I’m honored to have received these testimonials from my coaching clients:

I learned more in ten minutes with Karen than I might have learned in ten months or ten years on my own. Period. There's nothing like being able to draw on the resources of someone else's experience – especially someone as insightful and judicious as Karen. She helped me fast-forward through a maze of uncertainty and come out with a clear sense of purpose, strategy, and confidence. Dom Brassey, Growth & Analytics Leader, Mapbox

I just finished a course of leadership training with Karen and it was fantastic – empowering, insightful, educational, beneficial and fun. I am using these tools every day, referring to them regularly, and finding that they greatly and positively impact how I handle my work. Hire her now.

I learned quite a lot from Karen in a short period. Because of her coaching, I am a stronger leader for the team that I manage, which resulted in higher productivity and team spirit. I am more confident when interacting with cross-functional groups and am able to speak up when things aren't right. As a result, I am a more respected member of the group and earned trust from upper management. I have also built a stronger network to support me and can more effectively influence others. Each time we met, Karen gave me interesting feedback and actionable suggestions to incorporate into my day-to-day life. In addition, she offered me a number of career advice that I really appreciate. I highly recommend her leadership coaching program. Sylvia Fong, Cancer Biologist, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.

I can’t say enough good things about how much Karen’s leadership coaching has helped me up my game. Because of her coaching, I am now more confident standing my ground and voicing alternative viewpoints in a productive way. The leadership team in my office has taken note, and I've received very positive feedback on my improved communication and management skills. I’m also trusting my instincts more, which is impacting the overall effectiveness of my group. I highly recommend her as a leadership coach! Bernadette Forward, Customer Success Manager, Funding Gates

I'm an experienced technical operations leader who works in a fast-paced fulfillment organization. I was looking for a leadership coach to help me develop skills to better scale with the growth of the business without simply working more hours every week. And I'm glad I found Karen Catlin. She helped me improve my delegation skills, which allowed me to spend more time on strategic initiatives with a larger business impact. She helped me be more transparent with my thought process and use inquiry to uncover potential issues in projects. She also helped me more effectively advocate for myself by conveying the high-level impact of my work. Karen leverages her extensive experience as a tech executive to help her clients become stronger leaders. I left each session inspired and armed with practical next steps. Her coaching program works.Sharon Burt, Director of Product Management, Operations and Fulfillment, Teespring

When I started at my company, I worked with Karen to help ensure my first 90 days were successful. Because of her coaching, I developed ties with business leaders across the company and revamped my team's goals and metrics to be closely aligned with their needs. Karen helped me to think strategically about my team's impact, which has made all the difference. I highly recommend her. J.G., Director of Performance Engineering

Karen helped me develop critical leadership skills during the 6 months we worked together. For example, she taught me how to use Impact Statements to describe my work in a way that aligned with my company's strategic goals. As a result, I developed a stronger understanding of our business initiatives, and I was able to position myself as someone who makes an impact. Career doors are now opening for me because of Karen's coaching. F.A., Product Developer
