Corporate Engagements

Protect Your Leadership Investments from Day One.

Ensure senior leaders integrate, build influence, and deliver impact in their first 180 days and beyond.

What's At Stake.

Even the most capable leaders can falter if they’re not supported through critical transitions.

Stepping into a bigger role or a new organization comes with pressure: earning trust, navigating politics, and delivering results fast. Without the right integration, it’s easy for momentum to stall.

You’ve seen it happen:

A newly promoted VP who struggles to bring the team with them by Month 3
An external hire who never quite gains internal traction
A proven high performer who pushes too hard and risks burnout early

These aren’t gaps in ability. They’re signs of transitions left unsupported — and they can cost your organization in performance, retention, and reputation.

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 partner 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.

Ways We Can Partner Together:

Executive Transition Coaching:

Tailored 1:1 coaching for senior leaders stepping into bigger roles. Engagements range from 12 weeks to 12 months, depending on the scope of the transition.

Using my proprietary framework, The First 180™, I help your executives:

Build traction and trust in their first six months
Establish credibility and influence quickly
Avoid costly early missteps that can derail impact

Whether it’s a fast-track sprint or a longer partnership, the focus is the same: ensuring your critical leadership investments deliver results that last.
Ideal for Director, VP, or SVP hires or internal promotions.

Leadership Circles:

Facilitated, cohort-based sessions where your senior leaders tackle the real issues that shape performance: conflict, alignment, accountability, and influence.

Each Circle blends peer exchange with structured tools and coaching. Leaders walk away not only with stronger solutions but also with the network and confidence to implement them.

Designed for leadership teams or cross-functional groups who need to accelerate collaboration and impact.

Keynotes & Workshops:

Dynamic, practical sessions tailored to your organization’s priorities — from building executive presence, to integrating new leaders, to strengthening resilience and mental fitness.

Every session is interactive, grounded in real-world leadership, and designed for immediate application.

Ideal for leadership offsites, senior team meetings, or internal talent initiatives such as HiPo programs, mentoring networks, and Career Days.

"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.
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

"Karen is an exceptional leadership coach and mentor, who made a powerful impact on the Leadership Principles introduction for the Insights Lighthouse Mentorship Project.

As a strong leader herself, she has the rare ability to convey the essence of leadership in a way that truly resonates with Insights and Marketing leaders seeking growth in this field.

Her authentic storytelling, deep honesty, and insightful approach create a transformative experience for our diverse audience. The way she demystifies leadership principles and brings them to life through real-world examples leaves a lasting impact.

I would highly recommend Karen as both a leadership expert and motivational speaker. If you are looking for someone to inspire, guide, and empower professionals on their leadership journey, Karen is the perfect choice." - Olga, Sr Marketing Director

As a former C-Suite exec, I understand the challenges and the potential.
