A CAREER CATALYST FOR CREATIVE LEADERS AND ENTREPRENEURS

HI, I’M KAREN.

I am an executive leadership and career coach, specializing in helping creative leaders and entrepreneurs take charge of their careers. Through powerful coaching conversations, I guide creative leaders like you to achieve the success that aligns with your career goals.

As a Certified Professional Coach with decades of experience leading creative teams, I understand the unique challenges you face. Whether it’s navigating industry change, reinventing your career, stepping into a courageous leadership role, or launching a new creative endeavor, I help you move from where you are to where you want to be by unlocking your full potential. Together, we'll explore possibilities beyond what you thought possible.

My Coaching Philosophy: I believe that dreaming big, paired with decisive action, leads to living big. My approach is rooted in asking insightful questions that help you think expansively and visualize the future you desire. Our partnership is built on trust and authenticity—I create a space where you can be your true self, explore your creative edge, and take meaningful steps toward your goals.
