She helps guide the transformation of others who are committed to uncovering their unique potential and making a difference in the world. She has written various books to help coaches build a thriving practice, including her latest release, How to Get the Most Out of Coaching: A Client's Guide to Optimizing the Coaching Experience, which she co-wrote with Alex Mill.

Today, Karen shares her journey from working in the corporate world to creating her coaching practice and the differences she noticed when coaching instead of consulting. She ponders the responsibilities of both coaches and clients and explores whether top-down regulation would benefit the industry. She also divulges why she chose to write her coaching book from the client’s perspective and explains how to use the book as part of the client onboarding process.
