Executive Coaching and Advisory for Senior Leaders in New Roles & Expanded Scopes

Step in.

Stand tall.

Lead boldly.

You didn’t land this role by accident.

You’ve led teams, delivered results, and earned the title.

You are strategic, capable, and ready to make your impact.

But a bigger role demands a new playbook.

You're in a new role or with a newly expanded scope, the stakes are higher. The "old playbook" that made you successful is no longer working.

You're not just managing up and down; you're navigating complex politics sideways with new peers, higher expectations, and far more visibility.

You're not just trying to prove yourself; you're trying to lead with authentic authority, and the path isn't clear.

I know, because I’ve been there.

With 28+ years in international corporate life, culminating as a CEO, I am the Executive Advisor who helps leaders thrive through these exact transitions.

My approach is different. It's not generic leadership training. It combines the strategic, results-driven focus of a CEO with the insightful, relational guidance of a true partner.

We work 1-to-1 to build your new leadership operating system. We replace the "overwhelm" with a clear, actionable plan so you can lead with confidence and authentic authority.

Your New Leadership Operating System

Our work together is a strategic, 1-to-1 partnership to install your new leadership operating system: The Leadership Mandate Framework.

This is the new playbook for your new scope.

Phase 1: Mandate

Go beyond the job description to define your real mandate and what success actually looks like.

Phase 2: Map

See the political landscape and build the key alliances to get things done.

Phase 3: Momentum

Execute your strategic plan through focused action, securing key wins and building sustained momentum over 6 months.

Phase 4: Mindset

Manage pressure and ambiguity with calm, clarity, and confidence, without burning out.

"Karen helped me stay focused, keep moving forward, maneuver the roadblocks that popped up along the way. She is empathetic but also provides an external perspective of your situation—that you cannot see when you are wrapped up in your life." - Peg L.

"I saw an immediate impact in my day-to-day work. Karen quickly understands the issues and provides relevant and easily applicable solutions." - Domitille

"Coaching helped me tremendously with my awareness of myself and thoughts, and overcoming my limiting beliefs. It allowed me to make concrete decisions about what I want to do professionally." - Laurence D.
