Coaching is the adventure of a lifetime and I love helping people get their bags ready for the ride.
Why I Coach—
I know it works. Like so many of us, I’ve faced setbacks that shook me to the core. They left me doubtful about the foundation I’d spent a lifetime taking for granted. Each obstacle presented me with two choices: take the opportunity to define the future I wanted, or surrender to uncertainty and doubt.
I chose to fight like hell for myself and my future. Part of that process involved finding my coach. Through our work, my life was profoundly changed. I saw my life with greater clarity, stoked by an enthusiasm for the everyday that I hadn’t felt since I was a kid. Coaching was, hands down, the single best decision I’d ever made.
I’m a coach because I am passionate about that powerful kind of transformation and I know it’s possible for anyone. I am proud to be a part of others’ processes, sifting through years of faulty assumptions and identifying the core strengths they need to move forward.
Who I am as a Coach —
I am present, available, and intuitive.
Anchored in service, empowerment, inspiration, and fun, I provide a safe space for your discovery.
I not only embrace change but I thrive on it.
I love seeing people light up and discover their gifts.
I am growing. I am grateful. I’m just like you.
A bit about me -
I’ve been coaching for as long as I can remember.
I recall sitting on my family’s trampoline at 8 years old talking to a close friend and hearing her suggest that I should be a “professional listener” because she loved sharing things with me and I loved listening. I’ve coached in every stage of my life and at every job. I’ve coached teams (athletic and organizational), coached my close friends over a cup of coffee and coached myself time and again. It comes naturally to me and serving others in this way brings me so much joy.
I hail most recently from 20 years in the wild world of non-profit executive life after having spent my early adult years searching for my “thing”. It turns out that my “thing” was always right there, obvious to many but not to me, that is, until I started the process of being formally coached myself. Session after session, the picture became clearer for me and I knew I was meant to be a coach. I knew I’d found that seemingly elusive thing. And the rest is history, as they say. I muscled up the courage to take the biggest leap of my life and officially “became” what I had always been…and I haven’t turned back!
" Kari is an amazing life coach. She is very empathic and professional. She has a versatile tool box that can help anyone gain clarity, make great change and create next steps while having a supportive ear by your side. Working with Kari has given me the opportunity to step out of myself, leaving a blank canvas to be creative and to fulfill my goals. I am now able to easily identify the areas I want to work on and incorporate strategies to feel empowered and move forward. Thanks Kari. I am so grateful for your expertise and sensitivity. ”
