Three themes emerge from Karen’s career: creativity (thinking outside the box, problem solving), learning (curiosity, always), and people (making connections, learning what makes them tick).
Leveraging these strengths as an ICF Certified Professional Coach (PCC) allows her to operate at and offer her very best to her clients, whether she’s working one-on-one, within a team, or integrating an entire organization.
When Karen is working with clients, they feel seen without judgement which allows an open exchange to naturally flow. Most importantly, the foundation of trust created allows her clients to step into the confidence and inspiration and take whatever steps are needed to show up more authentically, and more powerfully, in both work and life.
On and off the job, she is a lifelong learner. Wherever her curiosity leads her —to a new book, a new hiking trail, or on travels her husband and Roxy the dog brings—she finds joy.
