everything to sparkle, to be “done” – a checkmark on the to-do list. Writing is not a straightforward activity for me, and I can accept this now. Writing, to me, is very personal, very raw, and very telling. I don’t know if I ever would have come to the conclusions that I reached without her help. So, it is with one step in front of the other that I am slowly writing the novel that is so important to me Perhaps my favorite thing about working with her is her lack of judgment. It’s so tempting to self-edit when we speak, but with Karen, I wanted her to know the real deal, the real emotions. I wanted her to know it all so she could help guide me out of my chaotic fishbowl, which she did. I feel more creative. Lighter. More accepting of failure because I know none of it matters unless I give it power. It’s been all about a lifestyle change for me, this shift, and it’s only happening because Karen showed me that I am more than I think myself to be. ”

“ Karen brought a warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism that immediately made me feel at ease doing deep self-exploration (both personally and professionally). Working with her helped me deepen my perspectives, transform my mindset, and develop actions that I have been able to sustain. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to "take charge" of their lives with intention and in alignment with their values. ”

“ As someone who was made to believe since a young age my voice didn’t matter, I never felt comfortable opening up to others in the way I was so effortlessly able to do with Karen from our very first session. Karen and I began our coaching journey together at a pivotal time in my life, when I didn’t know just how much I needed her guidance to work through the things that were limiting me. As a creative person, there’s always a lot of fear brewing at the surface level and, more than almost anything, she helped me work through that and remember just how strong my inner knowing is. Every time I felt doubt or fear trying to stop me from keep moving forward, she was able to ask the hard questions that helped me work through my own ego - knowing I was always self aware and I just needed to figure out how to tune out the noise. We started our journey at a milestone moment with my first book being edited and finished this part of our journey as my book got published - and I can honestly say, I would not have had the courage to see this through without Karen’s beautiful spirit as my guiding light. I’m evolving into the next best version of myself because of Karen and her coaching! Anyone who gets to work with Karen will instantly be awakened to who they can become… it’s just realizing you have to do the work to get there. ”

“ Working with Karen is a truly unique experience and helps you maintain focus on taking action. She has a knack for driving accountability. With Karen it's not just about setting goals, she ensures you're on track, making progress, and always looking further to make sure every base is covered. Her approach is both supportive and challenging, pushing you beyond your comfort zone while ensuring you never feel overwhelmed. ”

“ I hired Karen to help me become a more effective showrunner and manager of documentary production. She worked with me in the thick of one of the most difficult series I’ve ever taken on, providing me tactile and hands-on support that I was able to execute in real-time. Through her coaching methods, she helped me to find and develop my innate ability to lead. In this process, I was able to let go of my deep-seated urge to “fix the problem” myself, and instead direct my teams to find suitable solutions to the problems at hand. This prevented my having to take on unnecessary work, giving me a much better work-life balance as well as the clear-mindedness to make big picture calls. Her sessions also helped me to develop ways to define accountability within my teams, enabling a reciprocity of trust. In all, I have a newfound confidence in my managerial approach, editorial judgment, and overall direction. As a result of Karen’s coaching, the big shoes that an executive must fill now fit much more comfortably.  ”

“ I've emerged from my time with Karen more steadfast in my mission and better able to articulate it, more confident in my skills as an entrepreneur and storyteller, and highly equipped to meet the moment as my career shifts gear. I consider myself lucky to have had Karen there to help me tap into my potential. She presented keys that helped unlock each step as I up-leveled with every session. She's a treasure who brought out the best in me, and I felt (and still feel) her championing me with each step I took. ”

“ Karen’s coaching is a salve to the psyche during this challenging period of contraction in the media industry. As your steadfast supporter, she cultivates a positive, forward-focused mindset paired with holistic intentionality that helps you show up as your best self. Most importantly, she's an attentive and empathetic listener who helps dismantle limiting beliefs, while reconnecting with strengths that fueled prior successes, propelling you toward new achievements. She's also a reliable and trusted advisor, inspiring momentum through insightful guidance and encouragement between sessions. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Karen. ”

“ The qualities I have always admired in Karen as an athlete—resilience, adaptability, kindness, and a high-achiever mindset—translate perfectly into her coaching approach. She helped me become more confident in my pitch, and through that in my new role as the CEO of a startup. Karen brings a unique combination of strategic messaging expertise and supportive coaching to create a powerful partnership. I would recommend Karen to anyone who has a personal or professional story to craft, particularly when the stakes are high and clarity of message is essential. ”

“ I achieved my #1 dream since working with Karen.. Karen’s coaching is empathetic, supportive, system-oriented, and design-driven. She creates a space where you feel like you’re the only thing that exists in her world. Simply put, if you are struggling (plateauing) in your life or career, investing in working with an elite coach like Karen is seriously the easiest investment you could make. ”

“ After an emotionally draining layoff, Karen helped me set goals for all aspects of my career transition. She is very skillful at helping me to discover my own goals and values. She was attentive to my emotional tenor and helped me identify when i wasn't excited about a position or when i was displaying my best self. Her interview prep helped me accentuate the positives and engage the employers' curiosity--the first place I interviewed after working with her made me an offer. ”
