Leadership Connect

Get Energized and Re-Engaged Through Customized, Facilitated Leadership Experiences

DESIGNED TO INSPIRE YOU, AND MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR ORGANIZATION.

Experiences are designed with the latest COVID protocols and your comfort level top-of-mind. Virtual offerings promise to be unique and engaging in new ways.

Senior Leadership Connect Experiences

I bring senior leaders from non-compete companies together to discuss current and relevant leadership topics and apply them to their current roles and life in a supportive, non-judgmental, confidential way.

These experiences are designed for senior leaders who are inspired and ready to take their leadership and learning to the next level. My goal is to provide insightful, customized experiences through facilitated conversation with like-minded leaders on themes of current relevance to best practice leadership.

“Karen has provided me with executive leadership coaching. I have had the opportunity to sort through some very key issues and professional challenges through the coaching work. I have been able to step back and clarify what my professional goals are. With Karen’s support I have identified when goals were not being met and have determined appropriate, and, at times, creative strategies to institute organizational change.”

“Since working with Karen starting in 2005, she has facilitated significant professional and personal growth that has enabled me to achieve a level of leadership not previously attainable. With thought provoking questions, Karen’s unique ability brings clarity to challenges and assists in creating a plan of action to handle them as well as developing building blocks for the future.”

Karen helped me identify and articulate my professional goals and then gave me the intellectual tools to realize them. My life, both personally and professionally, would not be where it is today had it not been for Karen’s coaching & friendship.”

Leadership Team Connect Experiences​

I work with leadership teams in organizations to create customized experiences to raise awareness, gain insight, and become inspired to think and act differently to achieve increased success.

My approach is not the usual training facilitation. I engage with the team and the relevant themes using care, connection and trust to help people be at their best and do their best. These experiences explore:

  • Customized team and strategy planning.
  • Team engagement, wellness, & resiliency.
  • Practices for improving collaboration.
  • “Back on track” plans – what is working, what would be better, and what is getting in the way?
  • Introspective thinking and exercises to ensure we are focusing on the right things.

I create and facilitate the experience – the team commits to stepping into it with an open and curious mind making commitments to try new ways of leading.
