I first met Kara at a yoga retreat in 2019. She immediately became someone I thought of as a mentor. I was so pleased to have the opportunity to work with her more formally in 2023. I was at a precipice in my career, and I needed guidance and advice before I could launch myself off the edge. Kara walked me through every part of the process. Together, we worked through two different review cycles, prepped and practiced for several difficult conversations regarding title changes and compensation with both senior leadership and the HR department, and drafted not only my own career path, but that of the rest of my team. In addition, she walked me through the logistics of a difficult employee termination and various other managerial tasks that I had been asked to handle with no formal training from my company.
Without Kara’s guidance and encouragement, I would never have had the confidence to ask for what I had rightfully earned. I also wouldn’t have stepped so confidently into my role as a manager. Through her advice, experience, recommended readings, and thought-provoking questions, I have learned so much about myself and the sort of manager I aspire to be for my team.
Best of all, Kara’s encouragement and support feels genuine and sincere. She has the special gift of making a person feel incredibly seen and valued. As my career has mostly been in support roles, I often wondered if I was even a candidate for career coaching. Kara excels at valuing the smallest aspect of daily experiences, making me feel like I matter each and every time we talk.
