She was more prepared and in my opinion, more educated than any of the previous dining etiquette speakers. Karen kept student attention through her energetic style and through creative use of candy incentives and Kahoot interactive web game. She also initiated a lively skit that students enjoyed.

I worked with Karen to help me navigate my career change, and her guidance was indispensable. For years I have been considering a career change but never knew what I wanted to do or how I would do it. After working with Karen, I now have a good idea of my next step and have even started networking! She provides a great framework and a pragmatic approach to help you make a decision you can feel confident about. I feel that I am finally taking action and could not have done it without Karen's guidance.

A great decision with a rediscovering of my new direction and complete career change. Karen helped rediscover my natural talents and what was important to me to move forward, leaving the comfort zone I had found myself in. Through my sessions, Karen's encouragement and knowledge takes you on a journey to find what really matters and what is valued in making your choice for a new career. The time spent working with Karen was most valuable and highly recommended. Thank you Karen!

Working with Karen during my time of transition was wonderful! She helped me think of networking in a completely new way, and her input on my resume was invaluable. She also offered such valuable insight in the job search which led to my being hired at a place of employment that was several steps up from the position that I had been eliminated. I strongly recommend engaging her services not only if you are in employment transition, but also if you value networking and advancement. She was great!

Karen is phenomenal! She offers new ways to understand and implement a job search that leverage the most effective strategies. Her practical advice and personal encouragement create confidence and optimism during a stressful time. Zoom means you don't have to live in Pittsburgh to benefit from her services. Call her and take your search to a new level.

I've had the pleasure of working with Karen over the last several months on outplacement services for one of our locations. Karen is truly passionate about helping others and has a unique ability to get everyone on board with her ideas - especially those who were initially on completely different pages. Karen was able to provide knowledge and comfort to each individual team member during a very difficult time and spent time with each team member to address their specific concerns.

No matter how difficult the push back, Karen was always open to ideas and suggestions and found ways to assist each team member in a way that worked for them. Karen was knowledgeable, patient, compassionate and determined to meet all of their needs before we closed our doors. Thank you, Karen!
