Karen did a great job throughout our months together at not trying to second-guess my priorities, but by pushing me to get above the fray and work on my business and my personal growth in an intentional way. One of the most valuable parts for me was having the commitment to that appointment every two weeks where my focus would be on *how* I was managing and leading, *what* I was investing my time in, and *where* I wanted to be going. Just like fitness, that time investment doesn't happen unless it's in the calendar. CEO, IT Industry

One of the best Helpouts! Karen was very knowledgeable and informative. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with their resume/ cover letter. I'll definitely be scheduling anotherHelpout with her soon. Cierra Releford
Karen did her research about me based on the materials I had sent her and was prepared for the meeting. So, no time was wasted on going through known material. In order to provide relevant advice, one needs to be a good listener which she indeed was. She ended up spending much longer time than allotted and provided some key unemotional perspectives which helped me a lot in my thinking about the different career choices ahead of me. All in all, it was the best hour I spent in recent times. Thank you Karen. P. Krishna

Karen was immensely helpful during the 15 minute Helpout she provided.

Karen is a real expert on Human Resources, Career and Job Interviewing. I was looking for advice on a specific topic, as I will have a very important interview in a few weeks, and she gave me very good advice on things to do, and even ways of talking, vocabulary to use, skills to show, among others. Now I feel more confident for my future challenge. All of this was very positively complemented by her work before the Helpout; she sent me useful documents on interviewing, and she carefully read my CV and all the materials I sent her, so she gave me very good and personalized advice and highlights. I will certainly recommend her to my friends and workmates. Leiza Brumat

Coaching has been helpful in my progression in business and has also affected my thought process on personal aspects. The need to keep growing, maturing, looking at different perspectives and taking the “road less traveled” has definitely been a driver. Quality of life at work and home is becoming very important, the need to achieve both simultaneously is the main goal. Senior Manager, Architectural Co
