Don’t Lose Great Talent to a Bad Landing.
Set your senior leaders up to integrate, gain traction, and lead effectively. From Day One.
What's At Stake.
Your senior leaders aren’t underperforming because they lack talent.
They’re stalling because they were never set up to integrate, influence, or lead in your environment.
You’ve seen it happen:
-
A newly promoted VP who loses the team by Month 3
-
An external hire who never gets internal traction
-
A high-performing leader who burns out trying to prove themselves too fast
These aren’t individual failures.
They’re signs of under-supported transitions...and they cost you performance, retention, and credibility.
How I help:
I help companies protect their most critical leadership investments - starting with integration.
With 30 years of global leadership experience, including as a former CEO, and certified expertise in executive coaching and Positive Intelligence®, I work with senior leaders during high-stakes transitions.
I help your newly hired or promoted executives:
-
Navigate politics, power structures, and culture fit
-
Build trust with the team and stakeholders fast
-
Show up with credibility and influence from Day One
-
Avoid early missteps that derail promising talent
Because onboarding isn’t enough.
Integration is what makes the hire stick.

"Karen led a series of workshops with our team of Project Managers handling our European clients. The goal was to equip them with practical tools to navigate unusual or challenging situations, strike the right balance between commitment and assertiveness with stakeholders, and build confidence through hands-on, concrete examples.Â
From the very beginning, the team responded enthusiastically to Karen’s approach. She created a safe, empathetic space for open discussion, while sharing methods that were immediately actionable. Her flexibility, fluid communication style, and ability to adapt to the team’s needs truly stood out.
Beyond her practical insights, Karen’s experience and presence proved to be a real source of inspiration for the group.
I am confident in the long-term benefits of choosing to work with Karen and highly recommend her." - Guillaume, COO
