work wITH ME: THE CAREER CATALYST
HELPING SENIOR EXECUTIVES SEE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT CHANGES THE TRAJECTORY OF THEIR CAREER
for leaders MAKing CAREER-DEFINING MOVES
I work with senior leaders, founders, and executives at pivotal moments in their careers—when what's worked really well until now is no longer enough for where they're headed next.
You've built credibility. You've delivered results. People trust you.
But every successful career reaches a point where working harder isn't the answer. The questions become bigger. The stakes become higher. And the decisions you make next have the power to shape not just your role, but the trajectory of your career.
My role is to help you step back, see the bigger picture, and make those decisions with clarity, perspective, and conviction.
The work often begins with moments like this...
You're preparing for a successful exit after decades of leading a global business.
You've realized you've become the bottleneck - and your business needs a different version of you.
You're stepping into a bigger role where the playbook that made you successful no longer applies.
Your impact on the business has outgrown the way you're perceived.
You're not ready to retire. You're ready for a different kind of challenge.
The goal isn't simply to make your next move. It's to make the move that changes the trajectory of your career.

Here’s how we can work together

READY TO SOAR
An Ongoing Partnership for Your Next Chapter. High-performing leaders work with me when the next move has the power to change the trajectory of their career. At this level, you don't need another plan. You need a trusted thinking partner who can see the bigger picture, ask the questions you're too close to ask yourself, and help you make better decisions.
There's no set agenda because leadership doesn't unfold in a straight line. We start with what's most important now: a decision you're wrestling with, an opportunity you're considering, or a conversation you can't afford to get wrong.
Over the next 6–12 months, we work through the challenges that matter most in real time—whether you're stepping into a bigger role, building something new, preparing for a successful transition, or redefining your leadership.

CREATIVE CATALYST
Build the Career You Actually Want. Catalyst90 is a focused, 90-day sprint for leaders who are ready to make a significant career move. Whether you're pursuing a larger role, changing direction, or building something new, we work together to create the clarity, strategy, and momentum to move forward with intention.
We start by getting clear. Together, we'll step back from the day-to-day to understand what you really want, what strengths you bring, and what may be standing in the way.
Next, we build your strategy. We'll define where you're headed, how you want to be known, and the steps that will move you toward opportunities that align with your goals.
Then we put it into action. Whether that's positioning, networking, interviews, or important conversations, I'll help you navigate the process with clarity and confidence.
In 90 days, you'll have more than a plan. You'll know exactly where you're headed and have the strategy to get there.

Whether you're navigating a complex transition, preparing for a high-visibility opportunity, or making a career-defining decision, this is the space to sharpen your vision and act with precision.
You'll leave with clear priorities, renewed confidence, and a plan you can put into action immediately.

"I consider myself lucky to have had Karen there to help me tap into my potential. She presented keys that helped unlock each step as I up-leveled with every session. She's a treasure who brought out the best in me, and I felt (and still feel) her championing me with each step I took.”
