Coming Soon
I’m Karen Lam. Welcome! This website is a work in progress.
For 14 years I’ve operated under the name of Compass International. It’s been a glorious run and I’m so grateful for the amazing clients and associates I’ve met through this work.
In one sense nothing has changed — I’m still offering leadership coaching, communications training, facilitation services. I hope we’ll continue to work together.
But in another sense, everything has changed. I’m turning 50 this year, and that is a marvelous galvanizer. As a leader, I want to speak a more radical truth and to invite my clients to do the same.
I want to lead conversations about the things that fascinate me: genius in its many forms, leadership in its many forms. The relationship between power, success and femininity, and how women leaders can be all three at once. How to un-learn what no longer serves us. How to foster less dogma and more dialogue. How to be happy and have more fun!
Over the years I’ve become expert at certain things and I’m proud of this. But it’s time now to launch collectively into topics vast enough that no one can claim to be the designated expert; topics that speak to our human condition and about which we can only say, We’re all in this together, trying our best, finding our way. It’s time, as Rilke says, to “live the questions.”
This site reflects that desire. I won’t be offering services just because I’ve attained some level of mastery after 25 years of practice. I’ll only offer services that reflect my particular brand of genius — so that I can invite you to step more fully into yours.
Will you join me?
