Karen has a formal background and training in business economics, but was seeking that unique combination of her creative right brain with her more analytical left and found it in the space of facilitation and coaching.

For a decade she has helped high potential individuals be more effective in the management of self and their teams in Public, Private and NGO environments. She is an ICF-accredited (PCC) and COMENSA credentialed coach and an executive facilitator.
