How Does Karen’s Coaching Program Work?

At the start, you and Karen will:

• Assess the fit: Does the program align with your needs?
• Set goals: Specific and achievable
• Plan: Your first deep-dive session

You might focus on:

• Major strategy upgrade
• Improving board dynamics
• Enhancing senior leadership
• Other tailored objectives

Depending on your goals, I support your work using a combination of mentoring, coaching and advising. Most sessions include a mixture of all three. Most participants choose to meet virtually, although the telephone works great, too.  In between sessions, we connect via text and email. Each session concludes with a “who will do what by when” to set our next meeting and summarize.

The Advising Program helps people to meet both professional and personal goals and  provides so much value that many sign up more than once.

Karen’s advice has been extremely valuable. Our conversations always led to practical, applicable recommendations thanks to her gift of immediately generating great ideas. Working with Karen boosted my confidence and helped me think outside the box when approaching issues. Most importantly, our organization’s revenues increased by 84 percent over the same time last year.

Working with Karen exceeded my expectations. Learning what I needed to learn was hard and a cumulative process. Some of it I had to do over three times to get it. Karen’s personal manner, positive attitude, and relationship skills are excellent. We built trust and it allowed me to be vulnerable and lean on her.

I Have a Long List of Challenges. Will Coaching Work for Me?

Probably. For example, during one round, a nonprofit exec accomplished the following. His goal was to start implementing his new strategic plan. During his experience, he:

• Planned out steps for ten goals.
• Prioritized three to put on the front burner.
• Directed his staff to take initial steps on the remaining seven.
• Improved his board relationships by 85 percent.

So, yes, you don’t need to have just one goal. Karen will help you with whatever you bring to the table or what comes up during the session.

I just wanted to THANK YOU so much for your advice, guidance and coaching during these past few months. I definitely feel more confident in my position leading a team and product launches.

What is the Fee?

With Karen’s help, you can get what lies ahead of you into practical, actionable steps. The fee is $7,500, payable in full when you begin the process; paying upfront guarantees that you have Karen’s full attention and time. Although the cost is nonrefundable, you may wish to “halt the calendar” once during the session until you are ready to begin again. To serve you well, Karen limits the number of people she advises at any one time. The fee is for one person from your organization.

What Value Can I Expect from the Program?

Most participants request bi-weekly meetings, receive multiple reviews of drafts, resources from Karen’s treasure chest, and tips on emerging issues. The value you obtain is up to you, but the market value easily exceeds 300 percent and often much more–as you can see by the testimonials.

Does Karen Offer Discounts?

Many people continue beyond one session. If you re-enroll, you receive a $500 fee reduction.

Working with Karen helps me to stay focused on our priorities. Beginning an annual giving society was high on my to-do list. Karen quickly helped me hone in on our options and get the program underway. We’ve quickly closed multi-year commitments.
