“I am so grateful to have met Kari during a time in my career path where I needed support around Executive Leadership development. Her empathetic, professional, and multi-faceted approach helped me navigate and build a strong foundation for my next phase of being a confident leader. It is rare to meet a coach that understands the minutia around not only being a woman in a technology industry, but someone who has to wear many hats and navigate the complexities of a startup and nonprofit environment. Kari has a structured approach, yet a fluid support system, helping guide me in a way that felt comfortable, yet still pushing me to grow. She helped me find my center, grounding an authentic and clear voice and mission. Thank you so much Kari! ”
