Karen is without a doubt the most effective communication trainer and coach with whom I have interacted. Her greatest strength is quickly getting to the heart of the real issue — whether it’s about leadership skills, motivations, or communication styles. Her ability to share these insights clearly and honestly is invaluable. She communicates with a gentle regard for the individual and a firm focus on helping you grow.

In every interaction with Karen I came away with new insights that I could apply to every aspect of my job…there were “aha’s” every time we interacted. I was constantly amazed at what she had to offer — and what she helped me realize that I have to offer others.

Karen is a superb coach in the domain of leadership. Her greatest gift is her ability to firmly and lovingly, from a place of personal humility, help people get real about what is important to them and take responsibility for it.
~ Charles Feltman, Insight Coaching
I was stunned by Karen’s insights gleaned from spending just a few minutes in a large meeting. She has an uncanny ability to correctly analyze behavior and emotional states in her clients. Being coached by Karen is just a little scary because she doesn’t allow you to get away with anything. I trust that she hears everything I intend to say, imply, try to hide, don’t even know I am saying or is being said on a subliminal level!
